Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to inform that David Williams will join our School as the Senior Director of Development, effective August 12, 2013. In light of David's accomplishments and the high level of annual giving by our alumni, our position was upgraded to the Senior DoD level. Many of you may recall that David was a part of the Purdue Development team for nine years until his departure earlier this year. While at Purdue, he served as the Director of Advancement and Director of Development for the College of Engineering, as well as the Associate Director of Planned Giving and the UDO Communications Coordinator in Purdue Marketing Communications. David left Purdue earlier this year to become the Senior Major Gift Officer at the Riley Children's Foundation in Indianapolis. David brings a wealth of experience to our position. He has worked with our School's alumni and I for major fundraising projects in the past, and will be able to immediately make an impact within our School. Please join me in welcoming David back to Purdue and to our School! Best, Arvind Arvind Varma R.

Second fire alarm today
by Nagy, Gabriela 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Dear all, The fire alarm was once again activated today, around 4:10 pm. A water flow sensor in the sprinkler system on the third floor is malfunctioning; this caused the fire alarms to activate. The Fire Department will put a work order with the Physical Facilities to fix that water sprinkler today, so that we won't have false fire alarms caused by it anymore. It was good to see that everyone followed the emergency procedures and evacuated the building promptly, gathering around the "Awards Tower" in the Engineering Mall. Even though we don't like the fire alarms going off, we can consider this event as a good exercise to test the response of the people in our building in case of an emergency that requires evacuation. Thank you, Gabriela ________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director ChE Safety Committee Chair School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
