A day away from campus to focus on building bridges with colleagues across Vanderbilt.
The Edge for Scholars Retreat offers early career researchers and their mentors an energizing mix of talks and breakout sessions focused on building bridges with peers, mentors, and new colleagues.
After a delicious camp lunch and good conversation, spend an afternoon creating shared connections with traditional camp activities including kayaking, rock climbing, beach and water slides.
Dress casual and bring your sense of adventure (and a change of clothes).
