The members of the Penn State World Campus Student Advisory Board and the World Campus Student Government Association participated in a retreat for student leaders from May 21 to 23.

The retreat included sessions with Penn State World Campus staff and administrators, and the students took a tour of the University Park campus. Some students participated in the retreat remotely via Zoom.

Those who came to the University Park campus got to stay in on-campus residence halls.

Here are some photos of the retreat.
