Each year, faculty, postdocs and graduate students attend a 2-day retreat that is held at the Stanford Sierra Conference Center at Fallen Leaf Lake, just north of South Lake Tahoe or the Marconi Conference Center off Highway 1 near Point Reyes. The 2008 retreat was held at the Marconi Conference Center and the 2009 retreat will be held at the Granlibakken Conference Center & Lodge in North Lake Tahoe. The retreat is sponsored by the Neuroscience Graduate Program and organized by the graduate students and all students have the opportunity to present 10-15 minute research talks. In addition, the students also select and invite a neuroscientist from another University as a keynote speaker for the retreat. A highlight of the weekend is the banquet and party, which usually features games and trivia.
