The Chicano/Latino Leadership Retreat is geared towards student empowerment through political, cultural, and social consciousness building. By providing a safe, welcoming, and accepting space for all students we hope to create an environment conducive to community interaction as well as self-reflections.
In 1999-2000 student leaders saw the need for an annual student leadership retreat to specifically address the needs of the UCD Chicano/Latino community. The Chicano/Latino Intern of '99-00' at the Cross Cultural Center (M. Villalobos) took on the responsibility of coordinating the group planning, funding, and implementatino of the retreat. In Fall 2000 the first annual retreat occured with great success. Later that year seeing the successful outcome of the first retreat, the Student Recruitment and Retention Center made a strong move to permanently house and fund the retreat. Overview: Workshop Themes Speakers

Currently these student led recruitment and retention center is second of its kind within the nation. The SRRC is founded upon the basic philosophy of holistic education and empowerment.
