The 2009 Freshmen Retreat will feature local businessman and entrepreneur Steve Zinkgraf, who was also a speaker last year.  This year, the Honors Program will also host a talent show where students can showcase a talent or performance of their choice.  This is the perfect avenue to foster student creativity.  Past acts have included: bluegrass music, recitation of poetry, band performances, balancing acts, and more.  Students are encouraged to participate and are not limited in their type of performance.  The option to perform in the talent show is included in the retreat application.

The retreat is free for admitted freshmen and required for students in our Living Learning Community, but it is limited to the first 75 students to sign up.  Applications for the retreat are no longer being accepted at this time.  If you would like to see highlights from this year's retreat, click here.
