This year, we come together to celebrate America\u2019s 250th<\/sup> anniversary \u2014 and our own legacy of persistently pursuing the next giant leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a land-grant university, our mission has always been to serve all. We take pride in the many American heroes who began as Boilermakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we look ahead to a year of special moments of celebration, from Purdue\u2019s Day of Giving this spring to featured Presidential Lecture Series events and the treasured tradition of the annual Indy 500 \u2014 featuring our own All-American Marching Band.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
