.:IBiS Graduate Program :: Program :: Autumn Retreat/Orientation:.

PROGRAM: An important hallmark of the IBiS program is that our faculty are deeply committed to helping students prepare for the career options that await them.

The annual IBiS retreat is held over two days in September at a retreat center near beautiful Lake Geneva, WI. The retreat features a fun mix of science and social activities and serves many purposes. For the incoming students, it provides a wonderful introduction to the other students, the faculty, and the exciting research opportunities in the IBiS program. For the continuing students, the retreat fosters inter-lab and interdisciplinary connections between students and faculty who don't normally interact. The retreat also provides the continuing graduate students an opportunity to present and discuss their work with their peers. The retreat is an enjoyable and productive experience for everyone.

The retreat is normally scheduled for the first Thursday and Friday after Labor Day. However, in 2007 the retreat will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 5 & 6.
