CPIN faculty members actively participate in CPIN Research Day and high school outreach programs including Toronto Brain Bee and NeuroSci 101. 
CPIN faculty members are strongly encouraged to nominate potential speakers for the 2022-2023 Distinguished Lectureship Series. Because of physical distancing efforts due to COVID-19, online lecture options from international and local scientists are welcome. The nominations will be reviewed by the CPIN Academic/Executive Committees for approval.
