Inside IPFW
Only Fidelity and PERF are Endorsed by Purdue
Some IPFW staff and faculty have been solicited by phone or e-mail by Stephen R. Wien, a financial adviser from Bison Financial Group, an independent financial firm based in Lafayette, Ind. Mr. Wien has indicated that he visited campus on July 27 and August 2 to conduct individual meetings; however, he did not work through Human Resources to receive approval to solicit IPFW staff and faculty.

Other investment organizations may advertise their services; however, HR would like to remind you that PERF and Fidelity are the only organizations that are contracted by Purdue to provide retirement education and guidance. IPFW does not release contact information to any other financial organization.

If you have questions, please contact Tina Grady, [email protected], or Tina Sullivan, [email protected]

Test Your IPFW Editorial Style

Julie Bach was the first person to correctly answer last week's puzzler, "Which of these dates follows IPFW editorial style: August 1, 2012; Aug. 1, 2012; August 1, 2011; or Aug. 1 (this year)?" The answer is Aug. 1, 2012. 

  • Abbreviate months when used with a specific day and year (except March, April, May, June, and July). Otherwise spell out.
  • Spell out the names of all months in a date reference unless the year is also designated.
  • Include the year only if it is different from the present year. 

This week's question: Which sentence does not follow IPFW editorial style? 

  1. The bursar's office is on the ground floor.
  2. I received a bill from the Bursar.
  3. Mary works in the Office of the Bursar. 

Send your response to [email protected], then check back next week for the answer. IPFW Editorial Style Guide (PDF) ...
