- [00:00:00.405]My name is Eric Thompson.
- [00:00:02.053]I'm an Associate Professor of Economics
- [00:00:04.346]and also the Director of the Bureau of Business Research
- [00:00:07.538]at the College of Business Administration
- [00:00:09.957]at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
- [00:00:12.088]Well, I'm passionate about rural areas
- [00:00:14.994]because I think it's possible
- [00:00:18.645]to recreate some of the positives of urban areas
- [00:00:23.125]more strongly in rural areas.
- [00:00:25.421]RFI is trying to make a national and international impact.
- [00:00:30.166]Our university does have a lot of expertise.
- [00:00:32.889]I think it would be natural to people
- [00:00:34.923]around the world, around the country,
- [00:00:37.713]if they learned that the state of Nebraska
- [00:00:40.287]and the University of Nebraska is on the cutting edge,
- [00:00:43.404]providing solutions for rural areas.
- [00:00:45.878]I think that fits with our brand.
- [00:00:47.788]It's an excellent opportunity to take advantage of
- [00:00:50.613]what we do well as a state,
- [00:00:52.616]what we do well as a university,
- [00:00:55.938]in order to have the global impact that our university
- [00:00:59.189]and I think most universities are trying to have.
