Update 2. Yuehwern Yih, Humanitarian response and supply chain management
Please try and attend. You are also welcome to bring along one or two students who would be interested
in attending. The goal of these meetings is to learn more about engineering faculty interests and ongoing projects in global sustainable development, look for potential research collaborations, and to network with partners on campus to target new funding/partnership
opportunities.
If you have not yet done so, we ask that you RSVP with Tami Sells (tsells@purdue.edu)
to this, and subsequent meetings so that we can obtain a count for lunch.
The meeting schedule for remainder of the semester follows. If you are interested in sharing your own
