by Brown, Donna J 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Dear Faculty, Recently a group of staff was assembled to improve our recharge process. The result of that meeting follows and with your help, will achieve our goal of reducing our recharge processing time from 3 months to 1 month. Each month: 1. By the 5th the approval process will begin. 2. By the 17th, we would appreciate you or your designee returning the report with changes and approvals. 3. By the end of the month, upload complete. I also wanted to let you know that other improvements are happening: 1. A review of Coral to purge old students, expired grants, old projects. (we may need your help) 2. Establishing a Birck email account that anyone can send questions for answers (bnc-recharge(a)purdue.edu<mailto:bnc-recharge@purdue.edu>) 3. Establish a Recharge Training Class to be conducted here in Birck. With your help and us working together, this can be very successful! More to come!

Nanodays Volunteers
by Shakouri, Ali 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Dear Colleagues, NanoDays 2014 will be held next Thursday and Friday, April 10th and 11th from 9am to 1pm. We still need student volunteers. Could you please encourage your students to volunteer a few hours of their time for this program? Please remind your students this is a great opportunity to add outreach and volunteer efforts to their resumes. This can also help with the outreach of our federal proposals. We are looking for graduate students to sit at pre-made activity tables and help the students go over the hands on activities and explain the nano concepts behind the activity. These activities are simple so they don't need lengthy training. Please have your students see Jaime in BRK 1027 or email her at jjturner(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jjturner@purdue.edu> to sign up for a time. I appreciate very much in advance your kind support. Best regards, Ali
