Our next Freshman Retreat is the 2025 Winter Freshman Retreat on February 7 - 9, at the CU Retreat Center in Griswold, Iowa. Students meet on campus and shuttles will transport us to the retreat center.

The Freshman Retreat is an opportunity for first year students to reflect on the challenges, questions, and new opportunities that come with the transition from High School to college.

This weekend retreat is centered around shared meals, shared prayer experiences, and small group conversations—creating an opportunity to build relationship with God, self, and others.

Although the retreat is shaped by our Jesuit, Catholic tradition, all persons (regardless of faith tradition) are invited and encouraged to partake in this weekend retreat.

Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
— Joshua 1:9
