Workshops & Summer Programs


Alumni Workshop


Our final program each summer is a multi-day workshop exclusively for alumni of other CIBT programs. Past topics have included Advanced Molecular Biology, Marine Biology, and Forensics.

This year's theme for the alumni workshop is Microbiology. We will partner with two Cornell faculty who are very involved in microbiology research and teaching. The workshop will be the usual combination of lectures and lab and field activities. We will expect that you will incorporate some of the summer's information into your classroom for the next year.

The deadline for application was May 31, 2006.
