Abby Green
From Greenwood, Indiana, Abby Green is a sophomore studying nursing. She is involved in Purduettes and Nurses' Christian Fellowship, along with being a member of Student Philanthropy Council. Abby became a member of SPC to help educate fellow students about the importance of giving back to Purdue, because a university like Purdue cannot run on the tuition of students alone.
Alex Folk
Alex joined SPC as a way to get involved with the university and meet new people. He quickly learned that giving back to Purdue in the form of donations or other gifts had an immediate impact on all students and felt as though more students needed to know the impact of giving back. A junior in the school of Health Sciences, Alex is from Saline, MI and is a first year member of the council.
Alex Robinson
A sophomore studying political science and philosophy, Alex, from Noblesville, Indiana is the daughter of Purdue Alumni. She decided to join Student Philanthropy Council to raise awareness about the importance of giving back when students graduate. She gives back on campus as a Purduette, as an undergraduate representative for Philosophy majors, and as a member of the Political Science Honorary Pi Sigma Alpha.
Ashlea Lidester

Lauren Davis-Robinson
Lauren is a freshman in Pre-Pharmacy from Fort Wayne, IN. She first heard about SPC from the Boiler Television Network and came to the callout. She became interested in giving back to the community and creating awareness for her graduating class about giving a little back to Purdue for future students. She is also involved in Pre-Pharmacy Club and Pharmacy Ambassadors.
Anna Burk
Anna is a sophomore from Mishawaka, IN majoring in Didactics and Nutrition, Fitness and Health. She joined the SPC to inform students just how much alumni help with funding Purdue and student scholarships.
Josh Young
Josh, a junior in Mechanical Engineering Technology from southern Indiana, joined the SPC to make a difference at Purdue. After growing up in the shadow of Indiana University, he came to Purdue and quickly became a Boilermaker at heart. He now understands that simple state funding and tuition are not enough; the University needs help from generous people. He hopes to help bring funding in for future Boilermakers!
