Welcome

At Purdue University, we strive to prepare and empower students for life, not just for employment. In recognition that students come to campus from many different places, with different backgrounds, and different needs, every effort is made to provide the best and most comprehensive resources possible for students' academic and personal advancement. It takes tremendous creativity, energy, and dedicated personnel to make our campus environment the most invigorating and inspiring place it can be for fostering lifelong learning and personal growth and development for students.

Within this Web site a reader can glimpse at least the range (but not the full depth) of services and programs available in the Office of the Dean of Students. We take our responsibilities seriously as we help guide students through the variety of personal, academic, and career issues they are likely to encounter during their time at Purdue University. With student development and success in mind, we value every opportunity to collaborate with students, faculty, and staff. For assistance or to learn more about the resources we offer, we invite you to visit, call or email us. Meanwhile, we wish for one and all a very enjoyable, productive, and highly successful 2009-2010 school year!
