Transcript for Lisbeth Goddik

Yes, so my name is

Lisbeth Goddik.

And I'm the dairy processing professor

here at OSU.

I'm also the extension specialist

for dairy foods.

Well one of my passions right now

is that we used to have a really good

dairy plant here on campus that was a

wonderful place to train students

in dairy processing. And in fact,

a lot of the people running the dairy

processing plants in Oregon today

came through that pilot plant,

but it was shut down 30 years ago.

And we're just starting it up. It's only

half a year old the kind of plant you see in

there. It's completely remodeled and we're still purchasing equipment

and getting the place ready.

And my dream now-

well, what will happen is that we're

going to get it licensed so that it becomes

an incubator plant.

And people who want to start up a specialty,

artisan dairy processing, they can

come in and make products and start selling them.

And if the sell well, well then that's a good reason to go

out and build their own production plant.

And I suppose my other passion

is a little more hands on today,

working with students from

under-served communities now and then.

I really like helping other immigrants.

I think that's really neat to

to help those kids.

Well in part because I can see the

advantage when my kids grew up in a home

where one of the parents are a professor,

it's so easy for them. But I know

the way i grew up, I didn't have

parents who are professors or anything,

it was much harder. So I think

those kids need a little extra help,

so anything I can do to help there,

I'm really happy doing that.
