WHAT IS THE QUO VADIS RETREAT?

Quo Vadis means “where are you going?” The annual Quo Vadis Retreat offers St. Olaf sophomores a unique opportunity to step away from campus to reflect on where you have been, who you are, and where you are going within a supportive mentoring community. It will include short talks from students, staff and faculty; small group conversation facilitated by student leaders; interaction with young alumni and time for personal reflection.
