Student Life Vision
Student Life fosters student success through learning opportunities inside and outside of the classroom. We focus on co-curricular education and leadership development as integral parts of the Purdue experience. In collaboration with our colleagues across campus, we challenge students, faculty and staff to explore the value of working and learning together as leaders in our local communities and our global society.
Student Life acts responsibly in all endeavors to uphold the highest professional principles and practices as we fulfill our pledges to our students.
