[00:00:00] >> As the managing director for the for the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, I am so excited to welcome David Baker to our team. David is our new, assistant director of government relations and will be our community relations contact in Alexandria. It makes total sense that David was our first hire for the campus because we are so committed to the area and want to engage with the community as soon and as often as possible. [00:00:21] David's office will be on Prince Street in Old Town Alexandria but he will spend his time out and about making the rounds and sharing updates on Virginia Tech's forward momentum to realize our campus at National Landing. David has shared with me his genuine interest in listening to the community and understanding how we can best be neighbors and friends to everyone here. [00:00:39] Please join me by saying hello to David when you see him. Both of us look forward to having opportunities to work with you and support the city of Alexandria and the greater Washington D.C. area. We look forward to being great partners to realize the potential of the Innovation Campus and truly enrich the entire region's workforce and economy. [00:00:56] Thank you.
