Dear Group,
Over the next week or so, I'm going to clean up the Group mailing list to
reflect only current group members and affiliates. Former group members
will be removed from the list unless I hear otherwise.
Additionally, I will be doing the same with our shared calendars. If you do
not have access to them now, please let me know. As far as I know, we have
3: AAG, ABS, AGG-public.
Lastly, if you are a new or fairly new postdoc, please read the following
message regarding the New Postdoc Orientation. Remember to RSVP by Monday
(15 Sep).
Best,
Anna

Hello all,
I've already forwarded this announcement to the postdoc mailing list, but
you may also want to encourage new postdocs in your groups to attend this
orientation.
Best,
Joe
An orientation program for new postdoctoral fellows at Harvard will be held
from 11:00am-1:30pm, on Wednesday, September 17.
This program will provide information about navigating a variety of offices
and services at Harvard that serve postdoctoral fellows, with brief
presentations given by specialists on topics such as professional
development, benefits, work/life issues, international issues, ombuds
services, sponsored research, and research-related resources. New postdocs
from all Harvard Schools and research units are encouraged to attend the
morning session and lunch (11:00am-12:30pm), which highlight institutional
services; the after-lunch session is designed for international postdocs,
but is open to all postdocs who may value viewing this presentation as well.
Longwood postdocs (HMS quad and HSPH) certainly may attend, but also should
contact their postdoctoral services units for school-specific information
and sessions. In addition, the orientation will be most valuable to postdocs
who have arrived in August or later; however, all interested postdocs are
invited.
New postdocs interested in attending should contact Taryn Sullivan
(taryn_sullivan(a)harvard.edu)
in the Office for Postdoctoral Affairs to RSVP. Seating is limited, on a
first-RSVP, first-served basis. *Please RSVP by Monday, September 15, 2008.

We are pleased to again offer this comprehensive orientation program for
Harvard postdocs. I would appreciate very much if you would share this
information with your postdocs and encourage them to RSVP and attend. A
confirmation notice with the location will be sent directly to those
postdoctoral fellows who RSVP.
Please let me know if you have any questions. More information about offices
and services for postdocs may be found on the Harvard Postdoctoral Affairs
website, *

Many thanks for your help spreading the word,
Yours truly--Greg Llacer.
