The 12th annual Boilermaker Ball, the signature event of the Purdue Alumni Association, will be held Feb. 23 at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. The deadline to register is Feb. 15.

This year’s Giant Leap Forward theme celebrates the University’s sesquicentennial and imagines Purdue in the year 2169 -- 150 years from now.

The creative black tie event brings together Boilermakers from all walks of life to celebrate Purdue. Highlights will include virtual reality simulations, a silent auction, dinner, dancing and live entertainment by the Endless Summer Band.

Individual reservations can be made as well as reserving a table for friends or co-workers.

Purdue’s College of Engineering is the event’s lead benefactor. Students from the college will be on hand to showcase projects that predict our high-tech future.
