Diversity Calendar Page Updated for Fall 2025
Our Diversity Calendar page has been updated with 2025 events happening this Fall! The Calendar page has national conferences and workshops that may be of interest to current & future diverse postdocs (and their allies). Unique features are 1) a map localizing all the higher education diversity events in the nation and 2) a sortable table database with logistical information and links to event webpages. See our Events page for the conference list of where our organization plans to have a presence. For our advertising clients, we distribute their job/opportunity flyers during the event (contact us for details and rates).
DivSch24 Conference Success!
Our 2024 DiverseScholar Postdoctoral Conference (#DivSch24) was a success! Around 30 PhD trainees with 15 speakers, facilitators, and staff participated in our September 6-7 event in Orange County, CA. This seventh conference had professional development sessions, research presentations, and opportunities for recruiting. All activities support our membership in their postdoctoral and professional career exploration especially to diversify academia. We thank sponsors National Institutes of Health, Virginia Tech, and Stanford University.
