Purdue launches $2.019 billion 'Ever True' campaign

On Friday night (Oct. 9), President Mitch Daniels announced "Ever True: The Campaign for Purdue University," which will focus fundraising efforts across three priorities: "Place Students First," "Build on Our Strengths" and "Champion Research and Innovation." The goal is $2.019 billion raised by 2019, the 150th anniversary year of Purdue's founding and the 50th anniversary year of alumnus Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon.

"Today we unveil a campaign that will elevate our university's reputation for research excellence and intellectual achievement in a new era of accountability in higher education," Daniels said. "The legacy of more than 450,000 alumni inspires the entire Purdue family to invest in our students and faculty and foster the contributions that Purdue extends to Indiana and to all corners of the globe."
