MY IOWA is an engaging FREE overnight weekend retreat for UI students designed to increase awareness and understanding of diversity and leadership on The University of Iowa campus. UI staff, peer facilitators, and members of the group will create an environment where students can:

• Create a better understanding of leadership
• Explore personal experiences and perspectives
• Understand cultural identity and how it influences perspectives
• Recognize stereotypes and understand personal biases
• Increase communication and interpersonal skills
• View cultural differences as an asset
• Increase knowledge and understanding of the UI community

The Office of Student Life, the Center for Diversity and Enrichment, the Office for International Students and Scholars, the Counseling Center and the University of Iowa Student Government offers UI students the opportunity to participate this 24 hours retreat held at Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca in Solon, Iowa. The summit will include discussions with University Administrators, “community conversations,” leadership workshops, University resources, and time to network with other student leaders.

Registration, transportation, accommodations, and meals are FREE of charge. Individuals attending the retreat are asked to be active participants. All UI students, regardless of year in school or major, are welcome and encouraged to attend. Space is limited to 50 students. The most important part of My Iowa is to HAVE FUN!

If you would like to apply for the summit please fill out the application & waiver and return it to the OSL Office (145 IMU) ASAP or before October 8th, 2007.

We hope to see you there!
