Would you consider writing a letter of support for the students and staff you know attending the Encounter with Christ Retreat? A crucial aspect of this retreat is the tradition of giving retreat-goers surprise palanca. Palanca are unexpected expressions of appreciation and support that lift someone’s spirits; they usually take the form of a brief note or letter. This is an opportunity to encourage students and express appreciation for them outside the classroom.
An in-person palanca writing event will be taking place Monday, March 10 from 6-8 p.m. at the Alumni House.
A full list of student names attending the retreat and information on how to submit a palanca can be found here.
