2024 Neurosciences Department Retreat

We are excited to announce that our annual departmental retreat will take place at The Lodge & Conference Center at Geneva-on-the-Lake. The Lodge is situated next to Geneva State Park and is about one hour away from the CWRU campus.

The retreat will be held over two days and one night. It will begin with a welcome breakfast on Wednesday morning (August 14) and will conclude after lunch on Thursday (August 15).

All departmental faculty, staff, postdocs, graduate students, undergraduate students, and trainers are invited to attend. In addition, all first-year students (BSTP or MSTP) who have indicated an interest in neuroscience are also invited. 

There is no fee to attend the retreat but registration is required.
