Over three days in November, you will make new friends, build community, experience personal growth, explore leadership opportunities and get energized for Winter and Spring campus activities. We will explore what brings us together within the LGBTQA community, as well as how our different experiences and identities create spaces for ally-building and activism.  No leadership experience required – all students are welcome regardless of student organization affiliation or prior experience.

The LGBTQA Retreat is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs for CC/SEAS and College Activities and Diversity Initiatives at Barnard and is open to undergraduate students from GS / CC / SEAS / Barnard.
