The 2023 Summit occurred March 2, 2023. Registration has ended. We’ll see you next year!

Overview

This year’s Summit was a wonderful celebration of engagement! We brought 200+ faculty, staff, students, and community partners back together – in person – to celebrate the impact we made when we were apart, create new connections, and recognize incredible work. The Summit included lightning talks from engaged faculty, staff, and students, a student showcase, and a networking happy hour.

Students

Community

“This was a wonderful way to get to know not just Purdue, but also the entire Lafayette community. Everyone was so interactive and collaborative. Great event overall!”

Student Showcase

Students from across Purdue’s campuses were invited to showcase community engagement projects as part of service-learning courses or engagement activities. The top three presentations in each category (poster and digital story) were awarded cash prizes of $150, $100, and $50, respectively. Access all the Showcase presentations on the Showcase Presentation Site.
