It is hard to fathom that the ca-
lendar year is fast approaching its
end, and the next
OFA newsletter
will be written in the holiday season.
I feel compelled to
mention two items
that gave rise to
concern this past month, and
leave you to offer suggestions for
a remedy. The first was the high
proportion of "no shows" at the
Faculty Teaching Conference
dinner. 30% of those who had
signed up for dinner, with a choice of entree, failed to appear,
the majority with no explanation
to either Ana Gossweiler or Lisa
Willis, who worked so hard with
the committee to create a stimu-
lating and relevant program. To
me, this was not just about the
cost to the school, but the nega-
tive message implied. In a similar
vein, Chancellor and Mrs. Paydar
hosted a delightful evening for new faculty at their official resi-
dence. Campus administrators,
several deans and, of course,
many faculty new to IUPUI, both
junior and senior, enjoyed an
opportunity to mingle, find out
what other groups are doing and,
in some cases, make useful con-
nections. Sadly to Gail William-
son and I, no IUSD faculty at-tended. I do know that one spe-
cialty annual conference was
coincidental. Taken together,
does this mean we are failing to
foster engagement in the school?
Please let me/us know, anony-
mously or otherwise, if you have
comments or suggestions.
But for those who may have
passed by our office recently,
after months of patience, we finally received our official office
signage as seen in the photograph
below, ably taken by Tim Cen-
ters, Illustrations.
We are also moving forward
with the recruitment of a staff
person to help with running the
office, and particularly with Da-mon's responsibilities for faculty
recruitment, onboarding, con-
tract renewals etc. The office of
Staff HR is working hard on re-
viewing the 80+ applications in
order to short-list those most
suitable.
The campus focus on mentor-
ship continues. Paul Edwards has
initiated planning for our Chair
Mentoring Program, and I will be meeting with Interim EVC, Kathy
Johnson, very soon in order to
discuss her own planning strate-
gy, as she picks up the baton
from Dr. Paydar. Please remem-
ber that all faculty, whether jun-
ior, mid-career or senior, are
always welcome to participate in
the monthly meetings of the
IUSD faculty peer mentoring group, organized and convened
by Dr. Liz Ramos. October was
also the month for the ADEA
Deans' annual conference, held in
Washington DC. Dean Williams
invited me to attend, and you
may imagine that, being in the
hub of the nation's capital with so
much happening (or not) right
now, we were informed and en-
tertained by several prominent figures from mainstream politics,
healthcare, education and finance.
It would be difficult to highlight a
single event or presentation, but
if pushed, I would select the talk
by Dr. Beth Akers, an economist from the Brookings Institute,
who talked eloquently, humor-
ously and with fascinating data
regarding the cost of higher edu-
cation, the value attached to that,
and why we may need to worry
"more selectively". Overall, what
I found refreshing, and enlighten-
ing, were the number of 45 mi-
nute presentations that were
without a single PowerPoint, and some with very few. A testament
to the speakers’ ability to engage
the delegates
Finally, on the global scene,
there is an IU delegation visiting
several institutions in Cuba, this
and next week. I forwarded the
proposals submitted by IUSD
faculty and await the return and
update from the delegation. To
my knowledge, no IUPUI faculty or administrators were included.
President McRobbie will preside
at the official opening of the IU
Gateway in Berlin within the next
few days. These IU footprints
around the world are not simply
political posturing, as cynics may
suppose, but facilities that can
help develop and support global
cooperation. We are currently investigating the opportunities
that may be helpful for IUSD, in
India, given the interest from that
country in our IDP.
So, as the holidays approach, I
wish you a wonderful Thanksgiv-
ing, and I urge everyone to think
about our mission, and any sug-
gestions you
may have for
our or the Dean's Office.

Sunday, November 8th will be the 120th anniversary of the discovery of
X Rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, University of Würzburg. Few scientific discoveries
have had such an immediate and profound impact particularly on the disciplines of medicine
and dentistry, forever changing patient diagnosis and treatment. The first human radiographic
image taken and an ever since famous one, was of the hand of his wife, Bertha. Of note,
Roentgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in physics in 1901 for his discovery of x rays.
Your IUSD Library team, led by Sean Stone, Assistant Librarian, is pleased to offer you the following training sessions this month. All training sessions are held from 12:00 – 1:00 pm in the library computer lab: DS 122. Sessions are free to
IUSD faculty, staff and students. No preregistration needed, but space is limited to the first 14.
