The Purdue Board of Trustees ratified faculty and staff appointments and the promotion and tenure of faculty, and approved resolutions of appreciation for friends of the university who recently contributed $1 million or more to Purdue.

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.
