Boilermaker families gathered under sunny skies as Purdue’s First Family proudly hosted the fourth annual Easter egg hunt Sunday (March 29) at Westwood.

The spring tradition featured two egg hunt sessions for faculty, staff and graduate student families with children ages 12 and under, turning the lawn into a lively scene of baskets, bright colors and excited young egg hunters.

More than 240 Boilermaker children enjoyed Easter-themed treats, dashed across the grass in search of eggs and took part in festive photo opportunities.
