The three day Bonner Meeting Planning Retreat agenda focused on determining why, when, what, and how to plan cohort-based meetings for the upcoming academic year. On day one, participants discussed the purpose and benefits of Bonner meetings, when meetings could be offered based on the academic calendar, and the program's vision for student engagement. Day two covered determining relevant meeting topics for each class year, including orientation topics for first-years. Day three focused on recruiting and preparing facilitators, including reviewing a training guide template and brainstorming potential facilitators. Participants worked in breakout rooms to discuss elements of the agenda, including populating a shared calendar and planning for retreats.
