The CMB Program sponsors a one-day retreat for all students and faculty usually in August.  The Retreat takes place at the Grand Isle Lake House, about 40 minutes north of Burlington on one of the islands of Lake Champlain.  The Lake House is an old Victorian style guest house situated on a strikingly beautiful location overlooking Lake Champlain to the south, with the Green Mountains to the west and the Adirondack Mountains of New York State to the east.  This location was picked intentionally to get everyone off campus for the day and free them from other meetings.  It is a popular venue for exchanging ideas and simply socializing. 

The CMB retreat was redesigned in 2007 from providing the function of an overview to first year students to include specific information for all CMB faculty and students. The Retreat provides an opportunity for everyone to learn more about the research going on in the CMB community by listening to selected UVM speakers and joining in the group discussions.

The 2008 Retreat was held on Thursday, August 21 at the Grand Isle Lake House. Rong Li, PhD from the Stowers Institute gave the keynote address.
