The Postdoc Office turns “2”
When the Postdoc Office was established two years ago, we had three goals: To establish communication, to provide professional development and to develop community among ASU postdocs.
It has been tremendously rewarding to see the friendships that have formed, the collaborations that have taken place and your appreciation.
For those of you who haven’t attended any of our events, come out and see us! We want to meet you and we encourage you to take advantage of what the office has to offer.
