36 votesThe Presidents' Retreat was a very refreshing experience. Despite being a part of my club for the past 3 years and knowing the club structure and its goals, developing my own leadership skills and thinking about my passions was brought out in the session.

This was the most human experience I've had at U of T.

As leader of a small club that is still getting back on its feet after going virtual during the pandemic, it was invigorating to be chat with and learn from other leaders.
