It is an annual tradition at the end of each admission cycle-- our staff retreat where the counseling staff meets for three days to reflect on this past year and start planning for next year. This retreat is where many of our new initatives are created (new ideas for things like our publication materials or on-campus events), as each counselor has the opportunity to share his or her thoughts with the rest of the staff. After drawing up plans and giving each counselor their projects/responsibilities, we have the summer to put the plans into motion and make sure they are ready to go for next fall! At the same time, the retreat is a nice bonding experience for the counselors, and gives us the chance to relax and take a look back at how the past year went.

So, I will talk to you again when we return!!! Have a nice week!
