As students of the Honours College are recruited from various faculties, in order to help them form a cohort learning community, a full-day Retreat is organized every year for all Year 2 students (both newly admitted open admission sophomores and current sophomores). The retreat aims to create a friendly environment to facilitate students’ self-awareness of personal style, explore their leadership potential and develop their HC membership identity through a series of tailor-made team building and group learning activities, with the following objectives:
1. Stretch students’ leadership potential,
2. Develop students’ HC membership identity,
3. Deepen rapport with classmates,
4. Uplift students’ confidence and ability to take up challenges,
5. Strengthen students’ ability in negotiation, understanding and creativity
