In the spotlight

A message from President Córdova

March is always welcome in Indiana. It brings us the first day of spring, NCAA basketball tournaments, spring break and Women's History Month. It also brings us lots of high school students and their parents, eager to learn more about Purdue and the college experience. A special Web feature this month will profile women who help make Purdue an exceptional place to work, teach and learn. They represent administrators and clerical staff, service workers, faculty members and students. We are proud of their contributions and I hope you enjoy reading about these outstanding Purdue women throughout the month. Read more...
