Department Retreat

• The Department of Immunology pays for lodging and food/beverages.
• Carpooling is the norm, as travel expenses (mileage, gas, etc.) are not reimbursed.

Event Registration
Advance registration is required.  Registration information is sent out in June.  The registration deadline is in early August.  Registration priority is given to Immunology faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as to graduate students in other programs who are doing research in Immunology labs and to new MCB graduate students who are rotating in Immunology labs.  Immunology Graduate Students are required to attend the retreat, as are other graduate students in Immunology labs.

Poster Presentations
All graduate students and postdocs are highly encouraged to present a poster at the Retreat.  Graduate students in and beyond their third year are expected to present a poster.

The Call for Abstracts will be sent out in June each year.  The Retreat Planning Committee reviews all abstracts to determine which poster presenters are invited to give an oral presentation in one of the retreat workshops.  Workshop presenters will be announced in early August.

Prizes for Posters 
The Sandra Clark Education Fund provides the monetary prizes for the Best Poster by a Graduate Student and Postdoc.  Monetary prizes are to be used for scholarly endeavors.
