Member Spotlight
Scott and Nikki Niswonger
When 18-year-old Scott Niswonger left his home in a farm town of 11,000 and arrived at Purdue University in 1964, he thought he’d died and gone to heaven.
“It was incredible,” says Scott (AT ’68, HDT ‘04). “I was the luckiest boy pilot from Van Wert, Ohio, to just be accepted at Purdue. That kind of education didn’t exist anywhere else in the world.”
