Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? Thought I was the only one." ~ C.S. Lewis

Oh my gosh, YOU TOO? was a program that the Women's Center developed that brings together first-year and upper class St. Norbert College women for a two-day retreat. Participants spent a weekend away from campus making connections, building community, creating lasting friendships, and simply enjoying time together at Green Lake Conference Center in south central Wisconsin. Since our friendships shape multiple aspects of our lives, this was a time to establish positive new relationships and examine what being a friend truly means. Included during the retreat: Hikes, journals, service, bonfire, awesome food, meeting other phenomenal women, and much, much more!

The excitement doesn't (and didn't) end when the retreat is over and the students were back at St. Norbert. The Women's Center provides opportunities to reunite with your new friends throughout the rest of the semester. Follow-up sessions invite participants and other members of the St. Norbert community to explore other things about campus life and/or being a woman! Session topics may include: body image, healthy living, maintaining friendships, discovering and defining who you are as a woman, discussion on feminism, and anything else you would like to learn.

The Oh my gosh, YOU TOO? was a perfect opportunity to meet fabulous, friendly, and phenomenal women at St. Norbert College. It is a chance to get off of campus, out of your dorm, and be in a relaxed atmosphere with a group of great new women friends.  Since the retreat was such success, the Women's Center plans to host another for the fall semester. 

Dates: Fall 2010
