To the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs
The mission of the Penn State Hershey Postdoctoral Society is to enhance the postdoctoral experience at Penn State Hershey by providing resources to assist postdoctoral fellows / scholars in their professional and personal development. Our aim is to provide information and support around career advancement, financial support, and child and family issues. We are also focused on representing postdoctoral causes to the university administration. In addition, we would like to facilitate social interaction between postdoctoral fellows / scholars at Penn State Hershey, towards the goal of building a community who can benefit from the exchange of knowledge and experience.
Primary goals of the Society include the following:
- To enhance the professional enrichment and development of postdoctoral fellows / scholars at Penn State Hershey.
- To foster social and professional interactions among postdoctoral fellows / scholars from across the university.
- To serve as a liaison between postdoctoral fellows / scholars and the Penn State Hershey administration to bring forth concerns regarding the overall work environment and climate that the postdoctoral fellows / scholars encounter.
- To assist in the collaboration of research policies to the benefit of postdoctoral fellows / scholars at Penn State Hershey.
- To create an inclusive work environment that provides all of our postdocs equal access to information, support, development and opportunity.
