16
00:01:33.693 --> 00:01:44.704
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS -- THE
OFFICE OF INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS,
BECAUSE IT'S REALLY A NEW MODEL,
A DISJOINTED EFFORT TO CONNECT

17
00:01:44.704 --> 00:01:53.546
AND ENGAGE WITH BUSINESS. THIS
IS A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH, ONE
STOP SHOP IF YOU WILL. GIVE US
THE BUSINESS MODEL FOR THE

18
00:01:53.546 --> 00:02:02.589
OFFICE?
>> SURE. SO OUR OFFICE WAS -- IS
DESIGNED AND DEDICATED TO BE
THAT FIRST AND THAT FRONT DOOR

19
00:02:02.589 --> 00:02:12.465
TO INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT HERE FOR
THAT FUNCTION WAS DECENTRALIZED
WHICH LED TO UNORGANIZATION AND
REALLY JUST NOT BEING ABLE TO

20
00:02:12.465 --> 00:02:25.512
CAPITALIZE ON OPPORTUNITIES. SO
PRESIDENT DANIELS SAW THE
OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE AND
ENHANCE THAT OPERATION, HENCE

21
00:02:25.512 --> 00:02:33.686
THAT BECAME THE BIRTH.

CAME TO THE UNIVERSITY FROM
NOTRE DAME IN DECEMBER, AND THE

00:02:33.686 --> 00:02:44.797
OFFICE ITSELF IS NEW. AND YOU
REALLY HAVE ENGAGED ALREADY WITH
COMPANIES LIKE -- ENGINEERING,
ROLLS-ROYCE, SAAB, AMONG OTHERS.

23
00:02:44.797 --> 00:02:52.605
HOW DOES THE PARTNERSHIP IN THIS
ENGAGEMENT LIKE THIS, AND FUTURE
COMPANIES, HOW DOES IT WORK?
>> SURE. WE'VE GOT A REALLY

24
00:02:52.605 --> 00:02:59.712

BEGINS WITH ENGAGING WITH OUR

25
00:02:59.712 --> 00:03:07.220
GREAT AND TALENTED STUDENTS, AND
OUR FACULTY AROUND SPONSORED
RESEARCH. BUT THEN IT MOVES DOWN
THE LINE TOWARDS

26
00:03:07.220 --> 00:03:14.827
COMMERCIALIZATION AND
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. WE'VE GOT
REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITIES WITH
PURDUE ONLINE AND PURDUE GLOBAL

27
00:03:14.827 --> 00:03:21.734
WITH RESPECT TO PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT AND UPSKILLING. AND
ULTIMATELY IT ENDS WITH
PLACE-MAKING AND ECONOMIC

28
00:03:21.734 --> 00:03:29.208

ENGAGEMENT, IT HAS TO START WITH
THE COMPANY FIRST AND FOREMOST.
THEY ARE FOR PROFIT. SO WE HAVE
