THE NIH FELLOWS COMMITTEE

Social Subcommittee

The Social subcommittee is responsible for promoting the social interaction of NIH fellows. These include three categories of events:

1. FelCom Friday — monthly happy hours at local bars or restaurants usually held on the first Friday of each month. FelCom Fridays generally start at 5:30 p.m. and are open to all NIH fellows, other fellows, co-workers, friends, and family. Flyers are distributed by email on Fellow-L and individual IC email lists the week before the event. Balloons are usually brought to the happy hour to mark the FelCom gathering.
2. Annual Fellows Social — This annual party is usually held in the fall on a Friday night at the FAES house. It is open to all NIH fellows, other fellows, faculty, co- workers, friends, and family. A minimal admission fee is typically charged to cover expenses.
3. Other social activities — The social subcommittee also organizes other activities at various times throughout the year. Past events have included Ten-Pin Bowling Night. We are always open to suggestions from fellows!
