As we make the transition from 2015 to 2016, we look to build on the accomplishments of the past year, and to the challenges and goals of the New Year.
We are always in a state of plan- ning, recruitment, appointment, and seeking ways by which to en- hance our faculty career develop- ment. This is of crucial importance now, as we look to succession planning in several key areas. A significant number of our col- leagues will be retiring over the next few years, and this necessi- tates our careful and strategic con- sideration of requirements, deter- mined by curriculum and accredita- tion needs, as well as a broader vision of educational and patient care horizons.
This occurs, not as a school in isolation, but against and within the backdrop of our parent campus and university. With the appoint- ment of a new chancellor of IUPUI, several key positions on campus have changed, and these impact us.
We already have faculty occupying important administrative roles.
Examples are Dr. Dominique Galli in the Center for Research and Learning, Professor Gail William- son in the Office of Academic Af- fairs, and Dr. Laura Romito with IPE. In all cases, these responsibili- ties have expanded or will be doing so. This illustrates the respect with which IUSD colleagues are viewed in the broader academic communi- ty. I am reminded again of the three pillar groups within IUSD: our fac- ulty, staff and students. When I came into this office, almost a year and a half ago, I had not anticipated
interacting with all three. It has been an educational benefit for me, creating a better understanding of some issues and providing a plat- form upon which to build, for ex- ample, more creative ways by which we may recognize faculty and staff achievement, as well as dealing with the occasional issues of inappropriate behavior.
I have already asked the Depart- ment Chairs, and am now making the similar request school wide to help recognize those who have made notable contributions to the profession. This may be either themselves or on behalf of others.
Please let our office know so that they can be honored by the school.
Of course, this may also be done through Leslie Flowers in
"NewsBites".
December was dominated for me personally by two activities: I finally signed off on all the Faculty Annual Reports, which I wanted to do on a personal level. This brought to a conclusion the review of your 2014 work. A "New Year's Resolution"
will be to complete these in a more timely manner next year. Please remember to submit your FAR in a timely manner (see page five).
The other activity was a visit to Taiwan and Japan, in the context of our Global Engagement activity.
Both were very interesting experi- ences.
Dr. Gabe Chu, Associate Dean for Research, arranged an extreme- ly informative visit to the dental school of Taiwan Medical Universi-
and colleagues. Also, we were hosted by The Taipei Dental Asso- ciation, and then the crowning event was a meeting and dinner with several of our graduate alum- ni, a group whose members were graduates from 1985 - 2015. They were generous hosts and enthusi- astic to learn about progress with
the facili- ties with- in the s c h o o l , and es- p e c ia l ly the new building, of course. Their generosi- ty and sincere appreciation of edu- cation at IUSD were touching; an illustration of the importance of our reaching out to members of the IUSD family.
I then went on to Japan to meet with members of our Japan Implant Society and particularly, a group of
dental hygienists who had complet- ed a prescribed academic project focusing on ethics, psychology and practice management. In conjunc- tion with our Japanese colleagues, Professor Heather Taylor contrib- uted considerable expertise to assessment of the project work.
So, as we embark on a new calen- dar year, I wish everyone a healthy and successful 2016, and please always remember, the Office of Faculty Affairs is here to provide guidance and
support, advice and encourage-

The IU School of Dentistry stands as an exception, if not a model, t o o t h e r schools on the IUPUI campus.
How? Perhaps
one of the most notable ways is IUSD demonstrates its commitment to faculty and staff training and development by holding two major school-wide training and devel- opment events annually with the expecta-
tion that a majority of its faculty and staff attend. This is a considerable investment and employee value statement. Although the training development events are divided between faculty and staff, the solidarity is evident in that the events occur on the same days, both recognize there are unique needs for and to both groups, and with increasing joint coordination, both address issues and growth needs common to any IUSD employee.
The next training and development day, Tuesday, January 5, is considered a calibra- tion. Terri Ryckaert, Director of Staff Hu-
man Resources, has coordinated a full half day of sessions that begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration. The remaining schedule of training and development events includes:
Safety Measures in the Workplace
Compliance Information Session
Annual HIPAA Training
Performance Management
Office of Finance and Administration Department Spotlight with a Question and Answer Panel

2016 Commencement Plans
In mid-December, Dr. Kathy Johnson, Inter- im Executive Vice Chan- cellor and Chief Academic Officer announced chang- es for the 2016 IUPUI Commencement Exercis- es. In the distant past IUPUI had a single Com- mencement ceremony in the RCA Dome.
When that facility became unavailable, the ceremonies moved to the Indiana Conven- tion Center, where space constraints re- quired the campus to conduct two sessions to accommodate all schools. In 2016, gradu- ation exercises will return to a unified Com- mencement ceremony, which will take place in Lucas Oil Stadium, 500 S. Capitol Avenue, at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 8th, yes, still on
Mother’s Day.
Lucas Oil Stadium will accommodate all of IUPUI’s graduates, their families, and the university community joining this important celebration and symbol of student success.
All degree-granting schools at IUPUI will participate in the ceremony.
Students and faculty who are taking part in Commencement will report to Lucas Oil Stadium by 10:30 a.m. on May 8, for lineup and photos, and the student processional will begin at 11:50 a.m.
Graduation recognition events that are organized separately by each school will take place over a two-day period the same weekend, in the Indiana Convention Center, 100 S. Capitol Avenue. This includes the School of Medicine, School of Dentis-
try, and McKinney School of Law, all holding these events on Saturday, May 7, at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 6 p.m. re- spectively. All other degree-granting schools will hold graduate recognition events on Sunday, May 8, one hour after the conclusion of the main university Com- mencement.
Meetings will be scheduled in January to brief school contacts on the changes to Commencement, and a full
schedule will be mailed to prospective graduates early in the semester.
Information and instruc-
tions for graduates and attendees will be available on the web, and a Commencement hotline commence@iupui.edu.
Are you new or fairly new to teaching part-time at IUPUI? Are you a veteran but sometimes wonder how to better navigate the campus as an employee and faculty member? Did you miss the fall 2015 orientation for associate faculty? If any of the above apply to you, mark your calendar for January 9, 2016. The Associate Faculty Advisory Board will host another orientation for associate (adjunct/part- time) faculty in the Campus Center from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Details about speakers and registration to follow.
ASSOCIATE FACULTY ORIENTATION
It’s that time of the year when faculty need to begin to prepare for completion of the Faculty Annual Review (FAR). Faculty mem- bers are required to complete an annual report of their work through the online form available via One.IU. The IUSD Faculty Annual Report (FAR) completion date is Friday, February 5, 2016 at 5 pm. The infor- mation provided by the faculty member is used in completing the Annual Review; de- termining awards or bonuses, if offered; and
university administration on faculty achieve- ments. The Annual Review is completed by the Department Chair following submission of the faculty member’s FAR, Curriculum Vitae (CV) and faculty career goals. The path to the FAR is outlined below:

Trustees’ Teaching Awards
Dr. Pamela Linder, Visiting Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Comprehen- sive Care and General Den- tistry, was recently appointed to serve as Director of the
Emergency Clinic. Dr. Linder joined the IUSD faculty in the fall of 2014 with her original appointment in the Department of Oral Surgery and Hospital Dentistry. As Director of the Emergency Clinic, Dr.
Linder, who earned her DDS from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, will be able to bring her experience and talents gained from not only her previous IUSD roles but also from her background with the Massa- chusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medi- cal School, the Children’s Hospital Boston &
Harvard Medical School, and Brigham &
Women’s Hospital. In her new capacity with IUSD, Dr. Linder will help progress IUSD’s teaching and learning mission and its patient
-care mission through her augmented re- sponsibilities with 3rd and 4th year pre- doctoral dental student clinical instruction during patient care. Moreover, her adminis- trative skills and insight will be of significant value as we seek to provide the best quality of Emergency Clinic processes, procedures, and outcomes for patients, students, and employees. We are excited about the po- tential Dr. Linder’s appointment creates for IUSD and our community at large.

FAR Deadline February 5th
The Indiana University Board of Trustees annually recognizes faculty who demon- strate excellence in teaching. In late Decem- ber the guidelines for the Trustees’ Teach- ing Awards were released. The guidelines are largely unchanged with the emphasis remaining on teaching that leads to docu- mented student learning. Each school is required to select the recipients and report the information online by February 29, 2016.
The School of Dentistry has been allocat-
ed four awards; two for tenure-track/
tenured faculty and two for clinical-track and lecturer faculty. The monetary awards will be $2,500 each, and the allocated funds will be transferred to each school in the spring. Each school is responsible for creat- ing the e-docs with which to pay recipients;
those documents should be completed no later than May 31, 2016.
Individuals selected as Trustees’ Teaching Award recipients will be listed in the pro- gram for the Chancellor’s Academic Hon-
ors Convocation which will be held Thurs- day, April 21, 2016, at 4:00 pm in the Hine Hall Auditorium. All recipients will be invited to attend the ceremony and will be recognized as a group during the event.
In order for the recipients to be afforded the opportunity to order academic regalia if they wish to formally participate, adherence to the February 29th deadline is important.
The date by which the apparel needs to be ordered has yet to be determined and will be shared at the earliest opportunity.
On December 9th during the Dean’s Town Hall, LaTika Webster, IUPUI United Way Campaign Project Manager and Nancy Wright, Special Events and Fundraising co- chair, presented
Dean, Dr. John Williams, with the traveling trophy acknowl- edging his 1st place showing for the highest

BOT Approves IUSD Wing
The Indiana University Board of Trustees gave unanimous approval on December 4, 2015 for the design schematic of the 45,000 -square-foot, $21.6 million expansion to the Indiana University School of Dentistry.
The contemporary building addition on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indian- apolis campus will provide state-of-the-art clinics for the 136-year-old school, which has been operating in facilities constructed in the 1930s, 1960s, and 1970s. According to IUPUI Chancellor Nasser Paydar, "The School of Dentistry's expansion supports community-engagement activities, enhances faculty-development opportunities and con- tributes to the school's global-engagement initiative, all strategic goals for the IUPUI campus. A revitalization of the school's physical plant will strengthen our academic community even as it reflects the school's singular importance as the only school of dentistry serving the state of Indiana."
Key features of the new School of Dentistry building include:
Located on the east side of the existing footprint
Three-story, 45,669-square-foot clinical addition with approximately 125 state-of-
the-art operatories and spacious, contem- porary patient registration and waiting areas
Creates enclosed courtyard gathering space connecting all four buildings on the ground level
Upper floors will connect to existing buildings via suspended glass walkways
Covered multi-lane patient drop-off and pick-up area
Preserves original limestone design to the north with the addition of a modern glass façade to the east
The new building project has already gar- nered more than $4 million from alumni and friends. The remainder of the $21.6 million construction project will be financed by dental school capital funds, auxiliary services revenue, indirect cost recovery funds and gifts to the IU Foundation through For All:
The Indiana University Bicentennial Cam- paign. Projected groundbreaking for the
new building is summer 2016, with comple- tion expected in summer 2018.
Ratio Architects and Smith Group, JJR de- signed the schematic for the dental school.
In recent years, these firms also designed the Robert H. McKinney School of Law, the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute, and the Campus Center on the IUPUI campus.
"In partnership with the university and our dedicated alumni and friends, a new clinical facility for the IU School of Dentistry will finally be achieved and signifies our forward momentum as one of the best dental schools of the 21st century," Williams said.
"We are inspired to begin this next chapter of IU Dentistry."
The School of Dentistry was founded in 1879 as the Indiana Dental College, It now sits on the IUPUI campus sharing its loca- tion with the IU School of Medicine and its partner, the IU Health academic health cen- ter. Many of the dental school's faculty members have established strong collabora- tive ties with physicians and other scientists in the medical center facilities. More than 80 percent of the dentists in Indiana are alumni of the IU School of Dentistry.

Tuesday, January 19, 2016 11:30 am to 1:00 pm University Club Register Fran Quigley, JD McKinney School of Law If We Can Win Here: The New Front Lines of the Labor Movement
Do service-sector workers represent the future of the U.S. labor movement? Mid-twentieth-century union activism transformed man- ufacturing jobs from backbreaking, low-wage work into careers that allowed workers to buy homes and send their kids to college.
Some union activists insist that there is no reason why service-sector workers cannot follow that same path. In If We Can Win Here, Fran Quigley tells the stories of janitors, fry cooks, and health-care aides trying to fight their way to middle-class incomes in Indianapo- lis. He also chronicles the struggles of the union organizers with whom the workers have made common cause. The service-sector workers of Indianapolis mirror the city’s demographics: they are white, African American, and Latino. In contrast, the union organizers are mostly white and younger than the workers they help rally. Quigley chronicles these allies’ setbacks, victories, bonds, and conflicts while placing their journey in the broader context of the global economy and labor history. As one Indiana-based organizer says of the struggle being waged in a state that has earned a reputation as anti-union: “If we can win here, we can win anywhere.” The outcome of the battle of Indianapolis may foretell the fate of workers across the United States.
