National Postdoc Appreciation Week
MUPA celebrates National Postdoctoral Appreciation Week (NPAW) with a weeklong series of professional development and social events. Since 2009, the National Postdoctoral Association has organized National Postdoc Appreciation Week to recognize the significant contributions postdoctoral scholars make to U.S. research and innovation. In 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives officially recognized the week starting from the third Monday in September as the National Postdoc Appreciation Week.
