GetAway Retreat

GetAway provides first year students an escape from campus in their first semester. This experience provides a space to step back from busy college life, to have fun, meet other first-years, hear from upperclassmen's experiences, and reflect on where you want to go over the next four years. This is a non-faith based experience, so students of all or no faith traditions are welcome to participate.
