Annually, the CBB program organizes a student/faculty retreat planned by the students themselves. The retreat serves as a platform for students to not only build bonds but also share insights into their respective research projects and collaboratively brainstorm solutions to scientific challenges. In addition to showcasing research done by CBB members, students and faculty come together to participate in various fun activities. Attendance and active participation in the retreat are expected from all students, making it a valuable opportunity for both learning and socializing. All the scenes from the 2023 retreat can be found here.
