Happy Tuesday, Boilermakers!

It’s been one week since our Echoes of Excellence panel in Fowler Hall, and we’d like to take a moment to reflect on the event.

The panel brought valuable insight from our alumni to the Purdue student body. Students had the chance to hear firsthand about the experiences, perspectives, and lessons shared by our distinguished alumni. Their advice and encouragement provided meaningful takeaways for everyone who attended.

Thank you to Greta Schantz and Will Strahm for leading the event, and to our alumni for dedicating their time to support fellow Boilermakers.

Here’s to continuing a strong tradition of learning from those who came before us!!

Wednesday marked the final day of our 75th & 10th Anniversary Old Masters and Rising Professionals celebration. This milestone program brought together generations of Boilermakers through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and countless moments of inspiration.

It was truly an honor to learn from our alumni, connect with fellow students, and reflect on the lasting impact of this tradition. Here’s to the memories made and the legacy we continue to carry forward!!
