All Hazards Awareness Training Sessions
by Nagy, Gabriela 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hello Everyone, The Emergency Preparedness Office offers numerous training sessions on "All Hazards Awareness", and I strongly encourage you to participate in one of these sessions. They take place in the Terry Memorial House (TERY) Police Conference Room (205 South Martin Jischke Drive). This training is open to all members of the Purdue Community with a valid @purdue.edu email address. The training provides reminders on what constitutes an all-hazards emergency event and how faculty, staff and students in the classroom or elsewhere on campus should react in such a situation. The training will also explain how the campus community receives emergency notifications through the multi-layered Purdue Alert system, what "shelter in place" means and how to respond when they see the phrase in alerts sent out; evacuation procedures; what they can do to prepare; and available tools and resources. Please follow the link below to learn more about this training and to register for one of the offered sessions. https://www.itap.purdue.edu/apps/training/physicalfacilities/training/ Sincerely, Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee ________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director ChE Safety Committee Chair School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>

Electrical Work

BE ADVISED- On Thursday March 6th at 7:00am Purdue electricians will be making an adjustment to a setting on a main breaker in the electrical vault. When completed , the proper trip setting will insure the greatest safeguard to equipment and personnel. Although NO disruption in service is anticipated there is a potential of a slight risk that a brief loss of power could occur. They have done this work in other buildings with no problems or loss of power but there is always that chance. Please take any necessary precautions for any equipment or instruments that you would have a concern with. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks.

Re: [ChE-Courtesy-list] Graduate Recruiting

Dear Colleagues, Pl join me in congratulating our Graduate Recruiting Cmte, the GSO, Katie Field and all other participants for a job well done! I too received similar comments from the visitors - let's hope our hard work will bear fruit with a great incoming graduate class this fall! With best wishes, Arvind Varma R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor Jay and Cynthia Ihlenfeld Head of Chemical Engineering Purdue University Tel: 765-494-4075; Fax: 765-494-0805; Email: avarma(a)purdue.edu<mailto:avarma@purdue.edu> https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/People/ptProfile?id=11068 From: Che-faculty-list [mailto:che-faculty-list-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Beaudoin, Stephen P Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2014 5:14 PM To: chefaculty(a)ecn.purdue.edu; Field, Catherine A; fdevilbi(a)purdue.edu; 'chmegrad(a)ecn.purdue.edu' (chmegrad(a)ecn.purdue.edu) Cc: Beaudoin, Stephen P; Field, Catherine A; Pekny, Joe; Boudouris, Bryan W; Laird, Carl Subject: [Che-faculty-list] Graduate Recruiting Dear Colleagues: On behalf of the Graduate Recruiting Committee (Bryan Boudouris, Raj Gounder, Chongli Yuan, Ken Thomson, Joe Pekny, Carl Laird, Steve Beaudoin), I am writing to thank all of the students, faculty, and staff who participated in our graduate recruiting weekend. Our visitors were highly complementary of the organization, attention to detail, and sincere interest we showed them during their time with us. For the first time since I have been involved with recruiting at Purdue, we had a student accept our admission offer during the visit, which was a particularly nice outcome. I would like to point out that the students commented consistently that they were impressed that our faculty and students were 'real people', who were approachable and personable. They also commented that, in contrast to a number of the other schools they visited, it was clear that our faculty and students genuinely liked and respected each other. More than one student was disappointed that our Friday evening reception ended at 10 p.m. (after 3 hours!) because they were enjoying the company of the faculty and GSO so much! I think that speaks very well of us, and is one of the many reasons I am so happy to be here. Finally, it was a great pleasure for me to lead the committee this year. Bryan, Raj, Chongli, Ken, Joe, Carl, and Katie were efficient and responsive to the urgency of this activity, and as a result many of our recruits commented that we were the first school to respond to them, and that we were the only school that reached out to them personally via phone and email. This made a positive impression, and contributed to the overall positive atmosphere associated with the visit. Combined with the outstanding research and professional opportunities we offer, I expect that this sort of personal connection will lead to a high yield on our offers of admission. Thanks again for your extra effort, Steve Stephen P. Beaudoin Professor and Director of Graduate Admissions Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering 480 Stadium Mall Drive West Lafayette, IN 47906 (765) 494-7944 (office) (765) 494-0805 (fax)
