UCI MSTP holds an annual retreat for all MSTP students, faculty, and select guest speakers. The event gives students the opportunity to present their research to their classmates and faculty. In addition, this mandatory event gives older MSTP students an opportunity to meet younger MSTP students and vice versa. There is also plenty fo time for everyone to relax and mingle. In the past, this all inclusive event has been held in Palm Springs and UCLA Lake Arrowhead Conference Center.
