A couple things –
(1) the Snapshot summary that is posted a month old except for a few updated comments on those that were listed back in mid-December. We currently have 27 completed applications in the faculty review folder, 16 near completed and listed in preview, and several more apps in processing. The freeze impacted the GRE testing and scores so we may start posting some of the apps without them. We will get an updated Snapshot up in the next day or two.
(2) In order to successfully recruit the best students that fit our faculty and ESE, we need to focus our immediate efforts. So PLEASE let me know of your level of interest for new students this year, i.e., you have room in your research group and/or you anticipate having funds for additional students. This will help since even if a student is great, if there is no appropriate research group with room, we don’t want to bring them here.

Now Accepting Fellowship Nominations to Recruit Current ESE Applicants
ESE has been awarded 5 Lynn Fellowships from the Grad School (what we refer to as 1+3). Each fellowship award consists of the minimum stipend of $16,386 for one year, the associated graduate medical insurance supplement (~$1,568), and the fringe benefits (0.0041x stipend) associated with the minimum stipend. It is expected that 3 additional years at whatever stipend is set by the nominator will be facilitated by the faculty member.
ESE applicants are being reviewed now by the new ESE Admission Committee as they become complete and uploaded. All ESE faculty have access to review applicants at the SharePoint website. Note completed applications are in the ready to review folder while nearly completed applications may be viewed in the preview folder. In addition there will be a snapshot folder for a quick summary of current applicants. Go to http://www.gradschool.purdue.edu/ese/ then click on faculty tab and click ESE Faculty login in the drop menu. When logging in, don’t forget to put onepurdue\ before your user name.
Email me (lslee at purdue.edu<mailto:lslee at purdue.edu>) of your interest and then move forward with an official nomination submission to Christal Musser (musser at purdue.edu<mailto:musser at purdue.edu> and cc me).
An official nomination should include a letter of nomination from the potential advisor (~1 page) and a brief description/statement indicating how you plan to support the student for three additional years, which can include other fellowships, research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or a combination thereof.
We will review nominations biweekly with the first round of nominations to be reviewed by Jan 30, 2013.
Please send your application material electronically to Linda S. Lee (lslee at purdue.edu<mailto:lslee at purdue.edu>)
Note if your nomination is selected, the offer letter will state: “The goal of the ESE-Lynn fellowship is to help ensure you have funding for 4 years towards completion of your PhD. Dr. Bowling and her associated academic unit (AGRY) are committed to working with you to facilitate continued funding assuming satisfactory progress is made toward the degree, which includes consistently good academic standing in both your courses and research efforts and being timely in your committee meetings and filing of your POS (refer to ESE handbook). These additional years of support may be provided through teaching assistantships, research assistantships, training grants, other non-recruiting fellowship support, or a combination thereof through your major advisor and associated academic department.
If a Fellow changes advisors during their year on the Lynn Fellowship, the Fellowship would move with the student to the new advisor’s research program. The new advisor would need to assume responsibility for facilitating funding of the additional three years as indicated above. If the new advisor is not within the same department, then the academic home of the new advisor would assume responsibility to continue any financial support to the Fellow. If a student chooses to transfer out of the ESE IGP, there is no further responsibility for funding by either ESE or the new department/school.”
