Senior Get-Away
MAP OUT YOUR FUTURE
Senior Get-Away — January 23-25, 2008
Sponsored by Career Services, Student Affairs, and University Ministry, this seminar-style retreat is perfect for anyone:
- Unsure what to do after graduation
- Interested in learning from the experiences of recent USD alumni
- Curious how to find meaningful work, healthy relationships, and life-giving community
- In search of an extraordinary life
Designed to assist USD seniors in preparing for their last semester of college as well as the transitions which follow, this retreat will address practical concerns such as finding a job, managing finances, and forming healthy relationships. The gathering will also provide numerous opportunities for participants to reflect on their time at USD, to consider what they have learned about themselves, and to envision the people they would like to become.
The three key themes of the retreat are: meaningful work, healthy relationships, and community. Recent USD graduates will share their experiences around each of these topics and provide wisdom for the road ahead.
