What is MOSAIC?
MOSAIC is a two-day, one-night weekend retreat focused on exploring the relationship between diversity and leadership. Interactive sessions and group discussions are designed to create an environment for individuals to examine their identity and how it influences their understanding of and approach to leadership. The event is coordinated by the Adele H. Stamp Student Union - Center for Campus Life; and, is facilitated by both students and staff. Goals of the retreat include developing a stronger sense of self-awareness, examining how identity influences leadership, and engaging in conversations around how to use insights to shape the Maryland campus community.
Why should I attend?
There are many reasons to attend this exciting event! First and foremost, it is an opportunity for personal reflection and development. Participation will provide a platform to increase your level of self-awareness as well as awareness of who you are in relationship to others. You’ll also have an opportunity to learn important life skills and concepts that can be applied to life after college. This includes skills that relate to communicating across differences, leadership, and working towards social justice. There will also be a variety of hands-on activities, discussions, and simulation exercises that will help make this a powerful experience. Finally, the MOSAIC retreat is a fantastic way to meet new people with similar interests and connect with the University of Maryland community.
Who should attend?
MOSAIC is open to all students from the University of Maryland. Retreat participants will represent the broad interests, experiences, backgrounds, and diversity that can be found here at Maryland. We welcome all students to Mosaic — in fact, you do not need to be highly involved or the president of a student organization to join us at Camp Letts! We specifically encourage students who are new or "getting their feet wet" with campus involvement to apply, as we hope that emerging leaders can bring some of the good work of this retreat back to College Park.
