Mr. Kirk Skaugen

"Purdue University provided me an outstanding foundation in electrical engineering, business and leadership fundamentals. The university's reputation for engineering excellence provided me a range of opportunities from world-class companies upon my graduation. After growing up in Wisconsin, I made a leap to California with Intel. Purdue alumni within Intel were numerous; they welcomed me from day one, and have provided great friendships to this day. It's been wonderful to stay connected with Purdue via Intel in so many ways since graduation."
