The Fall Welcome and Workshop will be held at noon in the Honors Scholars and Fellows (HSF) building, room 3009. If you are a new postdoctoral scholar on campus, this one hour "Welcome" will fulfill your requirement for orientation. This is a good venue to get your employment paperwork initiated, find your immediate research-related resources on campus, be introduced to the director of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, prepare for professional development opportunities on campus specifically geared to postdocs, learn about funding opportunities for your research or travel to conferences, and hear from our Postdoctoral Association (PDA) regarding opportunities for career-related events and leadership.
