Letter from the President

Fellow Purdue Engineering Alumni,

I hope you enjoyed seeing and experiencing last year’s celebration regarding 150 years of Purdue Engineering. It gives me a tremendous sense of pride not only to see the history but also the exciting plans for the future. The engagement of alumni is one of the many qualities that helps set Purdue Engineering apart from other programs and helps to achieve “Excellence at Scale”. As the Engineering Alumni Board of Directors, we are working to enhance the alumni experience and make it even easier to connect. The last year was a successful one, with on-going activities in areas such as our annual awards, the Grad Connect mentoring program, and additional improvements in our Digital Communications and engagement in regional events. We’ve added several new directors to our board that bring unique experiences and many ideas for on-going improvement. Please help me in welcoming Pritesh Patel, Raj Melkote and Jill Inglis to the board. We are eager for alumni to be engaged with the board through interest as directors, nominating fellow alumni for awards or as mentors in the Grad Connect program. The easiest way to connect with any of us is through our LinkedIn profile.

Boiler up!!

Scott Burdick
