AUG. 5-9, 2009, ARROYO GRANDE, CA - The California Student Sustainability Coalition’s 5th annual summer leadership retreat was a success! From August 5th through August 9th student leaders from across the state gathered in the beautiful hillsides of Newsom Springs Ranch in Arroyo Grande.
Students represented from Community Colleges, Cal States, and UC’s shared best practices for creating “a culture of sustainabilty” on their campuses, as well as collaborated on and gave input for statewide programs and events.
From creating a collective vision and reviewing facts behind climate change to playing the hokey pokey and eating delicious slow food family style dinners, the retreat was said to be an unforgettable experience. Alicia Chu from California University of Irvine said of the retreat, “This retreat was a turning point in my life” and she voiced hopes of bringing her inspiration back to her community at UCI.
