The Office of University Postdoctoral Affairs (OUPA) hosts a quarterly postdoc welcome event and academic orientation. The event is a great chance to meet other postdocs new to Brown and the OUPA staff. It will include a presentation from OUPA director Audra Van Wart about planning a successful postdoc, plus an overview of resources available to postdocs at Brown. Postdocs will receive an email invitation after beginning their appointment at Brown. These events are typically held in August, November, February, and May.
