This semester the Wisconsin Covenant LLC and the Community Leadership LLC got together and joined a group of over 200 students on the 2013 Leadership Retreat. This event is put on by the Center for Community-Based Learning, Leadership, and Research each year to help students grow and develop their leadership skills.
