About
In the spirit of John Purdue’s remarkable act of generosity that made our university’s founding possible, we invite your support of “Victories & Heroes: Your Campaign for Purdue.”
Our most ambitious fundraising initiative ever, “Victories & Heroes” will help advance and reimagine Purdue’s land-grant mission. A bold call to action, this campaign will build on the university’s foundational strengths — our students and faculty and their collective persistence and innovation — as we contribute solutions for today’s greatest challenges.
“Victories & Heroes” will magnify Purdue’s excellence at scale by expanding access to a world-class education, advancing knowledge and discovery and strengthening our communities for a better world.
Ever true to our beginnings as a land-grant institution — and ever grateful to those who came before — we celebrate every victory and every hero, knowing we are serving the common good together as Purdue becomes the country’s most consequential public research university.
From the Wabash River to the face of the moon, Boilermakers have made positive impact across generations. As American higher education goes through a transformative time, our university is uniquely positioned for excellence at scale. This comprehensive campaign, the third in Purdue’s history, will invest in the long-term future of this most consequential public university in the country. We are ever grateful for the philanthropic support from all our Boilermaker alumni and friends.”
