MBP Retreat
The Department is happy to announce that we will return to hosting an in-person MBP Retreat from Monday, September 19 to Wednesday, September 21, 2022.
Previously, the Retreat was hosted at Geneva Park, near Orillia. Unfortunately, this venue is unavailable this year, so we will be holding the event at Campfire Circle Muskoka. This new venue is located on a beautiful site in the heart of the Muskoka’s, approximately 2.5 h North of Toronto. The Department will be providing buses to and from the event. There is a slide show at the bottom of the Campfire Circle webpage that showcases the venue and amenities.
The event program will be shared shortly, but it will be similar to past in-person retreats, featuring talks from MBP Faculty and students, social activities, a rotations market for incoming students to engage with recruiting MBP Faculty, and more.
More information is available below.
