🎉 Celebrate National Postdoc Appreciation Week
September 15–19, 2025 🎉
National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) is back—and so is our chance to shine a spotlight on the incredible impact of postdoctoral scholars across research, discovery, and innovation.
From September 15–19, 2025, institutions nationwide will host events that celebrate the talent, dedication, and contributions of postdocs to academic life and beyond. At Lehigh, we’re planning a week full of opportunities to connect, reflect, and celebrate. Expect engaging workshops, networking events, sweet surprises, and new ways to showcase your work.
Faculty supervisors and colleagues—NPAW is the perfect time to recognize the postdocs in your lab or department. A simple thank-you can go a long way.
Stay tuned to your inbox for the full lineup!
