The Purdue University Dreamer Award is presented annually to an individual or organization within the Purdue University community whose contributions embody Martin Luther King, Jr.'s vision of service to others and further the University's commitment to diversity. The Dreamer Award was established in 2004 and is presented at the University's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration in January of each year. The award is sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Ethics and Compliance.
