Each Fall the OPA hosts a Research Symposium to highlight postdoctoral achievement with a keynote speaker geared toward supporting postdoc success. The event involves members of the OSU community that are welcome to attend an all postdoc poster session. The Research Symposium is a great networking and scientific communication opportunity please contact the OPA if you are interested in helping plan the symposium or have keynote speaker suggestions. From 2022, OSU collaborated with other institutions in the state of Oregon and initiated multi-institutional Postdoctoral Research Symposium.
