Purdue Northwest College of Engineering and Sciences

It's Day of Giving today at Purdue Northwest

Our college has a Student Emergency Fund that provides short-term emergency financial support for when unexpected complications threaten to derail our students' progress or continued enrollment.

Our students shouldn't need to decide between paying a medical bill or a tuition bill. They shouldn't need to miss an exam because their car's at the repair shop. A relatively small amount of money at the right moment can mean the difference between graduating and dropping out!

If you are able, please consider donating $10 today and sharing this message with your network. We would be grateful for your support. Every little bit helps. Thank you!!

Here's a direct link to the College of Engineering & Science Student Emergency Fund donation site: https://dayofgiving.pnw.edu/donate?campaign_id=261055

This webinar is the first of a three-part series from the Great Lakes Commission (GLC): Realizing Resilience: Coordinating efforts from across the Great Lakes basin. The webinar series is offered in advance of the Midwest Climate Resilience Conference, scheduled for October 20-22 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Staff from the University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership (MCAP) will preview the upcoming Midwest Climate Resilience Conference, and the Great Lakes Commission will provide an overview of GLC's Action Plan for a Resilient Great Lakes Basin . This Action Plan helps to prioritize basin-wide efforts and forms a roadmap to advance climate resilience in the region.

In subsequent webinars, participants will hear from agencies and organizations that participate with the GLC’s Standing Committee on Climate Resilience. Webinar speakers will share examples of resilience implementation efforts throughout the region, referring to the goals of the Action Plan. We look forward to presenting this webinar series to help achieve a common baseline understanding of Great Lakes resilience efforts among participants prior to the conference.

Stay tuned for more details for future GLC webinars, planned for early August and late September, as part of the series Realizing Resilience: Coordinating efforts from across the Great Lakes basin!

Trait Anxiety is Weakly Associated with Arterial Stiffness in Healthy Adults | Physiology | American Physiological Society Previous work has shown that trait anxiety is a predictor of resting blood pressure and sympathetic nerve activity in humans. Sympathetic activity, blood pressure, and arterial stiffness are often linked, therefore we sought to determine if trait anxiety would be positively associated with arterial....
