Response are anonymous!
The estimated time commitment for completing the survey is 5-10 min, and responses will be collected until Friday, June 2nd.
Why is this survey important?
In 2021 the MSU Postdoctoral Association (MSU-PDA) surveyed MSU postdocs to get feedback and suggestions regarding our communications and programming. The responses to these surveys were invaluable, and have helped guide our focus and efforts across the years. This included instituting our weekly update email, offering new event formats, and advocating for the establishment of an Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (MSU-OPA).

Through self-reflection and group activities, participants in this workshop series will explore issues of power, oppression, and privilege. Participants will raise their self-awareness about social identities, identify systems of inequity and oppression, and learn a framework for cultural competency development. These concepts will be applied toward personal and organizational change, with a focus on work at MSU.
Participants are expected to attend all four sessions, which require active engagement in small and large group activities, as well as short homework reflections. Please do not sign up if you have work or other commitments that conflict with any of the sessions in the series.
The College of Natural Science is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs, services, and activities. Accommodations may be requested by contacting NatSci.DEI@msu.edu.
