The 2012 Purdue weekend in Naples, Florida celebrates the generosity of the University’s premier giving society, the President’s Council.  In partnership with the John Purdue Club, our annual weekend in Naples gives the University the opportunity to thank members and celebrate the success their generosity makes possible.

The weekend is filled with a vast array of activities to choose from, culminating with our annual “appreciation” dinner for PC/JPC members.  Taking place in conjunction with Mollenkopf/Keyes Weekend are the ever-popular Back to Class sessions, where members attend “class” with some of Purdue’s top faculty and learn about all of the exciting things happening on campus.  Back to Class grows more and more popular each year.
