The College of Science is excited to participate in the Graduate Gateway: Caps‑Off Celebration, a campus‑wide event honoring Purdue’s graduating students as they prepare to cross the stage and take their next steps as alumni. This celebratory afternoon brings together graduates, families, and campus partners for fun, connection, and Purdue pride.

Hosted on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 1:00–3:00 p.m. on Memorial Mall, the Caps‑Off Celebration features interactive activities, games, photo opportunities, treats, and prizes—creating a festive send‑off for the Class of 2026. The event also provides opportunities for graduates to learn how to stay connected with Purdue and engage as new alumni.

Stop by the College of Science table to put your skills to the test with our Math Flip Cup game! Participants will race to solve quick math challenges while flipping cups for a fun twist on this competitive game. Prizes will be awarded to winners, so bring your speed, accuracy, and Boilermaker spirit.

Whether you’re celebrating your own milestone or supporting a graduating Boilermaker, we invite you to join us on Memorial Mall for this high‑energy celebration marking the close of one chapter and the beginning of another.
