Purdue Day of Giving is next Wednesday! Save the date for April 30, 2025, and join friends and alumni of Purdue University on a day to give back to the old gold and black.
The Orientation Programs team hopes to have 100 individual donations in 2025. If 100 or more donations are received, additional bonus money would go directly to our three accounts; Class of 1963 Scholarship, BGR Gift Account, and Kasi Jones Memorial Scholarship. These three important accounts have a wide-ranging impact on the program. For more information about these accounts, visit this website.
