Office Coverage, Working from Home....
by Stacey, Lisa A 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Forwarding on behalf of Dave Bahr: ________________________________ MSE Faculty, Staff, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students, With finals week here we've made it through fall. This is great news for all of us. Our next step is from now until classes start in January. During this time there will be more people taking time off for vacation during days the university is open, as well as days where the university is closed for break/holidays. When coupled to rapidly rising local infection rates of the virus (just FYI, we are still getting daily notes about students and employees that need to quarantine, which doesn't mean there's a positive test but does mean they can't come on to campus) it's likely that our office and in person schedules will be more sporadic from now until Jan. 19th. As has been the case all semester, when we can work from home we should; it reduces the likelihood of viral transmission. With working from home sometimes it's hard to focus on work/life balance. It's important to recognize that someone on vacation or using time off deserves to use that time off (they are not on call just because they are not in the office). If you are taking time off please use the auto-reply function on your email so that someone expecting an answer knows to wait. And if you are asking/expecting someone to be in the office/buildings for some reason, make sure to ask them before assuming they are coming in that day, and if they say they are working from home respect that answer without asking why they are working from home. Lisa will be maintaining a schedule of who's in the office and who's working from home each day for the staff, but we aren't putting up a long term "in-out" schedule because unfortunately people may have to quarantine on short notice. In summary, please make sure to (1) respect people's out of office messages; (2) don't assume someone is in the office/lab, and (3) do not expect that someone can come in if they are working from home nor ask why they are working from home. Stay safe everyone. We can get through this working together.

End of semester - building safety
by Noerenberg, Catherine L 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Subject: [msestaff-list] End of semester - building safety Folks, At the end of any semester it is not uncommon to have an increase in possible theft activities in buildings. This semester in particular, with less students, staff, and faculty in the buildings, the buildings are emptier than usual. An individual has been recently seen wandering through ARMS and trying door handles (this is typical behavior tied to potential theft), and the potential for a confrontation with an individual that doesn’t belong in the building is possible. If you see anyone that looks like they don’t belong on campus or behaving in an odd manner in the building you should feel comfortable calling the Purdue police 494-8221, the number is on the back of your ID. If you are threatened or it’s an emergency call 911. While this has currently been seen in ARMS, other buildings across campus are also likely targets and as such please remain aware no matter where you are working; currently the university buildings are open to the public from 7AM to 6 PM. For the time being we will be keeping doors locked to the offices and office suites in MSE controlled spaces, and you should be aware of your surroundings when being in the building. While the Purdue community is usually safe, times with low building density often to lead to problematic behavior. Stay alert, if you see something say something, and where and when possible make sure other MSE’s know when you’re around. We will distribute this information to the MSE graduate students and post-docs (Cathy, please forward) and MSE undergraduates who have lab/building access (Jenni please forward). Stay safe, and hope the end of the semester goes well for everyone.

Personal Safety in ARMS
by Jennifer Louise Fifer 01 Dec '20

01 Dec '20

Hello MSE Researchers and Students, There have been some concerns expressed from many of you regarding feeling uncomfortable working in Armstrong with less MSE folks around. I want to reassure you that MSE takes this concern very seriously and is working to create a safer working environment for all of you. Dave Bahr is speaking with Purdue police and Public Safety about ways to increase personal safety in Armstrong as well. For now, I wanted to draw your attention to a few resources available to you in addition to campus police and reporting to MSE: * MSE Lab Buddy System (Located in the MSE Lab Safety Brightspace page under "Discussion Board") o https://purdue.brightspace.com/d2l/le/84795/discussions/topics/210970/View?… o Suggestion and input from Caitlin Adams on behalf of MSE GSA o You can request a buddy or volunteer to be a lab buddy o In-person or via video chat options o Resource created today for your benefit. Feel free to suggest methods for improvement. * Student of Concern * https://www.purdue.edu/advocacy/faculty/incident.html * This resource can be used to report a student if you believe they are threat to themselves or another person. * C.A.R.E (Center for Advocacy, Response, and Education) * Website: https://www.purdue.edu/odos/care/about/index.html * 24/7 Crisis hotline: (765) 495-CARE * This resource provides support and resources for students who are victims of stalking, threats, violence, rape, or sexual assault. Stay Safe, Jenni Fifer Safety & Mechanical Testing Lab Technician Materials Science & Engineering Purdue University Phone: 765-494-9718 Email: fiferj(a)purdue.edu
