Campaign Progress Accelerating
with Two-thirds Raised, One-third to Go

Welcome to the first 2017 edition of Ever True. As of January 31, 2017, we stand at $1.38 billion raised by more than 161,000 donors. We are now more than 65 percent through the campaign’s timeline and, thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends like you, we’ve reached more than 68 percent of our goal to raise $2.019 billion by 2019.

This will be a transformational year at Purdue: the University’s joint venture with the City of West Lafayette, the State Street corridor project, is underway. In tandem, we also will create one of the nation’s first university-based “innovation districts.” You can read about these and other important priorities—such as Purdue Polytechnic High School, the Purdue-sponsored charter high school in inner-city Indianapolis—in President Mitch Daniels’ annual open letter to the people of Purdue.

Meanwhile, the campaign continues to accelerate the ambitious Purdue Moves initiatives—affordability and accessibility, STEM leadership, world-changing research, and transformative education—by supporting three fundraising priorities captured in these video clips:

Place Students First Build on Our Strengths Champion Research & Innovation

It’s all about empowering Purdue’s commitment to excellence in providing higher education at the highest proven value.
