Dr. Morell was the director of the Neuroscience Curriculum (formerly Neurobiology Curriculum) from 1978-1988 and was integral to the growth and prestige the program has achieved. The Pierre Morell Neuroscience Research Retreat is an entirely student run event that allows all current students in the Neuroscience Curriculum to showcase their most recent work. PMNR includes a one-night stay at The Summit Center at Haw River State Park, various seminars, lunch and dinner, a poster session, fun activities, cocktail hour and student, postdoctoral, and faculty speakers. The Pierre Morell Neuroscience Research Retreat is organized by the Neuroscience Executive Committee (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neuroscience\/curriculum\/committees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more information on committees<\/a>).
