The Common Ground Retreat brings UCR students together for community building through a social justice lens. We will explore what brings us together, as well as how our different experiences and identities can create spaces for ally-building and activism. The retreat will be October 14-16, 2016 @ Camp Pilgrim Pines.

This application is for students who wish to attend the Common Ground Retreat. Be mindful of giving thoughtful responses to the questions below, as the review committee will solely utilize this application to select student participants.

All transportation, housing and meals will be provided free of charge. While the retreat is free to participants, those invited to attend who confirm and then fail to show up for the retreat will have their student account charged $100.

If selected to participate, an email will be sent to you with the paperwork necessary to complete your application. Your completed paperwork (photo release, emergency contact, and liability waiver) will be due by Week 1 of Fall Quarter. If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Tubbs <nancy.tubbs@ucr.edu> 951.827.2267 or Joe Virata <joe.virata@ucr.edu> 951.827.7215.
