msepostdoc-list Personal Safety in ARMS

[Jennifer Louise Fifer]

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?groupFilterOption=0

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
