Reminder to be mindful of phishing emails
by Harrington, Michael P 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

This morning myself and many others received a phishing email that looked fairly convincing with the subject of " Upgrade Purdue University webmail account immediately." The email contained a link that went to a non-Purdue webpage that is designed to look somewhat official which requests the user to enter his her email, login and password. Please remember not to click on links in emails unless you are 100% sure of their authenticity. These emails are designed to harvest your account information. If you did go to the website in the link and enter your email and password you should immediately change your password. When in doubt please send an email to cheq(a)ecn.purdue.edu and we will let you know if the email appear legitimate. Almost 100% of the time the answer is the email is a fake. Thanks, Mike Harrington ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager ECN/Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu

Bugs
by Valley, Jeffrey L 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

BE ADVISED - For the past couple of weeks the building has experienced more activity of bugs moving around and sighted in many different areas. Pest control used to spray on a monthly schedule but at our request has been spraying during the evening hours on a regular biweekly basis for some time now. When this occurs is usually when you will see more pests in the open as they are dead or dying as a result of the spray. We try to be diligent in removing or disposing of them as we find them but as you hopefully are aware of, this is always an ongoing process. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thanks. Jeff Valley

The purpose is to inspire STEM teachers and students in energy sciences and engineering. This is an immersive one week program and will consist of: (1) talks by Purdue researchers and industry leaders, (2) tours, (3) hands-on activities, (4) research projects, and (5) teachers developing energy lessons. This year program will be inaugurated by former Chairman Jim Rogers, Duke Energy. We will have approximately 84 exceptionally talented high school (10/11th grades) students and secondary teachers. The Energy Academy presents an excellent opportunity to faculty for their broader impact activities. Please let us know if you would like to participate in this activity. Specifically, we are looking for faculty who have hands on activities/projects, or would like to give talk or mentor teachers/students for group projects. Please send a message to energyacademy(a)purdue.edu<mailto:energyacademy@purdue.edu> if you would like to participate. Also, we are interested having Purdue students (UG/Graduate) be counselors and volunteers. Counseling/volunteering in this program is stimulating, challenging and rewarding, and provides a unique opportunity to gain experience learning about energy, interacting with the high school students as well as teachers. The live-in setting (Counselors only) also provides a rich environment for developing interpersonal skills, leadership skills, and exploring self-growth. The counselor opportunity is a paid position.

ChE Business Office - J. Mears
by Fetter, Erin N 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hello Everyone, I am sending you this message to let you know that Jill Mears resigned her position effective January 22, 2015 and is no longer working at Purdue. It is my goal to minimize the impact on our school as much as possible, so we are working on scheduling assistance in our office. I will be coordinating with a few highly qualified account managers from other schools to work with me on faculty portfolios. We will be going through each faculty member's accounts and projections this week. Our immediate deadline is the PAR deadline of February 19th, so please be aware that we will be contacting faculty members with outstanding PARs to setup meetings to review and sign your PARs. It is also very important that anyone that has outstanding items with Jill please forward those messages or situations to me as soon as possible; please do not hesitate to send me anything that you think that I may need in managing your accounts. I will be reviewing these and ensuring that all of these items are also addressed as quickly as possible. Since we will have a few individuals from other areas assisting us in the account management, please note that you may be receiving emails from people that you may not recognize. I will be very involved in this process, so please don't hesitate to email me, call me, or even schedule a meeting with me to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work through this. //////////////////////////////////////////// Erin Fetter Business Manager Chemical Engineering 765-494-4071 [Description: Description: W:\PU_signature_white_bg_215x80.png] Business Services enfetter(a)purdue.edu<mailto:enfetter@purdue.edu> www.purdue.edu<http://www.purdue.edu/> We are Purdue.

Jim Caruthers
by Varma, Arvind 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Dear Colleagues, I’m very sorry to inform that Jim had a heart attack last night. Becky was vigilant about the symptoms and took him to IU Arnett where, owing to lack of space in the cardiac unit, he’s in their ICU. He had a catheterization procedure this morning - two arteries were 100% blocked, so they put 2 stents in. He has two more arteries that are 75% blocked but they currently plan to treat those with medication. Because of the many flu cases in the Lafayette area, they are only permitting family members to see him. I’ll keep you informed of developments as they become available. Pl keep Jim and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Arvind
