PRIORITIES
In alignment with the mission of Student Life, the SOP priorities serve as a guidepost for every action.
FUN
The SOP welcomes all students to join substance-free, non-competative physical activities that encourage developing friendships and enjoyment of the beauty of the outdoors.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT
The SOP offers easy trips to introduce students who are new to the outdoors as well as more challenging trips that help students develop hard skills (such as climbing, backpacking and cycling). The range of experiences enables students to gain experience and confidence in exploring the outdoor world.
MENTORSHIP
The SOP mentors its student leaders in an encouraging atmosphere emphasizing teamwork and compassion. Mentoring includes guidance in planning trips, training in organizing and maintaining gear, and developing interpersonal skills for leadership.
