IGNATIAN LEADERSHIP FORMATION PROGRAM

More than 75 members of the junior and senior classes were chosen for Rockhurst’s inaugural Ignatian Leadership Formation Program One aspect of the program was a retreat held over Aug. 22-23 with the theme of servant leadership, followed by quarterly meetings and reflection. The two-day retreat was filled with Sacraments, prayer, alumni guest speakers, team-building exercises, and fun.

This first group of students were identified last spring by faculty and staff members as having particularly strong leadership qualifications, or were students who self-selected by volunteering as hopeful retreat leaders.

At press time, the second annual program is well into planning and set to take place over Aug. 21-22.
