Resources are available to assist faculty, staff as benefits enrollment deadline approaches

The deadline to enroll in 2018 benefits is 6 p.m. ET Nov. 5, and Human Resources is encouraging faculty and staff to enroll as early as possible. Enrolling sooner rather than later will allow employees to avoid high traffic on Benefitfocus, the online enrollment system, resulting in faster service.

E-scooters at Purdue are sweet as jelly

There's Jelly all over the place at Purdue. Not the sticky spread, but a new e-scooter brand with a goofy name. And University officials are thrilled to see them. Seriously. That's because Jelly isn’t just yet another e-scooter brand, but the name given to a campus-wide research project — likely the first of its kind — on best practices for using e-scooters in an urban environment. In the coming weeks, 40 scooters will be distributed across Purdue's campus to begin the initial four-week research project.
