The Rensselaer Idea Bank is now closed. Thank you to all who submitted an idea! Our strategic planning committees have reviewed the submissions and will reflect on these thoughtful ideas and respond as appropriate in their final reports. We hope to release these final committee reports to the Rensselaer community in early September, with a goal to complete the Rensselaer Forward Plan by December 2023.

Format of Idea Bank ideas
I enjoy reading the ideas in the Idea Bank! However, the way that some of these ideas are displayed makes it hard to see if an idea is completed (sometimes it is just one or two sentences, or a short paragraph), or if there is more to read that is hidden from view. I know I have glossed over ideas only to realize at a second visit that there was more to the idea. Can the 'Read More' button be more prominently displayed to signal if there is more to read? or place a ".... more" at the bottom of whatever can be displayed. Thanks!
Email Access for Off Season Adjunct Faculty
Rensselaer Polytechnic Insititute ensures that active faculty and staff have computing access that includes an "@rpi.edu" email address that is affiliated with their RCS account.

In other words, when the paid appointment ends, the former faculty or staff member's computing access ends and their @rpi.edu email account is no longer valid. For the most part, this makes sense.
