Job Framework Redesign Project listening sessions begin May 17
In February, Human Resources announced the Job Framework Redesign Project: a review and redesign of Indiana University’s classification structure for appointed staff positions. Using universitywide input, the project will retire current classification structures and create a job framework that is clear, consistent and transparent.
Employees are encouraged to attend special listening sessions to hear more about the project, see an example of how the new framework is constructed and learn how it benefits staff at IU.
Sessions begin May 17 and take place at IU Bloomington, IUPUI, IU South Bend and IU Northwest. They are not mandatory but are intended to help employees understand the new framework and prepare for the transition. Each hourlong session will be hosted by members of the Human Resources Compensation team and will include time for related questions. Interested employees need attend only one session, as each session will feature the same material.
Sessions on the IU Bloomington campus will be from 9 to 10 a.m., noon to 1 p.m. and 4 to 5 p.m. May 17 in the IMU’s Dogwood Room. Sessions on the IUPUI campus will be from 9 to 10 a.m., noon to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. May 22 in Campus Center Room 450B. The session at IU Northwest will be 1 to 2 p.m. on May 30 in the Anderson Library Conference Center Room 105 ABC, while the session at IU South Bend will be on May 31 from 10 to 11 a.m. in the Alumni Room. Visit hr.iu.edu/redesign/news.html#listen to add a session to your calendar.
No RSVP is required, but seating is limited. Can’t attend? A recording will be made available this summer and the tour continues this fall with more sessions at additional locations, including more regional campuses.

IU South Bend student first Goldwater Scholar in campus history
Phillip Marmorino has made history at Indiana University South Bend. The junior from South Bend has been named the first Goldwater Scholar in campus history. He is one of 211 Goldwater Scholars recently named in the nation, one of only seven in Indiana and the only one from Indiana University.
Goldwater Scholars are selected each year from over 2,000 colleges and universities based on academic merit in the fields of natural sciences, mathematics and engineering. Winners are given scholarships up to $7,500 per year. The scholarships are considered the most prestigious undergraduate scholarships in the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering in America.
Marmorino is a double major in math and physics at IU South Bend, with the goal of going to graduate school to earn a Ph.D. in theoretical mathematics and teach at the university level. He is particularly interested in the theoretical aspects of number theory, combinatorics and algebra. He was home-schooled in South Bend and began taking classes at IU South Bend at a young age, nearly six years ago. His father, Matthew Marmorino, is associate professor of chemistry at IU South Bend.
