The University of New Orleans' Transfer Retreat for Leadership, or TRL, is an overnight retreat just for students who are transferring into the university. This leadership retreat is collaboratively planned through the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of Admissions.

As a transfer student, you bring unique experiences that enrich the UNO community. You have academic experience and while college isn't new to you, you are changing environments—and that can be both exciting and challenging! At this Leadership Retreat, just for transfer students, participants will connect with and begin to develop relationships with their classmates—some of which will hopefully grow into life-long friendships. During the Transfer Retreat for Leadership, participants will learn about the wide range of involvement activities and resources that the university offers. Most importantly, transfer students will learn key strategies on how to enhance their leadership skills and successfully transition into the university. Furthermore, TRL will provide structured guidance and mentorship in an effort to help smooth students transfer into UNO community.

Whether you have joined us from a community college or another four-year institution, you live in the residence halls or away from campus, we are excited you are here and eager to help you settle into your new community. The Transfer Retreat for Leadership is yet another way that the University of New Orleans will aid you in reaching your potential as a new privateer!
