More than 7,000 incoming students are expected to participate in programs designed to welcome them to campus before classes begin. Purdue's West Lafayette students attending Boiler Gold Rush will move into their on-campus housing on Monday and Tuesday (Aug. 12-13), and the BGR program will follow the rest of the week. BGR is preceded by Boiler Gold Rush International, which runs Friday through Tuesday (Aug. 9-13).

Could the Indiana University and Purdue University rivalry have started before athletics were introduced on the two campuses? Before Purdue could be established in 1869, John Purdue and Lafayette were in a bidding war against Indiana University to become Indiana’s land-grant school. Indiana University had an established school and campus, but John Purdue had a vision for starting a school in Tippecanoe County. The story of Purdue’s founding is featured in a nearly 10-minute video as part of Purdue’s “Boiler Bytes” series.
