FR: Campus Emergency Preparedness and Planning Office DA: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 RE: All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Siren Test - Monday, August 15 at 3:30 p.m. Purdue University will test its All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Sirens on August 15 during the Boiler Gold Rush (BGR) orientation for new students. Purdue's five All Hazards Sirens will be tested at approximately 3:30 p.m. Monday afternoon. If there is inclement weather, the test will be cancelled. This is only a test and no action is necessary. There are three objectives to the test: Verify that each siren works; ensure the students know what the sirens sound like; and ensure students know what to do when the sirens are activated. BGR student leaders will provide this training immediately after the sirens are off. Please contact the Emergency Preparedness Office at 494-0446 if you have questions.

FYI................ From: Riese, Gail A [mailto:gariese@purdue.edu] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2011 12:19 PM Subject: Avoid area - traffic signal down at Stadium and University Communications Announcement Purdue University - Physical Facilities TO: Building Deputies [For immediate distribution.] FR: Purdue University Police Department DA: Monday, August 08, 2011 RE: Avoid area - traffic signal down at Stadium and University The traffic signal is down at the intersection of Stadium Avenue and University Street. A subcontractor working on a West Lafayette city water project struck a traffic signal pole with a backhoe and knocked it down. The traffic signal will be out of service until a pole can be located and the signal can be reinstalled. The West Lafayette Street Department has deployed temporary stop signs at the intersection. Vehicles should use extreme caution and pay attention to pedestrian traffic as they move through the intersection. Drivers should seek alternate routes around the intersection during peak traffic times to avoid delays. Thank you.

by Varma, Arvind 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to inform that Dr. Jeffrey J. Siirola will join our School as Professor of Engineering Practice, starting this Fall semester, at the 50% FTE level. His responsibilities are to teach (either as lead instructor or with other faculty members) the senior capstone Design course, to be involved with the Global Policy Research Institute (GPRI) and faculty in the energy/sustainability areas, and to serve as a resource in our planning efforts in his areas of expertise, including manufacturing. His appointment is for the current AY, with the possibility to renew for at least two more years. As you are probably aware from his involvement with our School over the years, Jeff Siirola retired recently as Technology Fellow, Eastman Chemical Company. Jeff is an NAE member (elected 1994), has received many other recognitions, and served in many leadership roles, including President of AIChE in 2005. He currently serves on the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Board of Directors and as its Secretary, is a member of the NRC Committee on Inherently Safer Chemical Processes, and serves on many prominent ChE program advisory boards. He has also served in advisory roles at Purdue: Discovery Park External Advisory Council, 2003- present ; Energy Center Advisory Board, 2007-present. Jeff also has another important connection with Purdue ChE - he is the proud father of John D. Siirola (BSChE 2000). Jeff received his BSChE degree from the University of Utah (1967) and Ph.D. (ChE) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1970). Along with his thesis advisor, Dale Rudd and fellow graduate student Gary Powers, he co-authored the pioneering textbook, Process Synthesis, Prentice-Hall (1973). Sharon and Jeff Siirola will arrive in town during the Labor Day weekend. Pl join me in welcoming them to our School! Best, Arvind Arvind Varma R.
