Leadership Retreat
The Leadership Retreat is an annual fall event where first-year students are presented with the opportunity to become acclimated to the leadership 'climate' of Frostburg State University. By engaging in activities designed to build upon individual strengths and facilitate group skills, students are given the opportunity to become more cognizant and effective as leaders. This program also serves as a platform for positive mentorship by connecting first-year students with faculty and staff in addition to seniors from the President's Leadership Circle.
