Executive in Residence Learning Community
The Executive in Residence (EiR) learning community will provide an exclusive and unique opportunity for residents to get hands-on experience with Purdue alumni who are at the top of their companies and industries. Students will gain one-on-one mentoring and professional development with our Executive in Residence alumni. Students in this learning community will get exclusive access to the Executives outside of regularly scheduled EiR events, including on-site visits with Executives in their places of business and hometowns. There are no required or prerequisite courses associated with this learning community. There is a strong preference for students who have participated in previous Executive in Residence programs, however, this is not a requirement.
Eligibility
Any current student admitted to any college/school/major
Residential Component
- Optional. The location of learning community housing will be determined based on the incoming size and needs of the learning community.
- A signed housing contract is required to apply to this learning community. Once a housing contract is completed, you will indicate your learning community housing preference within the learning community application. Applications received by the priority deadline will be considered first.
- If you want to be placed with a preferred roommate and be admitted to a learning community with an optional residential component, both you and your roommate must apply (and be admitted) to a learning community with an optional residential component. Students admitted to learning communities with a required residential component cannot be paired with students admitted to learning communities with an optional residential component.
- For specific question regarding learning communities, email learningcommunities@purdue.edu.
- Completing a housing contract is a separate process from applying to a learning community. If you have questions about housing, contact University Residences (https://www.housing.purdue.edu/) at housing@purdue.edu.
