 I'm standing here on the second floor bridge of the new Armstrong Hall of Engineering at Purdue University and for many decades Purdue engineers have been exploring space and the earth, pushing the frontiers of knowledge and transforming the way we teach and the way we learn. Like 2,000 freshman engineers on campus this week, I am new to Purdue as well. I joined Purdue because of our proud heritage, our bright future, and our great people. I'm Mum, the new Dean of Purdue's College of Engineering. I hope to see you here too.
