Taking the theme “We Are Purdue,” the eighth annual Purdue Day of Giving surged past last year’s $42.2 million total to raise $52.5 million, through 25,219 gifts, toward the small steps and giant leaps that make Purdue University an engine of innovation and impact.
The Purdue Board of Trustees has approved naming the School of Industrial Engineering for alumnus John A. Edwardson in recognition of $25 million in total gift commitments to support students, faculty, and programming. The school will be known as the Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering.
