The MPS Scholars Retreat is an exciting event held during Spring semester. Featuring insightful faculty and alumni panels, innovative research presentations, and fun activities across the division, this event is a chance for Scholars to learn about exciting developments within the Mathematical & Physical Sciences. It's also a lot of fun, and a chance to build community within both your department as well as the entire MPS division. In previous years, we've had:

  • TED-talk style research presentations from undergraduate and graduate students
  • Alumni panels featuring previous MPS graduates who have gone on to pursue graduate education, conduct research, work in industry, start their own companies, and everything in between
  • Stargazing using Astronomy's high-powered telescopes
  • Walking tours of fault lines and coastal areas
  • And more!
