Mack PruittCo-Chair
Mack Pruitt (she/they) has been with Purdue University since June of 2022. She is a Senior Student Affairs Specialist in the Student Activities and Organizations (SAO) office within Student Life. In their free time, Mack loves swimming, weightlifting, cooking, painting, and spending quality time with her loved ones. Community is an integral part of feeling as though you belong where you live. While the Boilermaker community welcomed Mack with open arms, she was searching for a group of folks who shared similar interests, identities, values, and struggles who they could both support and feel supported by. PEP came along at the right time and they are so excited to be able to help continue to provide this community for others.
