About the series
You're juggling a lot - your research, your career development, AND trying to build a community for postdocs on your campus. The PDA Leadership Series is here to support you, with less stress and more success.
This four-part series gives you practical tools you can use immediately - no fluff, just tried and true strategies that work for real PDA challenges. Whether you're struggling to get volunteers to follow through, wondering how to communicate your PDA's value to administrators, or just want to connect with others who get what you're dealing with, this series covers it all.
Here's what you'll get:
✓ Concrete strategies for motivating volunteers (even the ones who ghost you)
✓ Communication tools that actually help you reach more postdocs
✓ Real talk with other PDA leaders facing the same challenges
✓ A network of peers you can reach out to when you need advice
✓ Skills that'll strengthen your CV or resume for your next position
This event counts toward the Postdoctoral Professional Development Certificate (*CP)
