Condolences to Betty Burns
by Vance, Roberta Lynn 02 Aug '24

02 Aug '24

Dear CCE, Sadly, Betty Burns lost Otto, her husband of 63 years, this past Sunday. Betty has served faithfully with us, cleaning Hampton for 35 years. I personally, have looked forward to seeing her daily around 4 PM. As an expression of sympathy, please stop by the Main Office and sign a condolence card. We are also taking up a collection for a gift of outdoor flowers to be planted in her yard. Betty and Otto continually worked side by side in their yard and on projects within their home. Hopefully, this will be an honorable tribute to their lifelong relationship. If anyone wants to help plant, we will send details once arrangements have been determined. Please keep Betty's family in your thoughts and prayers. Otto Burns https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tippe…<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tippe…> Bobbie Vance Administrative Assistant Environmental and Hydraulics & Hydrology Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering Delon and Elizabeth Hampton Hall of Civil Engineering 550 Stadium Mall Drive Summer Schedule Hampton Hall 3145 M,T,W Remote T,F West Lafayette, IN 47907-2051 Phone: 765-494-2194 Fax: 765-494-0395 Email: vancer(a)purdue.edu<mailto:vancer@purdue.edu> [cid:image002.png@01DADE6B.893A3090] Together, We Build.

CCE Email Distribution Lists
by Freeland, Whitney A 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Hello, For the Civil and Construction Engineering merger, Purdue IT has switched all email distribution lists to combined CCE lists. The CE lists have been deactivated. If you would like to send out an email using one of the lists, please use this template from now on: cce-(list_name)-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu<mailto:cce-(list_name)-list@ecn.purdue.edu>. So, if you would like to send an email to the faculty, please use: cce-faculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu<mailto:cce-faculty-list@ecn.purdue.edu>. Basically, just add an extra "c" to the email line. Please make sure you deleting the old email addresses from your pop-ups on the "To" or "CC" email lines. Never use an email with "bounces" in the email address. Once again, all of the "ce-(list_name)-list" lists have be deactivated and no longer work. Thank you, Whitney Freeland Administrative Manager Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering 550 Stadium Ave. West Lafayette, IN 47906-2057 o: 765-494-2256 [cid:image001.png@01DAE328.384390C0]<https://www.purdue.edu/?utm_source=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=…>
