In support of one of Purdue University’s Next Moves to increase the number of underrepresented Boilermakers on the West Lafayette campus and to support their success as students, faculty, staff and alumni, the College of Engineering announces a five-year program.
Project Bridge has been established with a $5 million gift from benefactors Bill Uhrig (E’82) and Anastasia Vournas.
For the first time in program history, Purdue supporters will be able to earn John Purdue Club priority points through all giving across Purdue University’s main campus. Beginning with this year’s Purdue Day of Giving on April 30, contributions to non-athletics units will now qualify for priority points, offering donors more ways to engage with and support Purdue while strengthening the university’s philanthropic impact.
The Purdue University Board of Trustees has approved the promotion of 163 faculty across the Purdue University system as well as a new degree program, a posthumous degree, resolutions of appreciation, and a naming.
