Lead the way

Almost 150 Wright State University students and a dozen staff and faculty members participated in the Established Leadership Retreat Aug. 11-13.

Now in its 18th year, the summer leadership experience is designed to build relationships between student leaders at Wright State.

“These students are really our most engaged students,” said Gina Keucher, assistant director of Student Involvement and Leadership. “They really lead our students in great ways.”

The retreat consisted of interactive team-building and experiential-based activities, workshops and presentations that challenged and engaged students.

“After I completed the program, it really changed who I am as a person and a leader,” said India Hector, a senior human resource management major who participated in the program for the past two years.

On the last day of the retreat, students used what they learned and the connections they made to create action plans for the 2024–2025 academic year.

“These students are the ones who make a difference on campus,” said Keucher. “They are building collaborative partnerships, which is a great way to make our school better.”
