Fw: consideration for open named professorships
by Joshua Gonzalez 18 Dec '25

18 Dec '25

Dear Distinguished and Named Professors Committee, I have shared all of the 8 faculty (7 Full & 1 Associate) who have submitted their documents for your consideration. I have shared the files via FileLocker. There will be a committee meeting Thursday, December 18 at 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. in FRNY 3059 and via Zoom. A Qualtrics survey will be sent out for you to vote on each of the faculty being considered. For those that cannot make the meeting, Dr. Corti still desires your input so please be sure to complete the survey as well. The important part is to provide him with as much input as possible. Unfortunatetly I will be out Thursday for a planned vacation, but Jason Thorp will act in my stead and I will try to attend virtually if possible. As always should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask either myself of Jason.

The new School procedure for potentially selecting the next recipients for these recognitions is as follows. (This process is similar to what is done in most, if not all, other Schools in the College.) All eligible faculty are requested to submit their most recent and complete CV, along with a 1-page summary outlining any accomplishments to date and the importance of those accomplishments. This material will then be reviewed by the School’s Named/Distinguished Professor Committee (NDPC). The NDPC will then recommend to the Head which faculty (if any) should be considered further for the vacant Named Professorships. For only those recommended by the NDPC, the Head will consult with those recommended faculty for a list of external letter writers (at least 5 are needed), and the Head will then solicit letters from that list. After the letters are received, the NDPC will reconvene for a final vote on the recommended candidates. For those candidates receiving a positive vote at this meeting, the resulting nomination packets will then be forwarded to the appropriate College-level Committee. (Positive votes at this College-level committee are then forwarded to the Dean, and then the Provost, and then on to the President and BoT for final approval.) If you would like to be considered for one of the vacant Named Professorships, please submit to Joshua Gonzalez (jgonzal(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jgonzal@purdue.edu>) your CV and the 1-page summary by 5pm on Dec. 15. The NDPC will be convening for the initial set of recommendations at a meeting scheduled no later than Dec. 19. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Regards, Dave -- David S.

OCHE survey - Ray Mentzer question
by Kim, Sangtae 07 May '24

07 May '24

CHE Distinguished & Named Professors, A confidential survey re OCHE & Ray. A number of you have nominated Ray Mentzer as deserving of the OCHE, and Ive held back as he’s on our faculty and thus a current Purdue employee. I’ve checked and there’s no such restriction; so for the senior faculty’s selection, I’d like to survey your thoughts on this. Joshua will set up a yes/no survey so please look for it. Of course his background prior to joining us is well known to all. —- Sang

Confidential good news - major gift
by Kim, Sangtae 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

CHE Distinguished and Named Professors, Confidential: I just learned today via Travis & Osra that the executor for Alan Fox’s estate has contacted us w the incredible news that he left a gift estimated ~$20M to the school. Likely to arrive 1st quarter of 2025. There are some donor wishes that we will need to arrange to honor his legacy appropriately so we won’t make the public announcement for now. But I have informed Brett & Letian as their deadline for the offer from ND is approaching. I will email the entire faculty tomorrow. —- Sang
