Advocacy Committee

The Social Committee is looking for members! Please Contact Us if you can spare a few hours a month to help.

We try and focus on events that don’t take much organization as we are all busy postdocs.

Some things that would help us out:

1) Someone to book a table for pub night, be there at the right time to grab the table.

2) People to hold tables for Meandering Meals and be on time with a small sign.

3) Volunteers to post flyers for social events.

4) Beach Volleyball organizer.

5) People with ideas as to how to get postdocs to interact!

Advocacy Committee

Current Members:
Aditi Joshi - Chair
Elizabeth Marlow
Christian Abraham
Dimitrios Vatakis

The Advocacy Committee exists to identify and address problems and concerns of postdocs that should be brought to the attention of university administration. Typical problems most postdocs encounter are insufficient salary, housing problems, lack of childcare options, deficient mentoring, and visa troubles. The committee will provide information about policies in UCLA, concerned officials and a forum to share your experiences. By contacting committee members directly, or posting to the forum, postdocs can bring problems to the committee's attention.

The committee is always seeking new members. We typically meet no more than once a month over lunch to discuss any new issues and brainstorm potential solutions. If you are interested in joining this committee, email Aditi: aditi.draditi at gmail dot com Read more »
