Advocacy Committee

What do we do?

The Advocacy Committee advocates for improved postdoc benefits and policies to administration and the university community. The committee works to identify areas of need for Penn postdocs by conducting surveys and town halls, and through collection of public testimony. For a summary of our recent initiatives, please see pennpostdocs.com/advocacy.

How can you get involved?

Email the Advocacy Committee chair with any great ideas you have or to find out more about what you can do to get more involved! Now is a particularly great time to get involved as this committee currently has an open call for all member roles.
