Purdue IE Webletter

Spring 2014
 
 
An exciting spring for Purdue IE!

Abhi DeshmukhGreetings to all of the Purdue IE family! 

This is proving to be a very busy and exciting spring on campus and especially here in Grissom Hall -- where we are preparing to relocate temporarily while the home of Purdue IE receives a transformational renovation! (You'll find much more information about the renovation in the summer edition of the Purdue IE Webletter!)

In the meantime, I invite to you to read the articles below about some of our many outstanding alums and students and some of the great things happening here at the school as we continue to work to Rethink IE!

Wishing you all a fun and rejuvenating summer!
