Thank you, UNC postdocs, faculty, and staff for attending the BIPOC-Postdoc Alliance Unity Luncheon!
We are thankful to have diverse representatives from departments, centers, offices, and programs who support improving the postdoc experience at UNC Chapel Hill. 🙂
We look forward to our continued collaboration to foster an inclusive community while increasing interactions between represented and underrepresented populations in UNC Chapel Hill’s postdoc and professional communities.
We aim to work with the Asian American Center, Carolina’s Latinx Center, UNC American Indian Center, and the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black History and Culture to provide additional career advancement, professional development, and other key resources for postdocs to thrive while navigating their transition to their next position.
Happy Black Heritage Month, and continue to engage with all populations at UNC ❤️
