Every once and a while on Fluid Power Forum, we like to talk with one of NFPA’s education partners and learn about how that future workforce is being shaped. So we invited Ghazi into our forum to welcome NIU as a first-year NFPA <span style= "color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;">Power Partner University, and learn how that status is helping his students prepare for the future fluid power industry.</span></span></p> <p class="paragraph" style= "margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"> </p> <p class="paragraph" style= "margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style= "color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;">Connect with Ghazi at gmalkawi@niu.edu <br /> Connect with the host Eric Lanke at <a href= "mailto:elanke@nfpa.vom">elanke@nfpa.com</a></span></span></p>
