Dear Postdocs, 

In addition to several great workshops from our office, you have more opportunities this month to provide feedback on issues you care about! 

One is a forthcoming needs assessment survey from me, which is a chance for you to give me anonymous feedback on your postdoc experience. 

The second is a Rally for Fair Parking, to which anyone concerned about the new pay-for-parking proposal is encouraged to attend. They're expecting hundreds of staff, faculty, and students. 

Best,

Katy

The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs seeks your feedback on your postdoctoral experience so that we can make improvements and better serve you. Soon you'll be receiving an invitation to take a Postdoc Needs Assessment Survey, so please watch your email for the invitation directly from qualtrics.

The survey will take about 15 minutes and will ask anonymous questions about your experiences related to onboarding, housing, cost of living, career services, social programming, professional development needs, and more. 


So keep an eye out, as you should receive your link within the next week!
