Retreat provides networking opportunity for graduate students, faculty
Poster sessions kick off the 6th annual Faculty and Student Research Retreat.
First-year graduate students got a taste of the research going on at Penn State College of Medicine during the Faculty and Student Research Retreat Aug. 6 at the Antique Auto Museum in Hershey.
They were able to meet prospective thesis advisers and see examples of the kinds of projects in which they might take part.
Faculty members had the opportunity to learn about the work of their peers and identify potential collaborations.
