The DISCOVER Retreat team includes 5 student leaders. Along with the coordinator and Resident Ministers, student leaders share their own experience of discernment. Each student leader not only facilitates a small group, but also shares a talk on her/his experience of one of the "Three Key Questions" of DISCOVER: "What brings me joy? What are my gifts? Who does the world need me to be?" Student leaders meet weekly in November and January to prepare for the retreat, and help recruit participants.

The Student Coordinator works closely with campus ministry staff to plan and prepare the student leaders for their roles on the DISCOVER retreat. The Coordinator assists with much of the logistical coordination prior to and during the DISCOVER weekend, as well as training the student leaders in the skills necessary for great retreat facilitation.

Several members of the Resident Ministry team serve on the DISCOVER retreat team. You'll find RMs cooking delicious meals, sharing talks on their experiences of discernment, and leading workshops of some of their favorite discernment practices. RMs bring a dynamic, creative, and wise energy to the retreat -- ask your RM if he or she will be leading this year's retreat!
