    These are meant to help with ETD-specific formatting.

    What's the difference between Workshops

    - ETD Formatting Workshops (weekly) cover formatting guidelines and last approximately 1.5 hours. Drop in for help with document formatting.

    - ETD Process Workshop occurs once a semester and covers all aspects of the process from Registration to Review. 

    - Book a 1-on-1 Help Session with an ETD Specialist, these are only 15-minutes and can cover the ETD process including document assistance if needed. Bring focused questions.

  • National Postdoc Association SmartSkills

    Monthly

    NPA Smartskills have recurring sessions every 4th Tuesday of the month at 3PM.

    Upcoming Sessions

    Many postdocs wonder about the pathway into industry without ways to learn the truth about the journey.

    Join leaders from industry as they share their thoughts on the current industry postdoc landscape, discuss misconceptions about postdocs and careers in industry, clarify differences between industry and academic postdocs and positions, offer recommendations to postdocs seeking to enter industry positions, and provide insights on future trends that may affect postdocs in industry.
    This is intended as a collaborative discussion so bring your questions!
