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.

Spring Resilience is a community event hosted in The Launch Pad that brings together students, faculty, staff, and community partners for an evening of connection, reflection, and engagement. Through interactive experiences and shared moments, the event creates space to recharge, build relationships, and strengthen community during a pivotal point in the semester. Food will be provided by His Place Eatery and a New York–style halal vendor.
