Dear students, faculty, staff, and friends:

I like to invite you to attend the Boeing Lecture to be held at 4-5 pm on Oct. 1, 2013 at Fowler Hall in the Stewart Center (see attached press release).  This year's Boeing Lecture is given by Lt. General C.D. Moore - the commander of the Air Force Life Cycle Mamnagement Center at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and the title of his talk is "Preserving aerospace combat advantages in a fiscally constrained environment."  More info on this talk and on the general can be found at https://engineering.purdue.edu/AAE/AboutUs/Lectures/boeing/2013BoeingMoore.  Since affordability is a requirement in our quest to also increase performance and capabilities, this talk should be of interest.  Thank you.

Tom Shih, Professor and Head

School of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Purdue University
