Coca-Cola Leadership Retreat Packages
The Ohio Union is proud to partner with Coca-Cola to provide outstanding leadership development opportunities for student organizations. At this point, funding for Leadership Retreat Packages is not confirmed and so applications are not yet available. We are hopeful that this will be resolved soon so that retreat packages can be made available.
Although financial support is not available at this time, Ohio Union staff can help you plan and implement your retreat utilizing campus-based resources. We can:
- Consult with you on the overall agenda and goals for your retreat
- Help select or design activities
- Provide facilitators (staff or trained students through Student Leadership Advocates) for portions of, or your entire retreat
- Supply equipment and resources that are available to all student organizations through the Ohio Union
If you have specific questions, or would like to set up a consultation meeting to discuss your retreat plans and available assistance, please contact Jen Pelletier or call 614-292-8763.
