Diversity

Our mission is to support our diverse postdoc community and help to foster an inclusive environment at Caltech and in STEM. We hope to provide training for postdocs to develop skills for being better and, therefore, more inclusive leaders in their future academic or non-academic careers. We work in coordination with CCID, the Staff, International Scholar Services, and Title IX Office to highlight diversity and inclusion within the postdoc community and provide support to all postdocs. Our programming is open to all members of the Caltech postdoc community regardless of race, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual identity, religion, and/or any other characteristic.


Some of our activities include: - Advocacy efforts - Book Club - Workshops: preparing for the Job Market, mental health, etc. - Arts & Cultural & Diversity events - Film Screenings and discussions on topics of diversity in STEM - LGBTQ+ and Allies Socials and Mixers, PRIDE celebration- Caltech postdocs pods and safe spaces - Organizing town halls
