In addition, this Committee plans and organizes the annual UCSC Retreat, which is typically held in August for new, current, and departing members. The retreat is a large-scale event requiring teamwork to organize the event, which may include preparing the agenda, securing the venue, planning meals, and putting together packet materials.
