Apply for STRiVE 2016
by David Hoffman and Craig Berger
The application for UMBC's 2016 STRiVE student leadership retreat (January 11-15, 2016) is now available. If you're a UMBC undergraduate interested in learning about yourself, building new skills, making new friends and becoming an agent of change on campus and in your community, you should consider applying; this is an experience like no other. Here are a few of the Facebook status updates and tweets posted by participants in STRiVE 2015:
- I look forward to using my newly discovered strengths and values to create change on campus and in the world. I feel privileged to have met all the amazing people I spent the week with and I look forward to working with you all to turn our visions into realities.
- Leading with integrity, simplicity, and respect while getting to know people complexly before making assumptions about them is the key to strong leadership. Special thanks to all of the wonderful coaches that made this experience unforgettable.
- STRiVE wasn't just an experience, it was a journey- a beautiful and enlightening journey. I met so many wonderful people and the best part? I met ME- the true me
- A great fun-filled and educational experience! I learned so much about leadership and hope to expand my knowledge for future projects.
- What a life-changing...world changing experience! Being able to attend STRiVE this week and dig deep for strengths to carry out the words we live by was such a blessing. The world doesn't need people who just casually talk about change, they need people who talk passionately, plan carefully and execute plans radically.
Now it's your turn! I'll be on the coaching team for STRiVE 2016 sessions, and I hope to see you there. Apply! Applications are due on November 8, 2015 by 11:59 p.m.
