Thank you to the
participants, speakers and committee members for making the 2017
Professional and Scientific Council Professional Development
Conference a great success!
More than 440 P&S
employees expanded their professional and personal development
skills, engaged in thought-provoking conversations with colleagues,
and opened their minds to new ideas from local, national, and ISU
experts.
Participant surveys are
out and feedback is already being collected! The feedback will
be analyzed and used to continue to offer valuable professional
development opportunities for P&S employees in the future.

Now Taking Nominations
for Councilors!
The Professional and
Scientific Council serves as a resource and an advocate for all
P&S employees, and you have the opportunity to represent your
fellow P&S employees as a council member! Nominations for the
2017 election will be taken through March 10. Interested parties may
nominate themselves or a colleague by following the instructions
listed on our website.
As Provost Wickert said
"Councilors develop knowledge that is used to educate fellow
employees, and encourage collaboration between departments through
their new connections. This communication, collaboration and sharing
of information benefits the entire University." See more in his
letter here, as well as letters of support from other university
administrators.

Andy Almquist, Systems
Analyst II, IT Services
Andy joined the
security team in 2013. His constant drive for personal development is
an impressive and welcome attribute. The internet can be a scary
place; from hackers and predators to evil doers and thieves.
Information security employees assist the university community with
recovery efforts when that "darkness" enters online lives.
Digital forensic investigations are time consuming and labor
intensive, requiring long periods of data acquisition followed by
detailed analysis. Sensing the urgency of these matters and because
he truly cares about the "customers" he serves, Andy works
expeditiously for resolution. Read more here.
