Despite the snow, we are still planning for our annual PROMISE Community Building Retreat February 26-28 for graduate students. As promised, the application is now online here. We have 100 slots. Interested faculty and staff are invited to attend as well. To continue our tradition, the 2010 Community Building Retreat will again set aside 15 of the 100 slots for the Dissertation House component. The application materials for the Dissertation House are included in the overall application for the retreat. More information about the Dissertation House can be found on the Web site. Updates can be accessed on the retreat’s Web site, the Facebook event site and through the PROMISE Twitter site.
To view photos and videos from the 2009 Community Building Retreat at Rocky Gap, visit the PROMISE blog and page down to the early entries from February and March 2009. This blog will be updated with details from the 2010 retreat.
