Member Spotlight

Wayne and Mary Hockmeyer
If you were searching for a couple to embody the word “altruist,” you would need look no further than Wayne Hockmeyer (’66 entomology; ’02 honorary doctorate, science) and Mary Hockmeyer.
Between service in the military and as a school teacher, a business based on helping others, a hands-on commitment to the environment, support of guide dogs for the blind, and their dedication to Purdue University, these President’s Council Pinnacle Level members have made the needs of others a priority.
