Business Cards - Delayed
by Zachary Daniel Sigafoes 16 Oct '24

16 Oct '24

Hello team, I've had a few professors ask so I figured it would be best practice to communicate an update on business cards. They have been delayed. Dr. Sorge, Dr. Umulis and Dr. Groll have agreed upon a format that they want information displayed on the business card and to do this, we need to go through a different vendor (Not Phoenix Innovative). Currently, Adrianne Thompson and I are waiting for confirmation with a template that matches the vision that Dr. Sorge, Dr. Umulis and Dr. Groll have agreed upon. I have those mock drafts included as a pdf in this email so that you're able to see them (The top left and top right are what our cards would look like as a mock example). I am aware that these mock drafts do not look like the last version of the business card through the Phoenix template. When I receive a new template of how they'll look with a new vendor, I will share them with each faculty before a purchase is made. Sincerely, Zach Sigafoes - Executive Assistant Purdue University Indianapolis zsigafoe(a)purdue.edu<mailto:zsigafoe@purdue.edu> - 765.495.7703 [cid:15172ba7-79c7-46ca-ac90-6455cc2982c9]

ME Policy Reminders
by Mechanical Engineering Graduate Office 15 Oct '24

15 Oct '24

Hello ME Faculty! Just a few reminders on ME policies as Sp'25 registration opened yesterday (Oct 14): All research-based students are required to register for research credits, every semester registered. The quantity of credits, needs to come about from a discussion with you and your student as to what is expected that semester, so it can vary from semester to semester. You should highly encourage your students to get registered in research before the semester starts, so the 2-step registration process, is a one-step approval process for you in the system. You should have also received an email today on sp'25 research registration issues from Cathy, so please make sure to read that as well and let us know if you have any questions. All research-based students are required to be funded, and funded students must register full-time each semester. All new students are required to submit their initial plan of study by the 6th week of their first semester, so they should be working on securing their advisory committee as soon as possible to meet that deadline. All persons in your research lab need to be either a funded graduate student, an undergrad taking research for credit, or a Purdue employee (post doc or research engineer). Volunteers are not allowed in the research lab. If you have questions on the hiring process, please let us know. ME does not offer part-time programs, other than the online Master's non-thesis program. Any current part-time research-based student will need to transition to full time next year or will need to transfer to an online Master's or doctoral program. Master's students have a maximum time to degree limit of 3 years, PhD students 6 years, and D-PhD students 7 years. Please remember that PhD & D-PhD students must register for two semesters between their prelim semester and their final semester, so help them plan accordingly so they can stay within the time to degree limits. The ME grad office is here to assist all grad students and all ME faculty, including those based in Indianapolis, on any grad-student related items. Please email Xiaomin Qian<mailto:xiaomin@purdue.edu> for any admission/application questions/concerns, or Sheri Tague<mailto:sltague@purdue.edu> for any current student related questions/concerns. Please encourage your students to email the general ME Grad office inbox, megradoffice(a)purdue.edu<mailto:megradoffice@purdue.edu> or stop in on any of our established virtual office hours (posted on the ME grad blog), so they get accurate information. Have a wonderful day! ME Graduate Office Staff [cid:image001.png@01DB1EFE.E1D2D9E0] We are Purdue. What we make moves the world forward.
