- My name is Michaela Rumple
and I'm a senior in aerospace engineering.
I'm sitting here in
the John Rich classroom
in Armstrong Hall,
one of the many classrooms
named after our generous donors.
I'm also the president
of the Purdue Engineering Student Council,
also known as PESC.
PESC's mission is to serve
students, faculty, and industry.
We do this mainly
through our career fairs,
Industrial Roundtable and EXPO.
Industrial Roundtable,
our fall career fair,
is the largest student-run
career fair in the nation.
The success of our career fairs
allows us to give back to the university
to continue to support students.
Some of the opportunities we've had
are donating to the Bechtel
Innovation Design Center
and the Gateway Complex.
We'll be supporting the
student organization space
that will benefit engineering student orgs
in the Gateway Complex.
Purdue has given me so many
incredible opportunities.
I've had the opportunity to serve
on Purdue Engineering Student Council,
the Purdue Engineering
Presidents' Council,
and I'm a College of
Engineering ambassador.
All these opportunities
allowed me to be a recipient
of the inaugural Engineering
Fellowship award.
I'm extremely humbled to
have received this award
and I'm very thankful
for the incredible alumni that Purdue has
who continue to support
students and the college.
