Upcoming OPA events:   

1. Career Management workshop : last week of April.  The OPA places on the calendar below, information it receives on professional development events at Northwestern.  Postdoctoral fellows are strongly encouraged to create and develop Individual Development Plans (IDP) and the OPA presents a career management workshop every month to help postdoctoral fellows better understand how to develop and effectively use IDP's.  The OPA calendar is intended to serve as another resource to help postdoctoral fellows 'pick and choose' from the variety of event offerings at the University.

2.Technology transfer to Patent Law: explore these career paths.  Being planned for early May 2009.

As most events require participants to register and have a cap on the total numbers that can participate, it is advantageous to learn early about an upcoming event that meets your IDP needs and register for it. If you have or create a Gmail account, you can add the calendar to your personal settings by searching public calendars for "Northwestern OPA professional development"

Outside of departmental events, events offered by the following offices are generally open to postdoctoral fellows:
University Career Services, Counseling and Psychological Services, University Library, Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, Women’s Center, Searle Center for Teaching Excellence
