Upcoming Education and Training Program Dates:

Online sessions are held in CLIR's AdobeConnect classroom once per month during the academic year, in months during which there is no other required program meeting. Information about each session is posted approximately one week in advance on the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program community group discussion board. Current fellows are required to attend these sessions. Past fellows, current and past supervisors, and fellows' invited guests are also welcome. Current or past fellows may request use of the classroom at other times during the year for additional meetings or sessions by writing to Program Officer Christa Williford.
