Winter Leadership Retreat
Held every year during the Winter Quarter, the Winter Leadership Retreat brings together students from across campus to explore a variety of leadership topics and build a community of student leaders. The Center for Leadership & Service and Center for Cultural & Inclusive Excellence invite students from all different leadership paths, from experienced student leaders to those who may not even see themselves as a leader yet, to participate in this retreat. The retreat will provide opportunities for students to reflect on their own leadership journeys while connecting with a community of student leaders at Highline.

We believe that everyone can be a leader and that leadership is not about holding a position. Even if you’ve never thought of yourself as a “leader” before, we encourage you to attend to explore more about what leadership means to you. And if you already know you’re a leader, the retreat is a great place for even more growth and to learn more about yourself.
