In the Spotlight
To some people, "throwing in the towel" might mean giving up, but to Jazna Stannard it's a rally cry in her fight to help those who are homeless. As a high school freshman, she led a drive to gather soap, towels and other toiletries for her local homeless shelter. Six years later, the Soap & Towel Campaign is now a nationwide effort that benefits the homeless population in more than 30 states.
Stannard, a junior in public relations, is one of five Purdue students featured in the latest installment of "5 Students Who Move the World Forward."
Faculty and staff news
As we continue to focus on safety and security on our campus in the aftermath of the tragic events of Jan. 21, it's important to review our response to the crisis. As President Daniels has indicated, we have a good understanding of the many actions and protocols that operated as they should have, and we have identified others that could benefit from review or revision.
The Executive Policy Review Group took action on three policies at its January meeting.
Good response has led the Center for Healthy Living (CHL) to add another group to its weight management program. The new group will meet from noon to 12:50 p.m. on Tuesdays, beginning Feb. 11 and running through May 6.
The Clerical and Service Staff Advisory Committee (CSSAC) will begin accepting applications for employee and dependent grants today (Feb. 3).
"Thumbs Up" gives faculty and staff the chance to recognize others on campus for a job well done.
* Purdue Today would like to hear about those people whose hard work and commitment contribute to the success of the University as well as make Purdue a wonderful environment within which to work. To submit an item for "Thumbs Up," click here.
