Press Release“SFR’s Fisher Participated in a Meet and Greet at IUPUI on Wednesday”
The first university in the nation to offer a four-year degree program for motorsports engineering, IUPUI offers a unique and innovative approach for individuals looking for a career in racing, engineering or motorsports management. The Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI also offers a Motorsports Technology Certificate, as well as various motorsports business management courses, through the Continuing Education Department of the IUPUI Community Learning Network.
Students had the opportunity to learn more about these programs, as well as the careers that they lead to, at the special event. Director of the Motorsports Engineering Program, Pete Hylton, was also on hand, answering questions, along with students currently participating in the programs. Appearances by drivers, including IUPUI-sponsored Fisher, topped off the three-hour event prior to guests receiving a tour of the campus.
“IUPUI offers a great program for students interested in motorsports,” said Fisher. “They are a real leader in offering these courses and they’re a great partner to SFR. We want to support the continuation of new leaders in the industry and the future of motorsports in any way we can.”
IUPUI joined SFR in May 2008 and has continued with the sole female-owned IndyCar Series Team.
Fisher wraps her 2009 season under the lights at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Aug. 10, 2009, as part of a national initiative by Dollar General, in conjunction with a few of the store’s associate sponsors, including Purina Cat Chow(r), Quilted Northern(r), GladWare(r), Clorox(r) and TracFone(r). The brands teamed up to support Dollar General’s partnership with SFR and Susan G. Komen for the Cure® to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research and community outreach programs. The race will be shown live on VERSUS at 4 p.m. EDT.
