We will be providing charter buses to transport us to/from the retreat site. On the first day of the retreat, we’ll have 3 buses leaving HMS at 8am and one late bus that will depart HMS at 12:30pm. For the return trip, three charter buses will depart NH at 9:30am, getting us back to the HMS campus by 12:30pm on Friday.

Everyone will be paired up, with the exception of faculty, keynote speakers, and nursing mothers.

Trainee Session (hosted by the BCMP Trainee Committee): Join us for an informal presentation and discussion with Keynote Speaker Dr. Lorna Gibson (faculty at MIT Dept of Engineering and Material Science) about her career path, her perspective on being a woman faculty member at MIT with Nancy Hopkins during the MIT Report on the Status of Women Faculty in Science, and her thoughts on the progress of efforts to address gender inequities and bias in academia. More broadly, she is a passionate educator and cares deeply about mentorship, and this session will be a wonderful opportunity to learn about her unique journey and advice for the next generation. This session will be held during the first hour of leisure time, on Day 2 of the retreat. Space is limited so please sign up in order to hold a spot.
