this wonderful terrace amphitheater, and the gathering spaces

that simply didn't exist before where students can meet,

build prototypes, study in teams.

We take seriously the idea that many of the great problems

that engineers can contribute to in this century are interdisciplinary problems.

These are problems associated with human health, they are problems associated with environmental

engineering, they're problems associated with energy.

And if you look at how Stanford is addressing those problems,

part of the way in which we do that is through facilities.

If you build places that people want to be, and build places

where people will want to work together in very different

ways than they have in the past, you can create partnerships that will do amazing things to

tackle the big problems that this world faces.

This new Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center will foster many incredible collaborations.

I'm confident of it. Thank you, Jen-Hsun and Laura, for this wonderful

opportunity.

Today is really about those creating the future. Just as I talked about the importance of Stanford

the institution, and the results and the products of its students,

this is about placing yet another bet of creating our future.

This is about placing yet another bet for inventing something

that would move the world further. And so I want to thank you for inviting me

and pulling me into your gravitational field.

It is a great honor to be connected with Stanford. I want to thank both of you.

Thank you.
