Application deadline: September 27th, 11:59 p.m. All students are welcome to apply.

The retreat will be held on campus on October 19th, 2024 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The Women of Color Retreat has worked to create a community focused on finding meaning, healing, support, and trust amongst students in the NC State community. Our purpose is to help all participants move towards actualization by focusing on the inner parts of the self. Furthermore, the broad goal of the retreat is to create a space where women of color students, in particular, can express themselves, explore their multiple realities and intersecting identities, in addition to discovering and critically examining the intricacies of their own agency, leadership, solidarity, sisterhood, and scholarship.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to assess their own agency.
• Students will learn to transform critical engagement in ways that uncover and create change.
• Students will employ strategies to engage in healthy and supportive intercultural dialogue.
• Students will demonstrate varying approaches to building and retaining the campus community.

Join us on September 13th from 12 – 1 p.m. in the Women’s Center (5210 Talley) for our Information Session. We will talk about the retreat schedule and content for the retreat. The session is a great place for students and retreat applicants to ask questions and learn more.

This retreat centers the voices and experiences of women of color, and all students are welcome to apply.  Applications are now OPEN! Deadline to apply: September 27th at 11:59pm.
