Clarification - RE: Aspen license status
by Harrington, Michael P 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

My apologies, my last message was confusing, Aspen is working and will continue to work until 12am tonight. At that point new sessions won't be able to be started, we anticipate the new license will be up and running by 8am tomorrow (So no new Aspen session from 12am to 8am). Thanks again, Mike Harrington -----Original Message----- From: Che-staff-list [mailto:che-staff-list-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Harrington, Michael P Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 4:47 PM To: 'chme(a)ecn.purdue.edu' <chme(a)ecn.purdue.edu>; 'chmegrad(a)ecn.purdue.edu' <chmegrad(a)ecn.purdue.edu> Cc: 'Stan Harlow' <harlow(a)purdue.edu> Subject: Re: [Che-staff-list] Aspen license status Good afternoon, The new license for Aspen is ready but can't be installed until tomorrow (it's not active until 9/17) - so new sessions of Aspen won't be able to be launched until about 8am tomorrow morning. I believe current sessions will continue to function but can't guarantee it. Thanks for your patience, Mike Harrington

Forney addition to be evacuated during fall break for construction work
by Farmus, Cristina D 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

As you are aware, an entire wing of our building is under renovation. An important part of the project involves installing an air handling unit. A crane will have to lift this large item and the structural steel supporting it on the Forney roof. While the crane operates, all the areas directly under the crane operating area have to be evacuated, as a safety precaution. There will be no interruption of electricity or other utilities, unless something goes wrong. This involves a good part of the addition: * Third floor: 3124, 3126, the hallway outside these labs, 3140, 3149, 3190, 3192, addition restrooms * Second floor: 2107, 2120 through 2128, 2131, 2135, 2137, 2142, 2144, 2145, 2146, 2148,2190, 2191, 2193, 2194, 2196, hallways where the lockers are and the restrooms in the addition * First floor: 1120 through 1128, 1137, 1142, 1144, 1146, 1148, 1190, 1191, 1192,A, 1193, 1194, 1196, the hallway where the lockers are, restrooms in addition * Ground floor: G111, G118 suite, G124, G125, G140, atrium & restrooms in addition * Basement: the entire basement in the addition, especially because two stairwells are affected * The stairwell from the Physics side - all floors As of today, part of this work is scheduled for the following dates: * Fall break - from Saturday, October 10, through Tuesday, October 13, 2015 * Winter break 2015-16 - days will be communicated in advance * Spring break 2016 - days will be communicated in advance If you have an office or lab in the areas mentioned above you will not be able to access your space during the times mentioned above. The other people with labs or offices in the addition will be indirectly affected as they will have to use different routes to get to their space. We are encouraging all people affected directly or indirectly to avoid being in the addition at these times. Please plan accordingly. I will work with the affected staff to create temporary work space in other areas of the building, such as the computer labs. Grad students can to the same. If this evacuation creates any difficulties with research experiments let me know as soon as possible. I appreciate everyone's understanding and cooperation while we work on improving Forney Hall.

Purdue's 2015 United Way campaign "Windows of Opportunity"
by Hadley, JoAnna M 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Good afternoon everyone, As you saw in the PurdueToday<http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/purduetoday/releases/2015/Q3/purdues-united-…> email Purdue's 2015 United Way campaign started Sept. 10 with the goal of raising $760,000 for local human services agencies. This year's Purdue campaign theme is called "Windows of Opportunity" and goal is about 15 percent of the United Way of Greater Lafayette Campaign's goal, which is $5 million. As your team captain for the United Way campaign, I'm passing on more information best explained in this video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNbuyvugQSY>. Pledge cards will be distributed to you this week. Please return your envelopes with your name on the outside to me in the Business Office new location FRNY 1057. * Those who give at least $20 more than last year to United Way will receive a special ticket price for the Sept. 26 home football game against Bowling Green. Pledges must be received by Sept. 17. * Those who give at least $20 more than last year will receive a buy-one-get-one-free offer for Mark Morris Dance Group's "Dido and Aeneas" through Purdue Convocations. The promotion is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to 500. * Every new gift or increase of $100 will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to a grant from Eli Lilly Endowment. * Vanguard donors who increase their gift will receive Shively Outdoor Club tickets for $100 each or Buchanan Indoor Club tickets, which includes premium food, for $150 each. Pledges must be received by Sept. 17. For more information * Purdue United Way office: 49-49240 or www.purdue.edu/unitedway<http://www.purdue.edu/unitedway>.

Dear Colleagues, I am very sorry to inform that Julie Kim's father passed away last evening. You may recall that her mother passed away in May 2014 - loss of both parents over a short period is difficult to bear. Sang will be away for the memorial services in the Bay Area next week. Our thoughts and prayers are with Julie, Sang and their family. Arvind
