>> I'm Erik Pytlak.
I manage the weather and streamflow forecasting group at the Bonneville Power Administration,
which is out in Portland, Oregon.
And the academics are absolutely important.
You've got to, you know, spend time on homework.
You've got to spend time studying.
But it is really, really important to get involved.
And get involved with anything you want.
I mean, there's so many things you can get involved with here at Penn State.
Just follow your passion and dive in.
