Favorite Purdue Memory(ies): First, I'll go way back to when I would come to Purdue Football games growing up.  I loved to wear gold and black pom-poms in my pig tails!
Finally, hearing the Purdue Varsity Glee Club sing the Armed Forces Medley for the first time at a President's Council Tailgate. Seeing all the men and women stand up when the song in which was in honor of the branch they served was sung, was so touching.  It made me very proud to see that Purdue appreciates and honors those that serve for the United States of America.

Favorite Purdue Location:  Walking through campus anytime after dark. It is so peaceful.  Whether there
is glittering snow falling or the stars are glowing on a warm night, Purdue is a place of life and happenings as well as stillness and peacefulness.

Favorite Purdue memory:  Walking into Ross Ade Stadium for the first time is my most memorable Purdue moment.  As a freshman, I had no idea what to expect especially on game day.  I will never forget hearing the cheers from the student section and unexpectedly being thrown into the air after Purdue scored its first  touchdown.
