We hope to see you there!

Arun Gupta, CEO of NobleReach Foundation, has spent decades at the intersection of technology, business and public service.

As the next guest in Purdue Engineering’s Visionary Voices series, Gupta will join Dean Mark Lundstrom on Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. in Fowler Hall to talk entrepreneurship, national service and preparing students to tackle problems bigger than any one discipline.

A book signing follows, plus an earlier reading with Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies. More about the event: https://bit.ly/4g55dny
