Beginning the Year Well: A Half-Day Ignatian Retreat for Faculty and Staff
Saturday, August 15, 2026
9:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Before the pace of the new academic year gathers speed, take a few hours simply to pause.
As campus begins to come alive again, this on-campus retreat offers faculty and staff a gentle opportunity to prepare for the year ahead through silence, prayer, and guided reflection.
The morning includes brief reflections and generous periods of silence for personal prayer and reflection. People of all faith traditions—and those who are simply seeking a quiet space for reflection—are warmly welcome. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
