The Social Justice Leadership Retreat (SJLR) helps students explore their personal stories and experiences with their peers and in the contexts of systems of power and oppression. SJLR is held annually at an off-site retreat.
By participating in the Social Justice Leadership Retreat, students:
- Identify their own multiple intersecting identities, experiences, and biases and how they map onto concepts of privilege, dominance, and oppression.
- Explain how their identities and experiences influence their understanding of leadership.
- Demonstrate an understanding of their role in interrupting bias and prejudice in themselves and their community and their role in developing strategies to build positive communities.
