Dr. Padgett feels strongly about giving back to the community and trying to make a difference in the lives of others. He is paying it back and paying it forward. Dr. Padgett restores antique automobiles and loves to tinker on things in his spare time. Dr. Padgett is also a long distance motorcycle rider. He commutes approximately 140 miles per day to work on his bike. He has traveled to as far as Ohio, Louisiana, Florida and Texas and it doesn’t bother him to travel 1600 – 1800 miles over three day period.

A core of seniorfaculty banded together to reinvent the IE program at Western Michigan University in an effort toprepare graduates for future careers -- including future positions which may not exist in the currentworkplace.Review of programs at other schoolsIn 2005, it was unclear what direction the IE program at Western Michigan University should take.Some IE programs across the US had made changes to their programs, but these changes typicallyincluded making small content adjustments and placing terms such as “systems”, “operations”,“operations research”, or “manufacturing” in the program

Ifworking on such a project can increase career possibilities in partnering organizations or inindustry in general, it is a positive outcome.The third issue is finding appropriate topics for the program.
