On November 19, the CEE Postdoctoral Committee hosted the first in a series of networking dinners for CEE postdoctoral scholars and faculty, aimed at expanding their professional networks, helping their career development, and exchanging ideas and experiences. This initiative is in response to feedback from a postdoctoral survey where 75% of the respondents expressed interest in help with networking. The first networking dinner was very well received and will be repeated on a quarterly basis.  Other events in response to the survey include a career development event in the spring of 2015, regular town hall meetings with the Department Head and active participation in the research speed-dating event to be held in February 2015.
