CAMM Events

Research events, weekly meetings, training opportunities, outreach activities, and signature programs.

CAMM events bring together students, researchers, educators, community partners, and collaborators through recurring meetings, summer programs, outreach activities, professional development opportunities, and signature events.

About CAMM Events

Events support research community, student training, outreach, and collaboration.

Weekly research and community events

Weekly CAMM events help trainees and researchers stay connected across research groups, build presentation skills, and share developing research ideas.

IRG meetings provide opportunities for students to present unfinished results, practice oral presentations, and receive feedback from peers and mentors.
