Annual IPN Retreat (2008)

Click the blue links for more info

Beginning in 2005, the IPN instituted an annual retreat held each fall at Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia, about 45 minutes south of Georgetown (directions).  We have Camp Orenda each year.   This is cabin camping with running water, real bathrooms, and real beds!

The purposes of the retreat include sharing the latest in research projects ongoing in the Program, providing a forum for improving all aspects of the Program, and building camaraderie between the faculty and students.   The Fourth Annual IPN Retreat will take place on September 4th through 6th, 2008.   We are working to make this one just as successful as all the rest  -  when a good time was had by all and lots of good science was discussed!
