Student Retreat
The Student Retreat is designed to strengthen the community atmosphere of the Programs. It is held on and away from campus and will include both science and non-science oriented activities. In this fashion, we feel we can build a stronger student community where students, including international students, will know each other on a first-namd basis and first-year students will have a support system to facilitate their entry into the MB and BC Graduate Programs and subsequent departments.

Windpower Campaign
For 2007-08 we aimed to make our Graduate Programs climate neutral by balancing CO2 emissions associated with the Program activities with donations to the Sustainable Energy Program. Thanks to contributions by students, faculty, and staff, the Molecular Biology, Biological Chemistry, Neuroscience, and MD/PhD Programs are now 100% climate neutral!
