Trips

  • Pre-Orientation First-Year Retreat
    • The pre-orientation for Bonners is an intensive three and a half day retreat that begins with a welcome dinner allowing Bonners to meet one another and be introduced to the CEC and Bonner. Ice breakers and community building are present throughout the retreat, with a half day dedicated to team-building at YMCA Camp St. Croix. Retreat topics cover: Bonner 101, Personal Mission Statement Activity, Bonner Handbook, Bonner Expectations, Group Norms, and Lake Street Tour and Community Mapping. Bonners are introduced to key on-campus departments and staff that provide student support services - Dean's Office, Health and Wellness, MAX Center for Academic Excellence. The retreat ends with a group service project.
  • First Year Service Trip
    • The Bonner First Year Service Trip to New Orleans is designed to promote learning about multiple social issues through service, community connections and discussion.  In preparation for this experience, participants meet weekly to learn about the neighborhoods and communities they  will be working with, to gain a greater understanding of the social, economic, and political impacts of Katrina, and to reflect on motives for participating in an alternative break. To learn more about the trip and see the schedule go to Best Practice Buzz - Winter Break Trips or Bonner Program Service Trips - Macalester College in NOLA
