Staff Recognition
• Category: Good News About ITaP
• ITNS staffer receives kudos for help with Summer
Transition, Advising, and Registration program.
•
Andrew K. Koch, Director of Student Access, Transition and Success Programs wrote the following
about Doug Magers' help with their summer transition, Advising, and Registration program: "I write
to thank you for the help you provided to guarantee the success of the Summer Transition,
Advising, and Registration program. Your efforts with establishing and maintaining daily network
connections at our welcome locations in STEW and the Hall of Music enabled us to efficiently and
professionally check-in more than 6,000 new freshmen and transfer students over the 18 days of
the program. You were diligently present at 6 a.m. each morning, and when the system was
working without a hitch (all the time) you pitched in with other tasks (bag distribution, greeting,
etc.) to make sure that the whole check-in process was smooth. You went above-and-beyond the
call of duty – never leaving something unaddressed because it was “not your job.” For your efforts,
my SATS colleagues and I have elected you to the “Pantheon of STAR All-Stars” – an organization
founded and funded by Dan Carpenter. (So far you are the only person enshrined in this august
group.) Doug, my colleagues and I are indebted to you for your service and support. Thanks for all
you did to help the University’s newest students start their college experiences in positive and
productive manners. We look forward to working with you in the not-to-distant future when we
begin to plan for STAR 2010. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer."

ITNS TOP TEN LIST
10. "Oh! You work for ITaP?! You can solve ALL of my problems!" quote from
one Purdue staff person. Oh if only we could!!
9.
You can’t just plug a phone into any phone jack and expect it to work – have
to have a live jack and the jack owns the phone number, not your phone.
8.
We love to make you change your password!! It may help prevent hackers
or others from compromising your machine or data. So we practice safe
principles.
7.
“I should be able to do anything on the networked computers 24/7/ 365
days of the year.” Sorry, but we just aren’t staffed to manage that and there
are scheduled times we must do maintenance.
6.
Please, just “Don’t click” on embedded links in emails.

“Why should I care about security?” We try to inform you but we can not
make you practice safe computer behavior on the internet, email or
instant messaging.

3.
ITNS helps faculty, staff, & students get and stay connected securely. (via

Purdue will NEVER send an email message asking users to reply with a
