In this edition of our newsletter, you\u2019ll discover inspiring stories\u2014from a student-founded bakery honoring a cherished family legacy, to a wellness app born out of personal adversity, and a new book, The Profitable Entrepreneur, which distills years of experience into a valuable resource for aspiring founders. Each venture showcases how passion, creativity, and perseverance fuel entrepreneurial success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also excited to highlight a major milestone: the successful launch of the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the new Purdue Indianapolis location. This dynamic urban environment opens new avenues for collaboration between students, entrepreneurs, and industry. The expansion of Purdue\u2019s entrepreneurial footprint is off to a great start!<\/p>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"section has-padding-top-large has-padding-bottom-large  page-layout-wide page-layout-two-column page-layout-two-column-divider page-layout-two-column-verticalCenter\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n                <div class=\"tagged-header-container tagged-header-container--content-block tagged-header-container-gold\">\n            <h2 class=\"tagged-header tagged-header--gold\">FEATURED STORY<\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns page-layout-columns columns is-multiline is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column column is-full-tablet page-layout-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">A Purdue Student Runs 10.10 Bakery While Honoring Family Legacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Purdue senior Ayanna Thompson opened 10.10 Bakery on October 10, 2024, she wasn\u2019t just starting a business\u2014she was fulfilling a dream rooted in family, tradition, and love. The bakery, located at 128 N. Main Street in Monticello, Indiana, takes its name from a date that holds deep personal meaning: her late sister\u2019s birthday.
