In this episode of The Link Podcast, we explore the collaboration between Notre Dame’s iNDustry Labs and South Bend’s General Stamping & Metalworks. Along the way, we hear what President John Marshall means by “industrial athlete” and learn how student AI projects, shared expertise, and local career opportunities are helping shape the future of manufacturing.
Join podcast host Tim Sexton, associate vice president for Public Affairs at Notre Dame, as Dave Hemler from Notre Dame’s iNDustry Labs walks with John Marshall, president of General Stamping & Metalworks. Together, they discuss how one of iNDustry Labs’ earliest partnerships has evolved to connect students with real business challenges and a local employer with fresh perspectives.
From classroom conversations and company visits to three student AI projects, the collaboration brings learning in both directions. For one student, it also led to a career opportunity: a position at GSM as a business intelligence analyst. Learn more about the conversation around AI and its impact.
