Purdue ushered in a new era in hospitality to campus with the reopening Wednesday (Aug. 5) of the historic Union Club Hotel. The 182-room hotel recently completed a comprehensive $35 million, yearlong renovation that included a complete overhaul of all guest rooms and public spaces and the launch of three new dining outlets: 8Eleven Bistro, Leaps Coffee, and Boiler Up Bar. The hotel also will be used as a hands-on learning laboratory for students in Purdue’s School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, a program expected to roll out in 2021.

Jessica in Sponsored Program Services was key to us being able to submit a large proposal to NSF. It involved deft maneuvering with 14 faculty members involved across Purdue; University of Michigan; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; University of Chicago; University of California, Irvine; Stanford University; and MIT. Jessica did it splendidly, handling emails and phone calls like the expert that she is. I heard from PIs and administrative personnel at the partner institutions that they also came away impressed with Jessica. – Saurabh Bagchi (Electrical and Computer Engineering)
