On Saturday (Feb. 15), Purdue University President Mung Chiang announced the launch of "Victories & Heroes: Your Campaign for Purdue." The goal of the fundraising campaign — the largest in the university’s history — is $4 billion raised by early 2030.
Purdue’s nearly 13,000 graduate students, the most ever, are a priority of the university’s strategic commitment and increased investment in creating a culture of achievement and excellence at scale. These efforts are accelerating an already-strong demand for the next generation of leaders seeking an advanced degree through Purdue and solidified its standing in granting the nation’s third-most PhDs.

Currently, 24 weekly round-trip flights to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport are being offered.
