Maricopa Colleges Global Leadership Retreat

“On November 7-9, 2008 in Prescott, Arizona, 85 international and residential students of the Maricopa Community Colleges convened for the 2nd Annual Global Leadership Retreat in effort to raise cultural diversity and global awareness among the participants and strengthen the internationalization collaboration between the Maricopa Colleges.  Additionally, the retreat serves as a bridge for student learning and development activities among all 10 colleges, as well as a retention tool for continued student success.  The retreat planning, coordination, and participation comes from throughout the District, which in turn fosters a greater sense of community (“One Maricopa”).”
