October 7, 2022

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and all members of the Michigan Tech community are encouraged to participate. The purpose of NDEAM is to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. This year's theme, "Disability: Part of the Equity Equation," reflects the role people with disabilities play in a diverse and inclusive American workforce.

For specific ideas about how the Michigan Tech community can support NDEAM, see the 2022 NDEAM website.

Suggestions range from simple, such as putting up a poster, to comprehensive, such as hosting a disability education program for your department.

We all play an important part in fostering a more inclusive workforce — one where every person is recognized for their abilities — every day of every month.

The Tech Forward Initiative for Sustainability and Resilience (ISR) at Michigan Tech invites applications for educational innovation projects that increase student exposure to sustainability and resilience in formal coursework. The ISR seeks to incentivize the creation of new sustainability curricula through new and existing coursework so more students across Michigan Tech learn about sustainability, resilience and the connection of each to their domain expertise.

Applications for Educational Innovation support will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. Proposals submitted before Dec. 1 will be reviewed no later than Dec. 10. We anticipate offering another opportunity in spring 2023, contingent on funding availability.

Proposals may include support for hourly student work, summer salary or materials/supplies to develop new courses, revamp existing courses or host workshops for educating faculty and/or staff on sustainability education. Proposals may also include funds to support or incentivize participation from students, faculty and/or staff, and/or materials or supplies for coursework innovation.

Faculty, graduate students, and staff are all eligible to apply. Applications can be submitted by individuals or teams; graduate students are encouraged to collaborate with a faculty member to submit an application.

Individual awards will be made for up to $5,000; we anticipate most awards will be in the range of $3,000 to $5,000, but encourage budgets that meet the project needs. Potential applicants are encouraged to reach out with questions about their potential budget.

Submitted proposals should be no more than two pages. Each proposal should include:

• A narrative description of the proposed educational innovation. This description should include at least one stand-alone paragraph that clearly describes how this educational innovation aligns with the broader goal of ensuring all students at Michigan Tech are exposed to sustainability and resilience through the curricula, including how many students are likely to be impacted by this innovation and how this innovation will be maintained in the curriculum.
  
  
• A detailed budget and a proposed project timeline. Project work should take place no later than fall 2023; the implementation timeline is flexible but should be described in the proposal.
  
  
• A list of deliverables to be provided to ISR at the end of the project period, such as a completed syllabus, a new course proposal prepared for submission, a workshop report, etc., to be determined and described by the applicant.

If you have any questions about a potential project proposal, please reach out to ask! The ISR Working Group (ISR WG) will review applications and contact applicants regarding decisions. For questions and to submit your application, please email Robert Handler at rhandler@mtu.edu.

On Thursday (Oct. 13) at noon in the Van Pelt and Opie Library, Heather Love of the University of Waterloo will discuss the interplay between robot literature and robot technology in a talk titled, “R.U.R.’s Robot Rebellion: Cybernetics Lineages and Cultural Legacies.”

Love explores the legacy of an imagined narrative within contemporary media and tech culture, tracing a lineage from the robot rebellion in Karel Čapek’s cautionary 1921 play R.U.R. to the cybernetic machines developed during WWII.

This lecture is partially funded and sponsored by the Michigan Tech Visiting Professor Program, which is funded by a grant to the Office of the Provost from the State of Michigan's King-Chávez-Parks Initiative.

Post-COVID burnout, disengagement and demoralization have become widespread throughout academia, as in the broader workforce. This week, we highlight two recent review essays in the Chronicle of Higher Education. 

In Rebecca Pope-Ruark's essay, she explains burnout as “a collection of related symptoms, under the umbrellas of (1) exhaustion, (2) cynicism or depersonalization, and (3) feelings of reduced professional efficacy.” She calls for institutional transformations that reorient goals toward core educational values, humane policies, and balanced relationships.

In Kevin R. McClure's essay, he reports that current faculty burnout is precipitated by unfair treatment and excessive workloads, among other factors. Underrepresented faculty have long been disadvantaged by such conditions; this is an opportunity to improve higher education’s workplace conditions for everyone. College leaders, McClure warns, need to think beyond quick fixes and superficial tokens of appreciation and revisit meaningful “supports, flexibility, and grace” that many enacted during the COVID pandemic.

The ADVANCE Academy for Responsive Leadership (ARL) supports university leaders with the knowledge and tools needed to change university culture, policies and practices in support of an inclusive, humane and sustainable institution.

Today’s feature was shared with us by the the ADVANCE PI 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.

“Familia” is a term Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) Director Gabe Escobedo uses when addressing the various CDI groups. It is a term I did not fully understand until this past weekend, when students from the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), Keweenaw Pride, Society of African American Men (SAAM), Hillel, McNair's Women in Engineering Hall, Black Students Association (BSA) and the Smithing Guild came to my farm to pick apples and press cider.

Last Friday evening (Sept. 30), so many students from these groups came to pick apples that I lost count. We headed out to where the wild apple trees are and there was not only a field of apples, but a field of students. They were hiking, running, climbing trees, visiting and playing with Moose (our Labrador retriever). Most of these folks did not know each other, but by the end of apple picking, were hanging out together, familia.

On Sunday, the group returned — many of the apple pickers were there along with other students. Once again, folks did different things. Some went and walked the trails on our farm; others held bunnies and chicks, played with our dogs, caught chickens, and fed and petted alpacas and goats. I so enjoyed seeing a student just sitting on my porch petting our dog. Someone else was sitting on the ground with two chickens next to a woman who was cuddling a bunny. Then there was cider pressing. It was great to see how everyone pitched in to grind the apples and press them. Everyone left with cider, but I also hope with something more: familia.

SWE and my family enjoyed being with everyone and are looking forward to next year’s cider pressing.

Kartik Iyer (ME-EM/Physics) and Ph.D. student Ashvin Vinodh are co-authors of a letter published in Physical Review Research.

The letter is titled "Asymmetry of Velocity Increments in Turbulence."

The publication is a collaboration with Katepalli Sreenivasan of New York University.

Synopsis:
At any point in the flow, moderate sized fluid parcels in turbulent motion get pulled and pushed randomly in the direction of mean motion. Pulling and pushing are unequal; the stronger the push and pull, the more unequal they become. This paper elaborates this important physical trait.
