1. Postdoc Needs Assessment Survey -- Watch your email!
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!

2. Rally for Fair Parking, Mar 29, 11:30am
You may recall the information I shared in the last update about a new proposal to charge a fee for all parking at Stony Brook. A number of postdocs have expressed concerns about this proposed new expense.
Anyone who wants to advocate for a better parking solution is invited to next week's Rally for Fair Parking. Seven unions of students, faculty, staff will be there, along with anyone concerned about this proposal.
