The BPA Committee for Social Events organizes the following events throughout the year:
Happy Hour
Join us to meet other Postdocs from departments across campus and make some new connections. The Happy Hour will be on the first Thursday of each month. Please register to join any part even if you can't stay the whole time!
Language Exchange
Join us to practice a new language or just speak in your native language (i.e., this includes English)! We will meet on campus to practice different languages in small (4-5 people) groups. We encourage you to register and join any part even if you can't stay the whole time!
The rules are simple:
- Have fun!
- Practice your beloved language with native speakers and language lovers!
- Don't be afraid to make mistakes!
- Meet new people and get to know their cultures.
The Language Exchange is held on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. In addition, BPA provides a database for Language Tandems (in collab with the Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association, BLPA).
Filmc?ub
A film club with a question mark – makes you think, doesn’t it? Or is it simply pretentious? The Filmc?ub will be on the third Thursday of each month. Please register and join any part even if you can't stay the whole time!
Holiday Party
Every December, the BPA holiday party promises even more great food, drinks, video projections, music and dancing!
Postdocfest
Every September in recognition of the National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW), the BPA and VSPA hold an awesome postdocfest event at the UC campus, with great food, drinks, entertainment, and lots of fun!
