The annual volleyball game where the first year MCO graduate students play against the MCB faculty is a beloved tradition at the annual Research Retreat. This year, the game was rained out during the retreat but rescheduled for September 27 on the volleyball court in front of BioLabs.
The match provides an opportunity for the incoming MCO graduate students to meet other members of the community as well as show off their athleticism.
At Friday’s game, the faculty emerged victorious after two matches, with the faculty winning both. After the official matches, the two teams mixed for a friendly freestyle play. A challenge to a rematch could be on the horizon, where the MCO students will be less deferential to the faculty.
MCB faculty (l to r) Craig Hunter, Florian Engert, Nao Uchida, Sean Eddy, Kazuki Nagashima, Doeke Hekstra, Rachelle Gaudet, and Ryan Nett
