Q: (Canzano)
You’ve got some corporate partners and good relationships with former alumni who have built successful companies. Can Oregon State lean into those relationships?
A: (President Murthy) Oh, yeah, absolutely. And so certainly on the academic side, there’s big interest in leaning into our relationship with NVIDIA, with Jensen Huang.
Our connection to the biggest Artificial Intelligence company in the world in the era of AI is a huge, huge plus. I’m not yet sure what the athletic side of that can be.
Q: Can you make him a football fan?
A: I’m going to try.
Q: Can you get him to a game?
A: Yeah, I'm going to try. But that is a connection that we can’t ignore.
