¶¶ÒõÂþ»­ is launching a transformative summer experience designed to empower the next generation of changemakers. The ¶¶ÒõÂþ»­ Summer Entrepreneurship Retreat for high school-aged young women will be held June 23–27, 2025, on ¶¶ÒõÂþ»­’s campus. 

Targeted to young women entering their junior or senior year of high school, the daytime retreat combines entrepreneurial skill-building with self-reflection, leadership development, and well-being practices. 

“Entrepreneurship is about more than starting a business — it’s about seeing the world differently and acting with intention,” said Heather McDougall, ¶¶ÒõÂþ»­’s director for entrepreneurship and one of the retreat’s lead facilitators. “This retreat is a launchpad for young women to understand themselves, connect with others, and gain the tools to lead with confidence and make a meaningful impact on the world.”
