Nanodays Volunteers Needed
by Turner, Jaime J 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Dear Faculty, As you know for the last several years the Birck Nanotechnology Center has hosted the NanoDays event each Spring where over 1000 local elementary and high school students come to Birck to learn about science and nanotechnology through many interactive demonstrations and exercises. This has become a very well attended, and well received, outreach event that requires literally hundreds of volunteers to make it successful. Every year we get scores of Purdue students to support the event, which occurs this year on April 11, 12, & 13. April 11 is the evening session (6:00 pm - 8:00 pm) for the local Girl Scouts and Birck Families, and then April 12 & 13 are the local school students during the daytime hours. The April 12 & 13 dates have morning sessions 9:00 - 12:00, and afternoon sessions 12:00 - 3:00. We are in need of volunteers and ask that you encourage your students to sign up to participate. It is not a large time commitment and is a great resume-builder that shows outreach by providing leadership to younger students in STEM. Please encourage your students to sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/409044eabad2aa1f94-nanodays1 As a special bonus every student participant gets a free lunch and a tee-shirt! Thank you for your support of this important annual outreach activity! Sincerely, Ron Reger and Jaime Turner Nanodays Co-Chairs

FW: IMPORTNAT - Chemical Procurement
by Turner, Jaime J 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Students/Faculty/Staff, Most, if not all, of you saw the communication that was sent out last week regarding the hard deadlines for purchases made in Ariba related to the conversion of our financial systems to S4HANA. I greatly appreciate the diligence that many of you have had to stock-up on your needed supplies to ensure that your research is not hindered by this conversion. However, I do need to clarify the policy related to the stock-piling chemicals. 1. Please ONLY order the chemicals that you have the capacity to properly store in your lab. 2. It is NOT ALLOWABLE to store liquid chemicals above eye level. 3. Flammable material MUST be stored in a solvent hood cabinet or flammable storage cabinet. If, during the transition period, you need to order chemicals, you can bring a purchase request approved by Steve to the business office and check out a credit card to make the purchase. I hope that this email clarifies this for you. If you still have questions or concerns, please feel free reach out to me or Steve Jurss. Thank you, ///////////////////////////////////////// Erica Cox Business Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W.
