2024 Focus Awards

For 2024, the Focus Awards proudly expanded. We received a large amount of nominations that highlighted the amazing work that our students, faculty, staff, and student organizations are doing. We were amazed by what we learned from those nominations and found that we simply could not pick only one winner per category. For the first time in the history of the Focus awards, the university selected two award recipients for each of the four categories. 

Awarded annually during Indiana's Disability Awareness Month, the Focus Awards recognize those affiliated with Purdue University who have made an outstanding contribution to the furthering of Purdue University's commitment to disability accessibility and disability diversity. Nominations can be made to honor Students, Faculty, Staff, or Student Organizations.
