Exclusively for postdocs! Join Rachelle Swan, Director of Postdoctoral Affairs, and a few of your postdoc peers for an hour-long “Coffee Chat”! Rachelle wants to hear about your experiences at Purdue and offer resources tailored to your needs. She is happy to answer any questions about Purdue’s resources or policies for postdocs, and if she doesn’t have an answer, she will follow up with one!

Rachelle will send you a calendar invite at the beginning of the week and ask for your favorite Starbucks beverage. Then she will meet you in OGSPS’s conference room in the basement of Young Hall (B-64) with your drink at NOON!

Registration is limited to 6 people per session, and please limit your sign-ups to once per semester to give everyone an opportunity.

If you are a graduate student interested in a postdoc position, this Postdoc Coffee Chat is not for you. Instead, please email [email protected]and introduce yourself! Someone will get back with you with guidance 😊
