As stated in his inaugural message and similar to some of his predecessors, Purdue President Mung Chiang has chosen to forgo formal investiture ceremonies marking his becoming the university’s 13th president. Instead, he will participate in three activities alongside the campus community as part of the 10th annual Purdue Day of Giving on April 26.
Energy cost is a major concern for industry. It may not be a stressor for manufacturing giants, which have the budget and personnel to handle their own energy assessments. But what about the small- and medium-sized business owners in Indiana? Purdue University in Indianapolis professor Jie Chen, his colleagues and students at the university’s Industrial Assessment Center are working to put Indiana small- to medium-sized business owners’ minds at ease when it comes to energy expenditures.
Arden Woodall loves teaching, and she loves stories. The intricacy of how readers and stories intersect and how perspectives shape both meaning and our identity as we interact with writing intrigues her. Her own relationship with teaching and stories changed in an instant when she was selected as Purdue University’s first Beinecke Scholar. The prestigious national award provides significant financial support for graduate studies.
Purdue Aviation Day, the flagship public event for the School of Aviation and Transportation Technology in Purdue University’s Polytechnic Institute, will return on Saturday (April 15). The event is organized exclusively by student leaders, and it provides the Greater Lafayette community with a free opportunity to explore the past, present and future of aviation alongside the students and professionals from Purdue working to shape it.

Patty Turner and John Gentry (Materials Management Distribution) were a huge help to me when I needed to ship materials for a convention at the very last minute. They were kind, patient and resourceful. They also took the time to share their knowledge about the process to make it easier for me and my department in the future. I am exceptionally grateful for their help! – Samantha Ooley (Philosophy)
