Professional Development Seminar Feb. 5 2019
It is the pleasure of the Professional Development Chairs to invite
you to a Professional Development Seminar tomorrow, from 11:30 – 12:30, in Lilly 3118. The speaker will be ABE’s own Dr. Porterfield,
who will speak on Science Policy, framed by his own experience as a
scientist with NASA. It’s bound to be a fun-filled, information packed seminar, and we can’t wait to see all of you there! A free lunch will be provided.
Superbowl Party!
This Sunday (Feb 3rd) we will be gathering together to watch the Super Bowl at “The Palace” (122 N 3rd Street, Lafayette) which is a large apartment on the top floor directly above Chumley’s. Kick-off for the game is at 6:30 pm, so you can arrive as early as 6 pm and watch the game. ABE GSA will provide snacks (chips, popcorn, etc.), drinks (soda, water) and potentially some pizzas.
We hope to see you there!
2019 ABE Recruitment Weekend-Hosts Needed!
Several prospective students will be visiting Purdue to learn more about our program and to see if it is the right fit for them. For the past six years, ABE has offered the option of staying with a current grad student from our department to these visiting students, and it has been very successful.
This year, we need your help again! And we need it NOW!!!
If you are able to volunteer to host a prospective student on the nights of February 7 and 8, please follow the link below to fill out the survey. Please sign up by February 1st so that we have time to pair you with a student.

Please direct any questions to Jonathan or Gabe (joverto@purdue.edu orgwilfong@purdue.edu).
2019 ABE Recruitment Weekend Poster Session!
On Thursday, February 7th ABE will host prospective students. As part of the events, we will hold a short Research Showcase Poster Session where the prospective students, current students, and faculty will be able to interact with and learn about some of the research efforts in our department. We are looking for about 30 current graduate students to present posters. Ideally, we want posters that have already been printed as this event is not intended to add more work. We would like to save that effort and present at the GSA symposium in March. If you have a poster that is yearning to be shared again, we need you! You will have the opportunity to make an impact on the prospective students’ impressions of the department and hopefully help them choose Purdue ABE!
The Research Showcase Poster Session will be held on February 7th from 5:30 – 6:30 PM in the PMU South Ballroom. Dinner will be served immediately after and we encourage you to stay for dinner.
If you are willing to participate, please fill out this survey by February 1st. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Dr. Abby Engelberth aengelbe@purdue.edu.
Thank you for your willingness to contribute to ABE!
Spring 2019 Philanthropy Opportunities
January: We’ll be going back to Hanna community center to help kids with homework again! We did this last semester and everyone that went really enjoyed it. It will be Monday January 28th at 3-4 pm at the community center in Lafayette. Same as last time, there will be no official carpool but if you need a ride let me know and we’ll see what we can do.
+Bonus January event: You probably already got an email asking for donations for the Lafayette homeless center. The drop-off is conveniently located in Pfendler, see fliers for more details.
February: We will be helping out at Imagination Station for their “Love is Sweet” lab on Saturday February 16th to bring the joy of chemistry to children of all ages. Simple chemistry kits will be provided, so you really just need to show up! Times are flexible: you can volunteer for any combination of one-hour slots from 9:30-3 pm (one hour plus arriving about 20 minutes early to get familiar with the set up). We will need the most help from about 11-1 pm, but helping with any of the time slots would be great! If you are interested or have questions, please Jenny me! Let Jenny know the end of the day next Wednesday, February 13th.
March: No philanthropy event this month. If you’re just dying to help people out, consider offering your services to the Symposium Chairs! I’m sure they would appreciate extra hands.
April: TBD: If anyone is interested in doing a science demo for the kids at the Hanna center, let me know and we may be able to schedule it for April. Otherwise we may do more homework, could help with a spring clean up, or might go to a soup kitchen. If you like any of those ideas or have more let me know.
Email Jenny Stevens with questions: steve238@purdue.edu
Hope to see you all at these activities!
Spring 2019 Graduate Career Fair Flyers and Workshops
Please see below for professional development opportunities for grad students:
(1) there is a great new workshop this semester called “Career Fair 101” for graduate students who may not have attended career fairs in the past and are not sure if or how to to attend one,
(2) students that register for the fair on the CCO website will be invited to the professional networking event the evening before the fair!
2019 Symposium Callout!
Are you interested in participating in our sixth annual Graduate Industrial Research Symposium?
Then come to our callout on December 11, 12:00PM-1PM in LILY G401. There will be free food!
Our next Symposium will be March 25, 2019. Develop your leadership and management skills by volunteering to chair one of our Symposium committees! We are looking for grad students interested in being marketing, 3MT, session, and poster chairs.
This year, our departmental Symposium will partner with Purdue’s 150 Years of Giant Leaps and other departments on campus so this will be an excellent opportunity to meet new people. The theme will be Sustainability.
Time commitment: 1-2 hours per week. Typically, we will have biweekly-weekly meetings during the Spring semester.
The mission and goals of our Symposium can be found here.
Next Generation Scholars – Poster Presentation Opportunity
On November 28th at 8:30-9:45am, PGSG will be hosting the Next Generation Scholars Program where they will bring high school students and have them listen to graduate and undergraduates present their posters. If students sign up, they will not only get free breakfast and a t-shirt, but also have their poster printed for free.
If someone has a poster and would like to get more practice, they are more than welcome to sign up as well. I know it’s a bit early in the day, but K-12 outreach is a great service component that could be added to a CV, and is a good opportunity to practice public speaking. If y’all could get the word out about this, that would be great. Sign up link is: bit.ly/2Phkret .
