'Boiler Bytes 25' premiering on BTN's Purdue day
A new installment of a Purdue's news magazine on the Big Ten Network will premiere today (July 12) as BTN celebrates a full day plus of Purdue-related programs.
"Boiler Bytes 25," a 30-minute program produced by Purdue, will debut at 4 p.m. on BTN. It has four featured segments giving a closer look at some points of campus talent and tradition:
* Art and technology in the theatre -- Two Purdue engineering students serve up the scares in Purdue Theatre's ghostly production of the Noel Coward play "Blithe Spirit" as part of their spring semester studies.
* Exploring nano-scale science --At Purdue's Discovery Park, students from around the state of Indiana learned all about the "science of the very small" during the park's annual NanoDays outreach celebration.
* 100+ years of the Glee Club
The Purdue Varsity Glee Club shares its many traditions that have bonded its members throughout time.
* Champion long jumper Leah Eber
Purdue student-athlete Leah Eber leads both on the field and on the runway as a Big Ten champion long jumper and an apparel design and technology major.
