Final statement from the ESE student body to affirm and encourage respect to all people
by Lee, Linda S 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

"We, the graduate students of the Ecological Sciences and Engineering (ESE) Interdisciplinary Graduate Program, wish to express our complete disapproval of groups that promote racism and hate on our campus. It is our belief that Purdue University benefits from a racially and culturally diverse student body, and this is especially true in ESE. Diversity enriches our educational, cultural, and social experiences, making us better scholars and better people. Recognizing the importance of our differences cultivates shared values that define the ESE community. As graduate students, we extend our full support to all members of our community and affirm that you are valued and respected here, at Purdue." Linda S.

Keystone Series Update AND Call for Leadership Team Volunteers
by Lee, Linda S 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Please see attached for the survey results for the topic of the 2017 Keystone Series. Standing Rock is the majority vote, and therefore, is what we will target. However, there are both water quality issues and political change impacts (which are within the proposed topics 2 and 3) that are part or may influence the Standing Rock situation. Therefore, it should be very easy within this topic to engage a larger town-n-gown community that includes the broader theme on energy-environment-climate issues and how the pipeline issues will play out under the new administration. The owners of the pipeline are emboldened and are highly optimistic that the project will be now quickly approved. What other environmental protections for the pipeline project, and more broadly, will be dismantled, with the new EPA leader (a climate denier)? So Standing Rock is a perfect current case study for addressing energy issues and can include other energy options and subsequent challenges (increased coal mining for jobs? Increased gas/oil exploration?, etc.). Also other issues that impact these issues including what will it mean if US pulls out of climate change mitigation (Paris Accord) agreements. So a great stage to engage many and a way to bring the reality of 'wicked problems' to the forefront, and subsequently, foster critical thinking and a nonbiased approach (or an awareness of bias-filtering of information) to find reasonable and resilient solutions. Ideally, I would like to see the main Keystone event (the traditional panel session) occur before spring break so we need to get moving on this. So now a CALL FOR LEADERSHIP TEAM VOLUNTEERS. Please email me and copy Christal if you are interested in serving on the leadership team. Ideally, we would like 2 people from each cohort currently on campus. Linda S.

From: Foley, Carolyn J [mailto:cfoley@purdue.edu] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2016 4:02 PM To: ACESLISTSERV seagrant-staff <seagrant-staff(a)aces.illinois.edu>; iisgresearch(a)lists.purdue.edu; 'pccrc-global(a)lists.purdue.edu' <pccrc-global(a)lists.purdue.edu>; ese-student-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu; Byrne, Margaret A <MByrne(a)dnr.IN.gov> Subject: Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant request for research preproposals Apologies for cross postings. Please forward to interested parties. The Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program (IISG) issues this call for research preproposals to address critical concerns facing Lake Michigan. Research is to be conducted in the 2018-2019 biennium. PIs from educational or research institutions in Illinois or Indiana are eligible for these funds. Up to $100,000 per year for two years will be available for funding projects. The funds requested must be matched by at least 50% (one nonfederal dollar for every two federal dollars requested). Proposals should address at least one of the 4 National Sea Grant Program Focus Areas: Healthy Coastal Ecosystems; Resilient Communities and Economies; Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture; Environmental Literacy and Workforce Development. In particular, we seek to fund original research projects within one or more of the following themes: * Southern Lake Michigan region coastal planning * Innovative approaches to managing and capitalizing on environmental resources * Economic value of Lake Michigan coastal areas PIs are encouraged to explore the IISG research webpages <http://iiseagrant.org/research.php> to determine how research interests fit with program priorities and identify potential extension partners. Anyone who is considering submitting a preproposal is invited to attend an informational webinar <http://iiseagrant.org/funding_core.php> on Dec. 9 at 10:30 am EST (9:30 am CST). Preproposals must be received by 6:00 pm EST (5:00 pm CST) on January 23, 2017. The full request for preproposals can be found at http://www.iiseagrant.org/research/IISG_2016RFP.pdf. Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program (IISG), a cooperative enterprise of the University of Illinois and Purdue University, supports research, technology transfer, and outreach and education activities for issues of importance to the southern Lake Michigan region in the two states. IISG is part of the National Sea Grant College Program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
