The Launch Pad 

The Launch Pad is a vibrant student hub and gathering space at the heart of campus, designed to bring Boilermakers together. Throughout the year, we host events that spark connection, foster belonging and strengthen Purdue’s tight-knit community in Indianapolis. 

Volunteers stand behind tables covered with fall-themed tablecloths serving food for the Friendsgiving event at The Launch Pad.
