- If this is your second semester, at Purdue and you participated in a career exploration experience such as a first-year seminar, honors seminar, or learning community during the fall semester you may write a career and professional development report on that experience and earn 1 point toward the LBC certificate.
- Or, perhaps, you attended a leadership development conference or were a teaching assistant last semester---that will earn you points in service, citizenship, and leadership.
- Were you a mentor or did you attend, plan or lead a domestic or international diversity event? Those activities count toward experience with domestic and international diversity.
There are many more pursuits in which you could have taken part that are eligible for LBC points. Take a look at the tables that are on the CoS website (Click Here) to determine whether what you have done fits the criteria.
Do you need financial support to pursue an experiential learning activity? Are you going to a conference? Studying abroad? Doing community service? Apply for an LBC grant. For details on the application process: Click Here

Have you completed the SERU?
|
|
| All Purdue undergraduates are invited to take the SERU, but it is important we get a good sample from our college so the opinions of our students are accurately represented. When you are ready to begin, click the link here:
The SERU is voluntary. You aren’t required to take it, or to complete it if you choose to begin. Your responses will always be confidential. Your name won’t be included in any reports or any shared data, and your relationship with Purdue University or any person or department in it won’t be affected. Please answer questions honestly.
If you need assistance or if you have questions about the survey’s design, contact Purdue’s campus administrators at seru@purdue.edu.
If you wish to talk with someone other than the researchers, you may contact Purdue’s Institutional Review Board. Please refer to the “2022 Undergraduate SERU Survey” under protocol IRB-2021-1885. The principal researchers are H. Anne Weiss and Andrew Zehner. |

DURI Summer 2022: Now Accepting
Student Applications
|
|
Discovery Park has posted new research projects for the Discovery Park Undergraduate Research Internship’s summer 2022 session. Undergraduates can see the current list of DURI projects and apply for the summer session at the DURI website.
The student application deadline is March 24. Faculty project supervisors will review all eligible student applications before making final selections. Students will be notified of their acceptance after that date -- ideally, by April 8.
During the summer, student teams will be responsible for pursuing their research projects, culminating with a poster presentation and one-page abstract/summary of their results. Assuming all requirements are met, each participating student will earn a $4,500 summer term scholarship from the DURI program.
The DURI program provides opportunities for undergraduate students to work with researchers on cutting-edge research on challenges in the areas of global security, health, and sustainability. In these projects, solutions will be researched by combining faculty and students with two or more distinct disciplinary strengths.
For more information, email duristudent@purdue.edu.
