September 7, 2023

The following individuals have agreed to serve on the Vice President for Student Affairs search committee:

• Suzanne Sanregret — President's Council representative
• Courtney Archambeau — University Senate staff representative
• Laura Putwen — Division of Student Affairs representative
• Nick Stevens — President's Council representative
• Robert Hutchinson — University Senate faculty representative
• Konraad VanDyke — Undergraduate Student Government student representative
• Matt Sisson — Graduate Student Government student representative
• Susan Sullivan — Equal Opportunity Compliance and Title IX representative (ad hoc)
• Megan Goke — Human Resources representative (ad hoc)

The position is currently open to Michigan Tech employees who meet the minimum qualifications. The committee will meet at the end of September to consider all internal applicants.

Did you know that Michigan Tech has a team on campus that meets regularly to discuss, plan for and train for emergencies? Michigan Tech’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is staffed by a standing body of qualified campus partners whose goal is to keep the campus prepared for all types of hazards, ensuring that the University can quickly respond and recover from emergencies.

While not always visible, the EOC is constantly busy behind the scenes, working to prepare Michigan Tech for a variety of incidents.

Some of this work includes:

• Conducting tabletop exercises
• Attending trainings
• Reviewing case studies
• Inviting guest speakers to brief the EOC about incidents they have encountered in their jurisdiction
• Conducting functional exercises with other community partners (i.e., fire stations, hospitals, health departments, etc.)
• Acquiring appropriate technology/equipment to maximize mitigation and response efforts
• Prepare event action plans for large events (i.e., sports, Winter Carnival, commencement, etc.)

In addition to working behind the scenes, the EOC becomes fully activated when:

• an emergency requires a multi-agency response;
• an emergency will have a prolonged response and recovery period;
• when a local or state emergency is declared; or
• when the EOC’s activation will be advantageous to the successful management of an incident.

Once activated, the EOC operates as a force multiplier, assisting first responders with whatever needs they may need to ensure the damage caused by an incident is minimized. While on-scene operations are conducted by an incident command team (ICT), the EOC supports and helps coordinate ICT functions by facilitating communications between emergency responders, University officials and the community, ensuring critical information is shared in a timely fashion.

Because every situation and incident is unique, the EOC is also highly adaptable and can be fully or partially activated; and, in some instances, a task force or working group rather than an EOC may be more appropriate.

As a standing practice, the EOC is partially activated for all major events at Michigan Tech, such as commencement, K-Day, Career Fair, Winter Carnival, hockey, football, etc.

For more information about what an EOC is and its function during an emergency, please visit the Federal Emergency Management Association website.

If you or your department would like to know more about Michigan Tech’s EOC or would like a member of the EOC to come speak at one of your meetings, please reach out to Deputy Chief Reid DeVoge at rdevoge@mtu.edu.

Nominations will be accepted for two titles recognizing the achievements of some of Michigan Tech’s most outstanding faculty members.

The Distinguished Professor title recognizes outstanding faculty members who have made substantial contributions to the University and their discipline but are not presently recognized through an endowed position or faculty fellowship. Deans are encouraged to acknowledge the achievements of distinguished professors by contributing discretionary funds to support the recipients’ research, teaching or outreach.

The University Professor title recognizes faculty members who have made outstanding scholarly contributions to the University and their discipline over a substantial period of time. Recipients of this award are eligible to receive $10,000 annually from the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, which can be used to support university professors' research and/or creative work. In addition, deans are encouraged to supplement each university professor’s salary with an annual bonus of $5,000.

Nominations for both positions must be submitted to your respective dean by Oct. 20. Nomination packets will be reviewed by the Deans Council and an advisory committee organized by President Koubek. Eligibility and application/reappointment requirements, as well as additional information, can be found online.

ADVANCE Partnership Webinar: 'Validity and Fairness in Promotion and Tenure'

Join us for an exciting talk: "Exploring Fairness and Validity in Promotion and Tenure: Where and When is Fairness in Jeopardy?" on Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. EST. All faculty, staff, and students are welcome to attend; chairs and members of tenure, promotion and reappointment (TPR) committees are strongly encouraged to attend.

Please register to attend this virtual presentation.

Esteemed researchers Christiane Spitzmueller, vice provost for academic affairs and atrategy at the University of California, Merced, and Juan Madera, the Curtis L. Carlson Endowed Professor at the University of Houston, will be presenting. They will share insights from a comprehensive study featuring 10,000-plus external review letters (ERLs) across 2,000-plus promotion cases from 10 universities.

A couple of highlights from the research include:

• LatinX and Black faculty are substantially less likely to be favorably evaluated by promotion and tenure (P&T) committees than majority faculty. These effects are particularly pronounced for women of color and for unanimous P&T voting outcomes.
• Diversity, equity and inclusion language in external review letters is more common in letters for LatinX and Black faculty, and more DEI language in letters is linked to more negative P&T outcomes for Black and LatinX faculty but not for white or Asian faculty.
• Innovation and entrepreneurship activities are not rewarded in P&T processes, with faculty with patents and innovation language in their ERLs having a much lower likelihood of being favorably reviewed.

BioSci Seminar Series Speaker: Adriana San Miguel

Adriana San Miguel will present as part of the Department of Biological Sciences (BioSci) Seminar Series today (Sept. 7) from 3-4 p.m. in the Great Lakes Research Center, GLRC 202.

San Miguel will present "High-content analysis of neurodegeneration and stress in C. elegans."

San Miguel is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University. She is also part of the NC State's Synthetic and Systems Biology Cluster. Her work combines engineering and biology and focuses on developing tools to perform high-throughput automated experiments with the model organism C. elegans. These tools are used to better understand aging, stress and neurodegeneration. 

San Miguel received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering at the Monterrey Institute of Technology in Mexico and obtained a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech, where she worked with Sven Behrens. She trained as a postdoctoral fellow with Hang Lu at Georgia Tech and with Marc Vidal at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She has received several awards, which include the NIA K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award, DOD New Investigator Award, the AMED Interstellar Initiative on Healthy Longevity, and a Goodnight Early Career Innovator Award.

From the abstract:
C. elegans has served as a crucial model organism to understand a plethora of fundamental biological phenomena. In particular, these nematodes are excellent model systems to study aging and neurodegeneration. Being transparent and amenable to easy genetic manipulation, C. elegans allows analysis of many biological processes by in vivo microscopy. In our work, we incorporate microfluidics and machine learning to enable rapid quantitative analysis and sorting of individual C. elegans in high-throughput. These systems allow the analysis of complex and subtle phenotypes at the cellular and subcellular level from fluorescent images, and the genetic pathways that modulate them. While C. elegans is commonly used, most analyses focus on rough readouts, such as viability. Combining high-resolution microscopy with computer vision presents an opportunity to look deeper into the effects of environmental and genetic perturbations in C. elegans. In this talk, I will present work on high-content pipelines for analysis of aging, stress, and neurodegeneration induced by environmental exposures, which have revealed robust evidence of the link between structure and function in neurons and early biomarkers for aging.
