26 Aug '20

Please see the e-mail below and the embedded link to see the results from the University Senate's wave 3 survey. As your Senate representative, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns that you would like me to bring to the Senate. Prof. Julie C. Liu University Faculty Scholar Associate Professor Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 Phone: (765) 494-1935 Fax: (765) 494-0805 -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Senate Wave 3 Survey: Results Posted Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2020 20:42:49 +0000 From: Purdue University Senate <purdueuniversitysenate(a)purdue.edu> Reply-To: Nichols, Deborah L <deborahnichols(a)purdue.edu>, Purdue University Senate <purdueuniversitysenate(a)purdue.edu> Dear Senators, We have now posted the Wave 3 results on the Senate website <https://www.purdue.edu/senate/senate-authenticated/Fall-Reopen-Survey-Wave-…>. Thank you for all that you have done to encourage those you represent to complete these surveys, and please let them know they can access these results. We continue to see high participation rates. Thank you everyone for being so willing to share comments, concerns, questions, and other issues via the surveys and via the Senate web form <https://www.purdue.edu/senate/town-hall-index.php>. >From the Wave 3 results, it is clear that the majority of the broader Purdue community is apprehensive about this fall (and how could we not be?). Of particular note is the new set of questions on personal well-being. Faculty, grad students, and post docs are reporting diminished levels of well-being (overall and in comparison to staff and undergrads) as it relates to feeling like we accomplish all that we need to, that we can switch off from work, that we can manage both work and personal demands, and that we are engaging in enough high-quality interactions with others. Conversely, many are reporting the benefits of working remotely including no commute time, wearing comfortable clothing, and finding time in the day to exercise, eat healthy, and spend time with family. Leaning on our communities for support, engaging in acts of kindness and generosity, and finding joy in small moments may help to navigate these difficult times and, to some extent, soothe our anxieties. Thank you all again for taking time repeatedly from your summer to share with us all that you have. It is my sincerest hope that you all stay healthy and safe as we transition into fall. Kind regards, *Deborah L. Nichols, Ph.D.* /Chair, Purdue University Senate/ /Associate Professor/ Human Development and Family Studies | College of Health and Human Sciences 1202 West State Street | Hanley Hall 223 West Lafayette, IN 47907-2055 o: 765.496.0137 | m: 765.602.6388 [/she | her | hers/] Purdue University <https://www.purdue.edu/?utm_source=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=…>

BE ADVISED - Due to testing of the emergency generator outside, the exhaust was pulled into the new side outdoor air intake so you may smell a slight burning odor inside the building. They will be done shortly and it will dissipate soon hopefully. Thanks. Jeff Valley

ChE Staff Excellence Award
by Gonzalez, Joshua 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

Dear All, I am happy to announce this year's recipient for the ChE Staff Excellence Award, Jason Davenport. As you all know by now, the current pandemic has influenced nearly all aspects of our lives and one such was the cancellation of the annual faculty, staff, and grad student appreciation reception back in May. Due to that, we were unable to announce and properly honor all of the recipients of this year's awards as is our custom. For these reasons, the plaque for this award will be presented the next time we are all able to gather together. For the meanwhile, please join me in congratulating Jason Davenport for his fantastic job well done this year. His continual service not only pre-covid but also now during the pandemic has been crucial in our School's operations and it's ability to provide PPE and other needed supplies to all. Thank you, Joshua --- [Davidson_H-Full-CMYK_1200px] <https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Joshua Gonzalez Operations Coordinator [Phone_1D_11x16px] (765) 494-4365 | [Fax_1D_16x16px] (765) 494-0805

Please see the request below about the Senate's current survey. Prof. Julie C. Liu Associate Professor Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 Phone: (765) 494-1935 Fax: (765) 494-0805 -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Request re: Wave 3 Survey Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2020 14:47:46 +0000 From: Purdue University Senate <purdueuniversitysenate(a)purdue.edu> Reply-To: Nichols, Deborah L <deborahnichols(a)purdue.edu>, Purdue University Senate <purdueuniversitysenate(a)purdue.edu> Dear Senators: I am writing to ask you to reach out to your units and strongly encourage them to complete the Senate Wave 3 Survey <https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3yONjLz6jCCHv1P>. The data generated from these surveys is vital in our efforts to communicate with administration at all levels more effectively. We have shared and continue to share your concerns, your questions, and your suggestions, as well as work with Purdue’s administration, based on the data and your comments to identify ways to enhance the safety and personal well-being of the broader Purdue community. I know many of us are experiencing heightened levels of stress and anxiety—this is one of the more pronounced findings across the survey waves—and we may be weary of completing another survey, especially as we contemplate the fall semester. I firmly believe that having this information provides us with a much stronger collective voice to advocate on your behalf. I thank you for your assistance. It matters.

Addition Fume Hood Shutdown
by Valley, Jeffrey L 10 Aug '20

10 Aug '20

I'm sending this to all of ChE just so I do not miss anyone, so many of you can disregard this email if you do not work in a research lab on the addition side of the building. On the 1st of every month at midnight the system on the addition side switches motors that exhausts the fume hoods. This past Saturday it did not switch and the system quit working until someone reported it and they reset and put it back into normal operation. In accessing the system this morning, the techs found that there is a faulty relay/switch that needs to be replaced. To replace the part they say they will need to shutdown the whole system and it will be off for approx.. 4 hours for them to replace and test to ensure it is working correctly. I am asking the PI and grad students to determine when this can occur. It has to happen before the end of the month but doing it as soon possible is best and it will be over and done with. Please respond to the FRNY BLDING que so Nick and I can both monitor it. Although it is disrupting to have to shut down for a morning it needs to happen. Sorry and Thanks. Jeff

Addition Fume Hood Shutdown

07 Aug '20

BE ADVISED - Just a reminder that Monday morning , 8-10-20 , at 8 am the fume hoods on the addition side of the building will be shutdown for repairs. They have scheduled this shutdown for 3 - 4 hrs but hopefully it will be completed sooner than that. The shutdown is going to effect the addition side only. Please take any necessary precautions as needed. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks. Jeff Valley

Many respondents have submitted helpful suggestions for conducting another town hall. Thank you. We are working from those comments and from what we have learned from administration to select the most relevant and appropriate topic(s) moving forward. We continue to have a question submission form <https://www.purdue.edu/senate/contact.php> on the Senate website <https://www.purdue.edu/senate/> and monitor it regularly. Next week, we will be sending a link around for all folks to complete the Wave 3 Survey. We have been regularly sharing top-line results as well as results specific to individual colleges and units with multiple constituencies, including the Provost’s office, college deans and associate deans, department heads, PGS, PGSG, CSSAC, and MaPSAC to ensure that the broader community understands everyone’s concerns, and to work to answer the questions that you have. With that goal in mind, we will be creating a FAQ on the Senate website with questions you’ve submitted and answers we have received. Finally, in an effort to disseminate answers to your questions and other information we receive weekly during our leadership meetings with the Provost, we have created a Twitter <https://twitter.com/home> account: @purdueunivsenatechair. Please follow us. Kind regards, Deb *Deborah L.
