Purdue Alumni Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs

Welcome

Welcome to the Purdue Alumni Club of Colorado Springs!

Whether you are an alum, supporter, or just a friend of Purdue, we want you to participate. We need your involvement and energy to help create excitement about Purdue in Colorado Springs. As the home of U.S. Space Command, our community is growing—and it includes many highly skilled professionals, from members of the medical community to defense contractors and engineers.

We want to strengthen our connections and build Purdue synergy here in Colorado Springs!

Join us for game watches, happy hours, community volunteering events, or hikes on one of the more than 200 nearby trails. If you are affiliated with a non-profit and would like to host a group event that features giving back to the community, please reach out to one of our board members and schedule your next event.

Please check back soon for more details, including contact information for board members.
