Eleventh Symposium ~ July 10, 2015

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology
8:30am – 5:00pm

In 2015, the CVG held an off-campus retreat at the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology. This facility also houses part of the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates (CUMV), and Dr. Irby Lovetter led CUMV tours for our retreat participants. The Retreat also included a laptop poster session. Another important part of the retreat was to convene working groups charged with assessing the Center’s activities and future directions.
