The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) is pleased to announce the ninth annual celebration of National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW): September 17-21, 2018!

National Postdoc Appreciation Day/Week recognizes the significant contributions that postdoctoral scholars make to U.S. research and discovery. Institutions from across the country and other parts of the world participate by holding special events. In 2010, this week was officially recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives. Events will be held throughout the week and across the country to create awareness.

The CWRU Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, CWRU Postdoctoral Association, and the Graduate Studies Professional Development Center have planned some great events to show our appreciation for CWRU postdocs.  Join us for events throughout the week!
