 Hello, my name is Dimitri Peroulis. I'm the Michael and Catherine Burke head of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I'm also the Riley Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. And I'm here in the recently renovated atrium of the MSW building. It has been renovated due to the wonderful generosity of Max and Mailin Brown. When I first came to Purdue about 16 years ago, this space was basically a space for everybody to just walk in from one end of the building to the other. Now this recent renovation has made it a fantastic center for all of our students to come together, talk about what they're facing, mingle and it allows teams of students to work together. The entire philosophy of the space is to be open, visible, collaborative and allows people to inspire one another, motivate one another and at the end of the day make their thoughts a reality. I'm now in our newly created space, the Bill and Shirley Rice Design Studio, still in the MSW building. This is an amazing new space that we built for our students. This is a space that we wanted to build so our students learn how to collaborate in teams, how to learn together, how to think together and how to have impact together. We think this is very critical for our students to be able to be effective and honestly have fun. We're hoping that this space will result in students that are risk takers, that are impactful in their boat. This space really became possible due to the generosity of Bill and Shirley Rice. We're amazingly thankful to our donors and I think when they see this space they will feel that they have a big impact for our students today and our students in the future. So rethinking our space for our students is one of the initiatives that we have recently undertaken. Another one I'm really excited about is the initiative about online learning. We're actually innovating in several areas. We're innovative by building virtual labs, by rethinking the personalized learning approach, personalized assessment, by collaborating with industry to create digital badges, micro-credentials and by making the degrees through the online delivery mode much more affordable than in the past. Through our new partnership with edX and Kaplan Higher Education we're now offering the same degree but at almost half the price of what we used to offer before. And it is the same degree that you would get even if you were to come on our campus taught by the same faculty, going through the same classes, using the same assessments and having the same learning outcomes and the same learning benefits. It's a very exciting initiative and I think we're going to benefit a lot of students in West Lafayette and around the world.
