More than 1,000 new Boilermakers will launch their collegiate careers next week, looking to make the next giant leap in their lives. The students are participating in Purdue’s Summer Start and Early Start programs, which allow students to arrive early, take summer classes for credit and become adjusted to life on campus. The programs have both in-person and online components. This group of students will be the first to take in-person classes since March, when the COVID-19 pandemic shifted classes online.

Photos were taken before Purdue instituted remote learning and social distancing in March 2020 and the requirement for face masks while indoors and in close-quarters settings.

When agronomy professor Eileen Kladivko began her career at Purdue, little did she realize that for the next 35 years, she would work on a water drainage project that she initially learned about during her interview. Drainage improves timeliness of fieldwork by one to 15 days, corn yields, and cover crop growth, and it enables other conservation practices to work better.
