Executive in Residence Learning Community
The Executive in Residence (EiR) Learning Community offers an exclusive opportunity for students to engage directly with Purdue alumni who are leaders across diverse industries. Through personalized mentoring, professional development sessions, and behind-the-scenes experiences, students will gain valuable insight into leadership, innovation, and career success.
Members of this community enjoy unique access to Executives beyond scheduled EiR events, including on-site visits to their workplaces and hometowns, providing a rare glimpse into how top professionals operate and lead.
This LC is ideal for students eager to grow their professional networks, develop leadership skills, and gain real-world exposure early in their college journey. All highly motivated students are encouraged to apply. For students who wish to participate in their second-year or beyond, preference is given to students who have previously participated in EiR programs.
For specific questions regarding the EiR LC, please email (eir@purdue.edu).
Eligibility

Residential Component
- Students will indicate interest in Learning Communities (LCs) and apply during their housing application process. Students will be informed of the status of their LC application in mid-May.
- Roommate selection will occur after LC decisions have been made. If admitted to an LC, students will need to match with other student(s) admitted to the same LC. If not selected for an LC, the student's original housing preferences will be considered during general housing placement and the student will be able to roommate match with other general housing students.
- The location of LC housing will be determined based on the incoming class size and the needs of the learning community.
