YOUR QUARTERLY CAMPAIGN UPDATE | FALL 2015

Together, We Are Purdue

Welcome to the inaugural edition of Ever True, our quarterly e-newsletter designed to share updates, strategic initiatives, donor profiles, and news stories related to Ever True: The Campaign for Purdue University.

Launched publicly on Friday, October 9, 2015, this campaign introduces three fundraising priorities — Place Students First, Build on Our Strengths, and Champion Research and Innovation — aimed at empowering Purdue’s excellence in providing higher education at the highest proven value.

The goal is $2.019 billion raised by 2019, the 150th anniversary year of Purdue’s founding and the 50th anniversary year of alumnus Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon.

What Does Ever True Mean to You?

The campaign’s theme comes from Purdue’s fight song, “Hail Purdue!” Student James Morrison wrote the lyrics in 1912. Today, the century-old song is memorialized on the Hail Purdue Wall, including the well-known phrase “Ever Grateful, Ever True.” Share your Purdue passions, photos, and stories with the Purdue family to express what Ever True means to you.

They’re Playing Our Song!
