Map the origins of Purdue University faculty, staff and students, and you'll see the vibrant geography that enriches our collective experiences: 125 countries and 6 continents represented among 55,000 individuals.
But erase the dots and examine our paths outward from West Lafayette, Indiana, and the image is just as rich. And rightly so, because as a land grant university of the 21st century, we are compelled to reach out to the world.
The issues we face here are simultaneously global and local. Hunger. Disease. Poverty. Climate change. True solutions require broad, long term and sustainable collaborations among people with distinct but complementary perspectives.
At Purdue University, we are energized by our broadening global footprint. Travel along with us as we seek to make the world a better place.
