Events

The PDA is committed to holding events that are interesting for most postdocs on campus. These include career and professional development events and social events.

If you have an idea for a new event, or feedback for a recent event, please contact us. The PDA board will take your comments into consideration to make future events better for all postdocs who attend.

Most of our events are now organized using Meetup. Please create an account and join our group if you wish to stay informed on our future events.
