Career events in January, including "IAP"

[Dana Bresee Keeth]

Dear MIT Postdocs,

This is an eventful time of year, with much happening now and at the 
start of the new year. We wanted to give you a quick look ahead at 
January, and hope you can carve out time for your professional development.

(1) MIT's Independent Activity Period (IAP) will run from Jan. 4 - Jan 
29, 2016.
Many classes and activities meet for one hour and are free.  See details 
at *http://web.mit.edu/iap/
*You could check the listing by category 
http://student.mit.edu/iap/nctoc.html

The topics are endless, including engineering, skill development 
(presentations, teaching, communication, leadership, research), patents, 
start-ups, data management, figure skating, dancing, music, and much 
more. Some sessions require pre-registration.

(2) MIT's Office of Global Education and Career Services has many 
sessions on its January calendar - see 
http://gecd.mit.edu/mit-events?month=2016-01
and http://gecd.mit.edu/career/postdoc
The sessions are cross-listed in the IAP catalog.

(4) MIT's Writing and Communication Center - postdocs may schedule 
one-on-one appointments. See 
http://cmsw.mit.edu/writing-and-communication-center/
and get set up to use their online scheduler.

Best wishes for a happy holiday season and new year.

Regards,

Dana
