Regionally Speaking, Monday, September 18, 2017

Purdue University Northwest

Today:  A conversation with Richard Rupp, a Purdue University Northwest political scientist who's taken on the position of Chief of Staff to PNW Chancellor Thomas Keon.  We talk about his experiences on campus, including heading up projects that led to the opportunity to serve in a wider leadership capacity on both the Hammond and Westville campuses.

We revisit our conversation with Margaret Semmer, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Services at Ivy Tech Community College in Gary, about how Ivy Tech benefits from its partnership with Indiana University Northwest in the new Arts and Sciences Building.

And we chat with Ann Massie of the Northwest Indiana Food Council about this weekend's "Food Hop" farm tours across the Region.  There will be four separate tours, one in each quadrant of northwest Indiana.  You can get tickets for the tour nearest you by going on the NWI Food Council website.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
