PossePlus Retreat March 5-7, 2027
The PossePlus Retreat is a weekend of interactive and challenging exploration facilitated by The Posse Foundation that brings together diverse members of college campuses to discuss important social issues. Originally started by the first Posse Scholars at Vanderbilt University, each retreat focuses on a topic of national importance through interactive workshops. Past themes have included race, class, gender, power, and education. The goal is to create safe spaces for dialogue between campus community members who might not typically interact. The retreat is led by expert facilitators provided by Posse to help break down silos, facilitate connections and build institutional capacity for inclusive excellence. It is a chance to step away from our everyday lives and find space to connect.
The 2027 PossePlus Retreat Theme:
Defining A Generation
Every generation is shaped by the world it inherits and inhabits. And now it’s your turn. What defines your generation? What are the big political and cultural moments, events, movies, sounds, foods, and books that have shaped you? How have these influenced your values and helped to create the world you live in today? What will be the legacy of your generation?
The 2027 PossePlus Retreat Schedule
PossePlus Retreat takes place over three days, from Friday to Sunday, with activities facilitated by visiting staff from the Posse Foundation.
Whitman College students, faculty, and staff are invited to join Posse scholars for this time together to build community. See Schedule for the full retreat itinerary.
