Join us on the second Wednesday of every month (see orientation dates below) from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM for the New Postdoctoral Scholar Welcome. Please note that the orientation is mandatory for all new postdoctoral scholars. Postdocs who have already attended an orientation do not need to attend.
If you cannot attend this orientation, please complete this form to schedule a make-up time for your mandatory union orientation.
The orientation will include presentations about postdoctoral appointments and policy, campus resources and Q&A. Postdoc representatives from the postdoc union (UAW Local 5810) will answer questions about the postdoctoral contract and union membership.
