[Mentoring_at_Purdue] Mentoring@Purdue Bridging Generational Competence Workshop
by Vollmer, Dorothy L 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Good morning! The Mentoring@Purdue Program (M@P) is holding the final workshop of the semester THIS MONTH! Bridging Generational Competence is on Wednesday, April 19th from noon - 1:00pm in Pfendler Hall room 241 with lunch provided. Please join us, along with Dr. Scott Downey, an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics, Quincy Clark, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Youth Development and Agricultural Education, and Casey Hooker, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, to dig deeper into the topic of generational competence. The multi-generational workforce requires generational competence and an age-friendly work environment that draws on the strengths of all generations. The ability to understand and accept generational differences facilitates the mutual respect and equity necessary to foster successful intergenerational relationships as co-workers and mentors. The overall goal of this workshop is to define generational competence and its role in age-diversity and mentoring. We will discuss the common characteristics of different generational groups and identify specific areas of difference to bridge, as well as commonalities to build upon, and outline strategies for developing generational competence and creating powerful intergenerational mentoring relationships. We hope to see you there!

Nanodays Volunteers Needed
by Turner, Jaime J 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

REMINDER: Nanodays volunteers needed, please sign up! Sign up Link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/409044eabad2aa1f94-nanodays Dear Birck Graduate Students, As many of you may know NanoDays has been a very successful outreach activity for the Birck Nanotechnology Center for many years. This year NanoDays is on Thursday and Friday, April 6 & 7. Additionally, on Wednesday evening, April 5 we are hosting local Girl Scout troops and we're also inviting faculty, staff, and student families to join us that evening. The visitor rolls are already full and the school children and young adults are very much looking forward to learning about science and engineering. The success of NanoDays is heavily dependent on having many student volunteers to demonstrate the 'experiments' and interact with the visitors, perhaps inspiring them into future careers in science and engineering. We have opportunities for many more volunteers so I'm seeking your help. The below call is going out a couple of times between now and NanoDays. Would you please strongly consider volunteering for this important activity? It is very rewarding to the many volunteers as they interact with young people and inspire them into STEM careers. You will find this a very rewarding experience! Thank you for helping to make NanoDays a success! Best, Dimitri --- Hello, Volunteers! I want to take a moment to thank you for signing up. Volunteers like you are what make events like NanoDays possible. We are less than a month away from NanoDays and currently only have half of the volunteers needed. If you have time, please take another look at the schedule and consider signing up for additional spots. Also, consider inviting friends and colleagues from technical and educational backgrounds to join you by sending them the following link: http://tinyurl.com/ztb83wz. One last thing, if you aren't signed up already, make sure to attend the training event and pizza party on Wednesday, 4/5/17, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Together we can make this the best NanoDays yet!
