Here’s What’s Happening Now

Your time at #Purdue lasts a few years — but the impact lasts a lifetime. The journey continues, and you might just change the world. The next chapter starts now.
The #PurdueChristmasShow is celebrating its 90th anniversary this weekend with four performances at Elliott Hall of Music. Meet some of the @PurduePMO leaders and performers who are proud to carry on one of #Purdue’s beloved holiday traditions. 🎄🎅 Link in bio.
As a former @PurduePMO performer, Bill Walker already recognized the #PurdueChristmasShow’s important place as a university holiday tradition. 🎄🎅 But this year the show will take on new meaning for Walker. Two of his children, @Purduettes senior Molly and @PurdueVarsityGleeClub freshman Sam, will perform on the same stage for the first time. Meet the Walkers and learn why they believe family connections are common among PMO’s Christmas Show performers. Link in bio.
Boilermakers are proud of our legacy in space exploration. 🚀 We’ve created a place to honor that history — and to celebrate the discoveries that will help adventurous Purdue explorers take their next giant leaps in space. Follow the link in bio to check out the new space-themed page on Purdue’s official storytelling platform, “The Persistent Pursuit.”
My time at #Purdue prepared me for the small steps to accomplish my next giant leap. Now my life is mine to do whatever I want.
Raven Colvin is persistently pursuing excellence alongside her team. 🏐 Good luck to @purduevb in the first round of the @ncaavolleyball all tournament tonight at 7 p.m. ET in Holloway Gymnasium. #BoilerUp
