Every year members of the CMP program travel to an off-campus site for a retreat. Past locations include the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, the Cape Codder Resort and Sea Crest Resort in Falmouth. Last year's retreat was held at the newly opened Agnes Varis Center on the campus of the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Grafton, MA.
The retreat provides time for scientific presentations, poster sessions and social activities. Recent student-invited guest speakers have given talks on the physiology of running, the philosophy of biology and tuberculosis in Nepalese elephant populations. Social activities include beach volleyball, softball, mock game shows and a student skit that traditionally highlights the foibles of the faculty.
