Blue Key is extending a much-appreciated volunteer opportunity for Tech faculty and staff during the Winter Carnival All-Nighter!

Wednesday (Feb. 7) is the day the All-Nighter statue building begins, and two fire cages run during the evening: one located by the AES statue and another by the Husky statue. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up on our 2024 All-Nighter Fire Pit spreadsheet. All that is required from volunteers is that they ensure the fire pits stay lit and do not get out of control. They will also serve as reporting bodies to local law enforcement and Blue Key for safety concerns.

If there are any questions, please email Blue Key at bluekey@mtu.edu. Other than that, enjoy staying warm and seeing the statue building happen live on campus!

1. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Sense of Belonging

Digital Measures at Michigan Tech (DM) now allows users to enter and report on data related to diversity, equity, inclusion and sense of belonging (DEIS) activity. While not required, users and reviewers are encouraged to report on and review these records in support of DEIS efforts as outlined in the Faculty Handbook.

Users will find a new screen within the General Information section of the DM Activities homepage titled "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Sense of Belonging (DEIS)." This screen allows users to search through existing records from other screens to identify records that are relevant to DEIS. Users will be asked to enter an explanation as to how identified records are relevant to DEIS. There is also a narrative field that allows users to enter overarching statements about their DEIS activity.

The Faculty Activity Reports (FARs) have a new corresponding DEIS section that appears directly preceding the Annual Faculty Narrative section. This section will list any relevant DEIS activities, along with explanation of relevance and the DEIS narrative statement. Reviewers are encouraged to take this data into consideration during the review process.

An overview video of the new screen and reporting can be found at Panopto-HuskyCast.

2. Updates to Annual Advising Summary Screen and Advising Section of Faculty Activity Reports

Some significant changes have been made as to how Annual Advising Summary records are handled within Digital Measures at Michigan Tech (DM). The changes are intended to better capture and report on advising activities outside of traditional graduate student advising.

While the Annual Advising Summary screen itself has only been minimally revised, the Advising section of the Faculty Activity Reports (FARs) has been modified to encompass more data from the Annual Advising Summary screen by academic year. Users can now add a general annual advising statement via the narrative field that invites users to speak on general and specific advising points that are not captured elsewhere in the FARs. The revised section will now report on many more nontraditional advising relationships for users serving in those roles. The changes also make it easier for users serving as academic advisors to accurately report on their efforts.

Users are encouraged to visit the newly revised screen to ensure they have indeed entered all advising roles and reviewers are encouraged to take the additional data now available in the FARs into consideration during the review process.

3. Update on Transition from TechTracS to Cayuse for Sponsored Research Activity

Information Technology (IT) is still in the process of converting the automatic loading of Sponsored Research data to Digital Measures at Michigan Tech (DM) from Cayuse. Loading of data from TechTracS to DM was suspended on July 1, 2023, in anticipation of transitioning to the loading of this data from Cayuse. It was hoped that the new loading process would be in place by the end of October 2023, but the process is taking longer than expected. The new projected date of completion is March 1.

Meanwhile, we are continuing to ask DM users and reviewers to be patient. If you are a user who has reporting due and you have missing and/or inaccurate Sponsored Research records, please contact the DM administrator. If you are reviewing DM reporting, please be aware that Sponsored Research records may be incomplete or might appear in a section that is unexpected.

College of Engineering Dean Audra Morse has selected Nathan Manser, professor of practice from the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences (GMES), as this week's featured instructor in the Deans’ Teaching Showcase. Manser will be recognized at an end-of-term event with other showcase members and is a candidate for the CTL Instructional Award Series.

Manser’s broad educational background in mining engineering, environmental engineering and business administration; extensive industry experience; and professional licensure give him the ability to develop courses that are engaging, informative and practical. He actively participates in the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME), which enriches his teaching with practical insights. His teaching style is characterized by energy, clarity and practicality. Leveraging his extensive professional network, Manser frequently invites industry professionals, including alumni, to his classes, providing real-world examples and experiences. He encourages his students to network and actively facilitates their connections to the professional community, including the annual SME conference.

Most importantly, Manser has the skills to fully prepare his students for successful careers and professional certifications. Students consistently name Manser as their best teacher, attributing their success to his teaching and mentorship. Former students universally praise him as an outstanding and enthusiastic instructor, emphasizing the lasting impact of his mentorship on their professional and personal development after graduation. One student stated, “Having Dr. Manser as a professor greatly impacted my interest in the mineral industry. Dr. Manser's professional and personable approach made his courses practical and up-to-date, shedding light on the broad opportunities in the mining and geoscience industries.” Another student added, “I can attribute much of my college success to Dr. Nathan Manser. He was the most memorable and influential academic professional I encountered during my studies at Michigan Tech.”

Manser's commitment to excellence is further exemplified by his role in mentoring students for one of the most competitive events in the mineral industry field: the highly competitive SME/National Stone, Sand, and Gravel Association (NSSGA) Student Design Competition. This dedication is exemplified by the team's remarkable success. In the 2023-24 competition, Michigan Tech once again advanced to the top six nationally. This prestigious event draws the best and brightest from leading mining universities across the country, and our team's success places them among this elite group. Manser will accompany the team to the 2024 SME Annual Conference and Expo in Phoenix, Arizona, where they will present their innovative solutions and compete against other top-tier universities. This accomplishment highlights the caliber of our program and underscores the exceptional guidance and mentorship provided by Manser.

Aleksey Smirnov, GMES chair, summed it up: “Dr. Manser makes himself readily available to help students succeed, not only in class, but also outside the classroom, allowing them to grow into successful professionals.”

“Dedicated faculty members like Nathan Manser allow our students to compete at the national level,” Morse added. “And I thank him for giving our students that chance.”

From Jan. 9-13, several faculty and students from the Department of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) embarked on an exciting journey to the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival for Region III. This festival, widely known as KCACTF, stands as a beacon for emerging talent in the realm of theater arts. It’s a vibrant stage where students get to shine, compete and nurture their artistic skills on a regional platform.

Associate Professor Kent Cyr and Assistant Professor Jeff Sherwood played integral roles in the festival’s planning and execution. Cyr served a remarkable sixth-year stint as the festival technical director, and Sherwood served as co-vice chair of design, technology and management.

Adding to those contributions, Sherwood, Cyr, Distinguished Professor Christopher Plummer and Visiting Assistant Professor Terry Dana Jachimiak II led workshops for eager students hailing from Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and parts of Ohio. Plummer was also recognized at the festival and received the 2024 KCACTF Region III Michigan Faculty Service Award.

Attending VPA students had the opportunity to participate in professional workshops, attend juried shows, network with professionals from all corners of the country and showcase their own work in various competitions.

Evelina Cremeens earned the Regional Sound Design Award for her outstanding work on “Hamlet.” Conner Pierson, collaborating with a talented team from different colleges and universities, clinched an Honorable Mention in the Design Storm category. Sommerdai Kier and Riy Dalman dazzled everyone by winning multiple awards, including the Fastest Sound setup and the coveted Gold Award in Tech Olympics. Tara Estrada’s swift knot-tying skills also earned her a first-place finish in the Fastest Knots section of Tech Olympics.

Chemistry Seminar with ACS Editors

The editors of the American Chemical Society (ACS) will be presenting at this week's Chemistry Seminar, which will be held virtually from 3-4 p.m. today (Feb. 2) via Zoom (use password 276760).

The ACS editors presenting the seminar are:

• Prashant V. Kamat, John A. Zahm Professor of Science at Notre Dame University
• Raymond E. Schaak, DuPont Professor of Materials Chemistry at Penn State University
• Jillian M. Buriak, Professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Alberta

Their presentation is titled “Composing an Effective and Interesting Scientific Paper: A Balanced Combination of Science, Data, Ethics, and a Story.”

From the abstract:
Sharing scientific knowledge through publications is an integral part of a career in research. Since more and more organizations evaluate scientific productivity by scholarly publication rates, the impact of published work becomes an important issue. New researchers face the challenge of mastering the art of scientific publication to draw attention to their new scientific findings. Whether or not we want to describe science in such terms, scientific publishing is competitive in nature, and thus early career scientists must compete with their more experienced peers for recognition. While the electronic age has made the publication process easier and more efficient, optimizing the structure of a scientific paper requires a certain degree of learned skill and proficiency. It is important to realize that a well-composed manuscript with a compelling scientific story that can appeal to the journal’s readership, and your peers, will see a higher rate of success. There is no greater compliment to one’s hard work than seeing it cited, reproduced, and discussed.

The three of us are longstanding editors at ACS Publications, and have handled many thousands of manuscripts. Our lecture will address the following questions:

• What are the key steps that are necessary to compose an effective paper?
• What is involved in submitting a manuscript and how is it handled by the journal once submitted?
• How to respond to reviewers’ comments?
• What is self-plagiarism, and when/how can you reuse your own text, figures, data?
• What about ChatGPT and other LLM/AI bots? Can they be used, and how?

Presenter bios:

Kamat is the John A. Zahm Professor of Science at Notre Dame University, and has been an editor at ACS Publications since 2003 (associate editor at J, Phys. Chem., deputy and founding editor of JPC Letters, and founding editor-in-chief of ACS Energy Letters).

Schaak is the DuPont Professor of Materials Chemistry at Penn State University. He has been an editor at ACS Publications since 2010 (associate editor at ACS Nano and founding deputy editor of ACS Nanoscience Au).

Buriak is the Canada Research Chair at the University of Alberta, and has been an editor at ACS Publications since 2009 (associate editor at ACS Nano, editor-in-chief of Chemistry of Materials, executive editor of ACS Nano).
