Boilermaker families gathered under sunny skies as Purdue President Mung Chiang and First Lady Kei Hui proudly hosted the third annual Easter egg hunt Saturday (April 12) at Westwood. The egg hunt featured two sessions at 1 and 2 p.m. for faculty, staff and graduate student families with children ages 12 and under.

Over 200 Boilermaker children ate special Easter-themed treats and took part in the egg hunts and photo opportunities.

The Easter egg hunt event was well attended, with more than 120 Boilermaker families selected by lottery for each of the two sessions. (Purdue University photo/Charles Jischke)
