The Department of Human Genetics Fall Retreat is an annual event that brings together faculty, students, fellows, and staff together for a program of scientific discussion and social interactions. The events include poster sessions, talks by trainees and faculty, and a keynote address from an invited speaker who is a leader in the field of human genetics. The retreat is generally held in the Fall over a 2 day period at an off-campus site. During their free time, attendees have an opportunity to informally gather and engage in a variety of activities, including hiking, team sports, and bonfires.
