Description
The Hunt Leadership Scholars begin each academic year with a retreat to the SMU-in-Taos campus. During this retreat, one of the program’s signature events, students go white water rafting, hiking, and are able to connect with one another on our beautiful and relaxing Taos campus. Team building with a view is the perfect way to kick off each new school year for these student leaders! By increasing this endowment, our gifts will grow and continue to provide opportunities for Hunt Leadership Scholars.
“Having the opportunity to attend the Hunt Retreat the past three years has been an incredibly fun and enjoyable travel experience, but more importantly, the retreat is an opportunity for first year Hunt Scholars to truly see what the program is all about. Whether talking with upperclass students about their experiences as Hunt Scholars at SMU or getting to know our new “family” through team-building and bonding activities such as whitewater rafting, hiking, or stargazing, attending the Hunt Taos Retreat is an invaluable experience. The retreat is such a unique opportunity for the Hunt Scholars to take some time to gain perspective and to truly focus on how we can not only be our best selves at SMU, but also how to help each other develop as leaders, students, and future world-changers.”
