Purdue Foundation Student Board
Ensuring private giving endures through the past, present, and future Boilermakers.
The Purdue Foundation Student Board offers students the opportunity to learn about the importance of philanthropy and its impact on their lives.

The students represent the University on all levels and leave a positive, lasting impression of Purdue with everyone they interact with.
