Are you a first-year interested in building community during your first quarter at SU? New Student Retreat is a Seattle U tradition offered by Campus Ministry each fall quarter as a way for first-year and transfer undergraduate students to build community, reflect on their hopes for their journey at SU, and have fun! On New Student Retreat, you'll have the chance to get off campus for a weekend, build community in a small group of your peers, reflect on your journey to and at SU, mix and mingle with fellow new students across similarities and difference, and relax and have fun! Registration opens September 14 and closes on October 22.
