Student leaders, formators,
and the Office of Student Affairs came together for a two-and a half-day Ignatian
Leadership Camp at Harmony Village in Pitogo last July 28-30, 2017.
Dubbed as Synergy:
The Ateneo Leadership Camp 2017, participants of this event were Presidents of
accredited student organizations in the university. It also had some alumni of
the Ateneo Student Leaders Assembly (ASLA) as guest participants.
The camp started
with a session entitled My Principle Leadership and Foundation. It targeted to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of the students in their capacity as student
leaders. It was followed by a string of activities aimed at improving and
strengthening group dynamics and inter-organization “synergy”, as it was aptly
themed.
Brother EdRyan Paul
Colmenares, SJ ran the program. A group of faculty, staff, and student
facilitators assisted him during break-out sessions and small group discussions.
The camp ended with
the celebration of the Holy Eucharist presided over by University President Fr
Karel S San Juan SJ.
Office of Student
Affairs Director Christine V Calunod says about the activity, “We hope that this camp will bring about
more participation from the student body; an involvement that goes beyond being
socially responsive and a conscious and active effort of collaborating with one
another in achieving the goal of serving the community.”
