In the Spotlight

Purdue Identities Project shining light on invisible identities

The Purdue Identities Project (PIP) is a broad inclusion initiative aimed at recruiting and retaining diverse individuals to Purdue, and increasing diversity awareness and resources on the West Lafayette campus. Drew Mallory (in photo), co-lead of PIP, says the project has a special focus on potentially concealable diversity, or "invisible identities." These are social identities that might not be known until they are disclosed, such as veteran, disability, or LGBTQ status, which are often subject to negative perceptions.
