How can being an artist and a poet impact one’s life as a researcher? What are the common threads between seemingly disparate communities of practice? Chanel Beebe, artist, writer, social entrepreneur, engineer, and doctoral candidate in the School Engineering Education at Purdue shares her experience and thoughts about these questions.

The Teaching Academy and the Office of the Provost at Purdue congratulate 25 individuals and teams of faculty, instructors, staff and graduate students who have been selected for special recognition in Round 2 of the Award for Exceptional Teaching and Instructional Support during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In the world of motorsports, chasing a dream never ends. There is always another race, another track, and the hope for another win. And as a Boilermaker, Alex Offenbach knows the drill that every race means he keeps going again and again and again until the checkered flag waves. On Sunday at the 105th running of the Indianapolis 500, Alex will be working alongside his teammates on Andretti Autosport for a third year as their damper specialist. Last year at our annual Interdisciplinary Engineering Colloquium, "Bumper to Bumper Engineering," Alex talked about his dream working at the Indy 500, his preparation in Purdue Engineering and the Multidisciplinary Engineering undergraduate degree program, and the payoffs for the hard work and long hours.
