Call for Award Nominations: Outstanding Postdocs & Outstanding Mentors
Postdocs and their mentors are the engines of the CU Boulder research enterprise, and the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) will again be recognizing Outstanding Postdocs and Outstanding Postdoc Mentors during National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW), September 18-22.

Call for Mentors: Peer Mentoring Program
Postdocs are needed who have been at CU Boulder for at least one year and are interested in developing leadership, communication and confidence skills—all beneficial when seeking jobs. To facilitate the first mentor-mentee meeting, OPA will offer a complimentary meal card that can be used at a variety of campus locations. OPA also has mentor training resources to reference.
