March 25 – 26, 2021
The goal of this virtual conference is to create a regional action network on environmental justice by bringing together Purdue researchers, artists, scholars and stakeholders, and including peers working at research institutions across
the state. Through the conference, Purdue will bring diverse scholars and leaders together to broaden the conversation on environmental justice with a focus Indiana and the Midwest by inviting researchers in areas including environmental sciences, racial &

Birck Storage Building
Guidelines have been developed for use of the new storage building located near Mark’s office on the SW side of Birck. Presently it is being used for contact-less package deliveries, but there remains a large space available for storage of key items needed
for research but not used on a daily basis. Mark and the team have developed the attached short guidelines document for use of the storage building. It describes sectioning off of the space and prescribes the type of storage rack systems that have been approved
for holding general items. The racks also allow pallets to be rolled under the them and in the future we can expand to a roll-around stairway to store lighter items higher on the shelves.
Please review the attached guidelines document and contact Mary Jo if you’re interested in proceeding with using some of this space.
Lost Item
A ring was lost last week (possibly in the men’s bathroom). If you find a silver ring with black lines and black dots please let Jaime Turner (jjturner@purdue.edu | 765-494-3509) know so she can return to the owner.
