| IN BRIEF: A message from the Outgoing JHPDA Officers – The Academic Year in Review
[Full message] | We have been honored to serve as your JHPDA Officers over the past year. We've had an amazing year of programming, which started in September with two weeks of events, discounts, and swag in honor of National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW). Building from that start, our fabulous Committees have hosted over 60 events - including professional development, networking, social, and internationally-themed events on and off campus. |
We emphasize that none of this year's accomplishments would have been possible without the hard work of all Executive Board members - but more notably the Committee Chairs and their members. It has been a pleasure serving the postdoctoral community. Congratulations to the new 2015-2016 JHPDA Executive Board! We're looking forward to your continued service to the Hopkins postdoctoral community and are confident that the organization is in good hands. Corinne Pettigrew, Casey Rebholz, Pankhuri Vyas, Blythe Shepard, and Jeff Norris.
