Krannert to celebrate 50th anniversary with lecture, panels, alumni

**Krannert skywalk**

Purdue will celebrate 50 years of the Krannert School of Management on Oct. 25-26 with alumni panels, musical activities and speakers, including former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell and Nobel Prize laureate Vernon Smith.

"Krannert has undergone many changes over the last 50 years, as has the entire field of business and management," said Richard A. Cosier, Krannert School dean and Leeds Professor of Management. "Since I came to Purdue in 1999, we've been able to complete funding of Rawls Hall with the generous help of people like Jerry Rawls, who made the lead $10 million gift for the construction of the state-of-the-art classroom building. It's our brick-and-mortar testament to education at Krannert, but it's really our faculty and our students who will keep us moving forward with great research and innovative thinking." More
