[Grad-postdoc-assn] Fwd: National Postdoc Appreciation Week Events and Awards

[Paula Fisher]

Dear Postdocs,

The following activities at CU are open to NCAR Postdocs (not graduate
students).  The awards are only for CU postdocs and mentors.

We have had postdocs participate in the poster session in the past and they
found it to be a nice opportunity.
