 Today we had the poster competition. Graduate students and undergraduate students, they come all under one roof together and they share their researches with the judges. Events like this really set the tone for the students in their preparation for stepping on to a presentation. These are the future Milwaukee engineers, so it's just a way to really support the fabric of what we're doing here in terms of our research and education mission. In our one designation is the highest possible research designation from the Carnegie Institution. Such a powerful thing for our students, faculty, and staff to celebrate and recognize. We are among the best universities, the Harvard, Yale, Michigan. There's only one other institution in the state that has that, that's Madison, so we're on the same level now. They have passion for what they do and we make sure that we can help them to understand the value of their research. We are developing robotic exoskeletons for rehabilitation, in particular at mine is on-hand rehabilitation. At our beaches we're seeing things called algae blooms and it really threatens our water quality. My research this semester focused on developing a prototype to filter that water before it reaches the Great Lakes. I am going to be a judge. There's another portion where I'm going to be on the board with the Krawski family to pick out some of the best papers. By working with academic institutions we cannot only help the students understand early in their careers what the expectations are in industry but we set up a recruiting pipeline for ourselves which is helpful as well. Being involved in research is just, it's an important catalyst to the advancement and the competitiveness you know of America really. When you look at industry and you look at the problems that industry is trying to solve, UWM is at the forefront of the technical breakthroughs. It was really a great event.
