To show our appreciation for our employees’ extraordinary efforts as we transitioned back to regular campus operations, Michigan Tech will provide three paid seasonal days on Dec. 27, 28 and 29, in addition to its regularly scheduled holidays for employees.

“The extraordinary efforts of Michigan Tech’s faculty and staff were instrumental in navigating the historic circumstances resulting from the pandemic,” said Rick Koubek, president. “With this in mind, we hope the extra time off provides our employees more opportunity to focus on family and friends.”

Employees whose services are necessary on campus on these days will receive equal time off at a later date in coordination with their supervisors.

The University will resume its regular holiday schedule in 2022.

The Retirement Supplemental Voluntary Program (RSVP) is a voluntary retirement program offered to eligible Michigan Tech employees. The enrollment period during which an employee may sign their RSVP election ends Monday (Nov. 15).

Employees electing the monetary retirement option must retire on or before June 30, 2022. The monetary retirement option provides a benefit equal to 50% of the eligible employee’s annual salary (nine-month salary for faculty), up to the cap amount of $75,607 at the time of their actual retirement date.

As announced in July, the University will gradually phase out the RSVP over the next four fiscal years (FY22-FY25).

For further clarification, please see the RSVP policy and the RSVP matrix, which explains the gradual phase-out of all RSVP options.

Prior to electing RSVP, employees must meet with the Benefits Office for a confidential meeting to verify eligibility. RSVP program information may be found online.

RSVP questions may be directed to Benefit Services at 906-487-2517 or benefits@mtu.edu.

The COVID-19 pandemic has called attention to the penalties and impediments that women in STEM face as mothers, including a multipronged “maternal wall” with career-long ramifications.

This week’s Roundup takes you to a virtual conference, titled “Motherhood and career retention in STEM: Systemic barriers and actionable solutions,” held on May 5. The event was sponsored by Mothers in Science and features lucid summaries and original research into the challenges and structural barriers for women in STEM, and in faculty careers more broadly, as well as actionable solutions.

A summary of the conference issues appeared in The Scientist magazine, featuring Mothers in Science co-founder Isabel Torres, who holds a Ph.D. in genetics and is a mother of four. Refreshingly, the presentation videos often reveal the presence of children, a deliberate strategy to make visible the work that must go on behind the scenes by academic mothers.

Today’s feature was shared with us by the ADVANCE team. If you have an article you think we should feature, please email it to advance-mtu@mtu.edu and we will consider adding it to the ADVANCE Weekly Roundup.

The ADVANCE Weekly Roundup is brought to you by ADVANCE at Michigan Tech, an NSF-funded initiative dedicated to improving faculty career success, retention, diversity, equity and inclusion. Past articles are available on the ADVANCE Newsblog.

Doctoral candidate Steven Stelly (KIP) will defend his Ph.D. dissertation Thursday (Nov. 18) at 3 p.m. This virtual defense will be held online only. All are welcome to attend via Zoom.

Stelly's dissertation is titled "The Impact of Food Deprivation on Cardiovascular Physiology."

Ph.D. in Rhetoric, Theory, and Culture candidate Emma Lozon (HU) will defend her doctoral dissertation Wednesday (Nov. 17) at 9 a.m. This virtual defense will be held online only. Attendance is invited via Zoom.

Lozon's dissertation is titled "Food as medicine and pleasure: Ecological and feminist critiques of healthy eating rhetoric on social media."

From the abstract:
This dissertation explores healthy eating messages circulated on social media, considering the role of rhetoric in shaping possibilities for healthy food access. Assembling tactical technical communication with ecological and feminist rhetorical frameworks, the analysis considers the interplay of institutional and user-produced healthy eating texts with a view toward ideologies and rhetorical strategies shaping access to diet. 

Ph.D. in Rhetoric, Theory, and Culture candidate Tolulope Odebunmi (HU) will defend her doctoral dissertation Monday (Nov. 15) at 3 p.m. This virtual defense will be held online only. Attendance is invited via Zoom.

Odebunmi's dissertation is titled "The Language of Development in the Rhetoric of Liberian Presidents."

From the abstract:
This dissertation contests the framing of 'development' in Liberian presidential discourse — Inaugural and State of the nation addresses of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and George Weah through Reisigl & Wodak's (2016) Discourse Historical Analysis (DHA) and conceptions of political ideologies (Chilton & Schaffner, 2002; van Dijk, 2006; Fairclough & Wodak, 1997). Aristotelian rhetoric complements my analysis. 

M.S. candidate Tonie Johnson (BioMed) will present his master's defense next Friday (Nov. 19) at 1 p.m. in the Minerals and Materials Engineering Building (M&M), Room 610. The defense will also be accessible virtually  via Zoom.

MS Defense: Tessa Steenwinkel, BioSci

M.S. candidate Tessa Steenwinkel (BioSci) will present their master's defense today (Nov. 12) at 9:30 a.m. This virtual defense will be presented online only. Attendance is invited via Zoom. 

Steenwinkel's defense is titled "The Effect of Nutrition on Longevity and Fertility in Diverse Drosophila: A TOR-Mediated Process."

From the abstract:
Nutrition and growth are strongly linked, but not much is known about how nutrition leads to growth. To understand the connection between nutrition through diet, growth and/or proliferation, we need to study the phenotypes resulting from the activation and inhibition of central metabolic pathways. Here I use the model organism Drosophila melanogaster (D. mel.) and three non-model Drosophila species with different dietary needs, Drosophila guttifera (D. gut.), Drosophila deflecta (D. def.), and Drosophila tripunctata (D. tri.), to study the effects of dietary amino acid availability in these diverse flies on fecundity and longevity. In addition, I inhibited the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) pathway to test how inhibition interplays with the nutritional stimuli in these four fruit fly species.
