Sean Mackey
I have seen myself and many others being confronted with overwhelming rent, childcare, and health insurance expenses. As shocking as it is, the more it drives my advocacy efforts to ensure postdoc voices influence institutional policies. As SURPAS core member, I’m spearheading family-friendly initiatives, fostering work-life balance and an inclusive and supportive environment for postdocs and their families. As a first-generation student, I am passionate about promoting feelings of belonging in underrepresented students through various Stanford and community college programs. While still being far away from where we'd like to be, it's crucial to keep working on getting there, step-by-step.
