Good morning! The Mentoring@Purdue (M@P) team would like to welcome you back to campus for another wonderful year and extend an invitation to our Welcome Back Social on Wednesday, August 28th from noon-1:00pm in Pfendler Hall room 241! M@P would like to invite all incoming and current graduate students, faculty, and staff to our annual welcome back social. This informal event is a great opportunity to meet new students, reconnect with returning students, and actively engage with potential peer and faculty mentors. Please join us for lunch, socializing, and learn how to get involved with Mentoring@Purdue! This summer M@P hosted our 6th class of scholars from our Summer Scholars Program. Thank you to all of our speakers, guests, and hosts for their support! To read more about the Summer Scholars Program, meet the scholars, and learn a few new mentoring tips, check out our Fall Newsletter attached to this email. The Welcome Back Social kicks off an excellent lineup of M@P workshops for this fall--check the Fall Lineup Flyer attached to this email and don't forget to mark the dates in your calendar! [cid:113bf10f-1793-4d67-9363-ecd919256ed1] M@P is designed to meet the mentoring needs of the mentors and mentees in the program through events, group forums, guest speakers, and workshops. As a participant in M@P, you will have numerous opportunities for academic and personal growth, support, encouragement, and assistance. M@P will provide training and guidance to both parties on how to have an effective mentor-mentee relationship. Mentoring has played a crucial role in the success of many individuals, especially those that are generally underserved. The M@P program helps students grow professionally, academically, and personally to become successful individuals in their chosen area of study.

You're Invited! Purdue 2050: Conference of the Future, September 26-27, 2019
by Turner, Jaime J 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

[cid:image001.png@01D547A8.3B768AC0] Dear All, It is our pleasure to personally invite you to participate in a national symposium on "Purdue 2050: Conference of the Future" as part of Purdue University's 150th anniversary<http://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/37122656/1330614724/77384829/0/70628/?x=03c0d…> on September 26-27, 2019. Our anniversary theme is "Giant Leaps," recalling Purdue alumnus Neil Armstrong's historic statement on the moon. The centerpiece of the Giant Leaps celebration is a yearlong Ideas Festival, already underway, focused on the most critical challenges and opportunities facing our world now and in the future. This is an 'uncommon conference' where participants will have an immersive experience in futuristic technology that should appear in 2030 to 2050. The primary objective is to organize a conference, as it would happen in the future. The conference will include a series of sessions designed to explore emerging technologies through the lens of critical issues such as privacy and community development. Other sessions include future of healthcare, factories, and art and theatre. A leading expert will introduce quantum technologies to general public as taught in 2050. We will also have a series of student competitions. In the conference room of the future at Honors Hall, designed in collaboration with Purdue's Department of Art and Design, facial expressions of participants will be analyzed. This will provide real-time feedback to the speakers and audience, helping evaluate how new ideas are received. Exhibitions include nanophotonics/laser art, semi-transparent flexible loudspeaker, artificial intelligence generated art, an interactive model to experience a fall and your heartbeat. Each participant will be given a wearable device (e.g. for monitoring sweat). The event will bring together preeminent thought leaders, practitioners, and stakeholders from across government, industry, and academia to address key questions and help us better understand and plan for the impacts of these new technologies. Please visit our website<https://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/2050/index.php> for an updated list of presenters. Thank you for your consideration and we hope you'll join us on September 26-27. Registration is required; the cost is $40 for Purdue students, $100 for Purdue faculty and staff, and $200 for others. Please register<https://www.cvent.com/events/purdue-2050-conference-of-the-future/registrat…>, no later than August 30th. Seating is limited.

Women in Optics and Nanoscience Discussion Forum + Lunch
by Turner, Jaime J 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

Dear All, Please join us on Monday, 5 August, 12:30PM at BRK 1001 for the SPIE/OSA hosted Women in Optics and Nanoscience discussion forum. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines and industries so far remain a challenging environment for women. But what hindrances does a woman face to pursue a career in Optics and Nanoscience? The event will feature a forum comprising women in various stages in their research journey, led by experienced panelists like Prof. Alexandra Boltasseva, Prof. Dana Weinstein and Dr. Swati Pol who will discuss topics like challenges faced by women in their careers in science, and steps we can take to address the challenges. The participants are encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences. Our goal is to promote personal and professional growth for women through community building and networking opportunities. There will be free lunch and beverages!

FW: Clean up Delegates
by Turner, Jaime J 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Dear all, With the turnover to the new travel agency in Concur the Delegates listed are now receiving emails/itineraries on your trips. Since we have had quite a bit of turn over here in Birck we thought it would be a good time to clean up the Delegates you have listed. The Traveler is the only one who can add and delete Delegates. Here are the instructions. Click on the down arrow in the upper right hand corner next to Profile, select Profile Settings, go over to the left and down to Request Settings, select Request Delegates. Please check the box next to the names of the people that are listed that are no longer here in Birck and go up and click Delete. Next click on Add type in email address of the support person (see attached list, if you are a student look for your professor.), click all the boxes and save. Next, go down to Expense Settings, select Expense Delegates, and do the same thing, check the box next to the names of the people that are listed that are no longer here in Birck and go up and click Delete. Then start adding your Delegate, they may already be there. Click on all the boxes again, and then Save. This will now allow us to do/help with your travel. And, will eliminate the old Delegates from getting emails regarding your current travel. Thank you, Viki Rogers Business Assistant Purdue University Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W State Street West Lafayette, IN 47907 (765)494-2682 rogersv(a)purdue.edu<mailto:rogersv@purdue.edu>
