In addition to the monthly Research In Progress series, TPG hosts two major events per year: the TPG Retreat and the TPG Symposium.
At the Retreat, which takes place in the fall, TPG senior students give short talks about their research. TPG students also gather in small groups with a mix of senior and junior students for community building and mentoring.
At the Symposium, which takes place in the spring, TPG senior students and invited speakers give talks about their research. The Symposium is open to and widely attended by the broader Yale community, as well as faculty and students associated with the TPG.
