Dear Purdue University colleagues,

After careful thought and reflection, and a rigorous search process, today we announce that Calumet Chancellor Tom Keon will be chancellor-designate of Purdue University Northwest. The attached news release is currently being distributed throughout the state of Indiana.

I hope you'll join me in congratulating Chancellor Keon and in thanking the search committee for their thoughtful and thorough work.

I look forward to the future success of Purdue Northwest.

Sincerely,

President Mitch Daniels

Keon chosen as chancellor-designate of Purdue University Northwest
