A professor’s impact can go a long way, even lasting decades.


Robert Altenkirch (ME’70, PhD ME’75), Cliff Owens (ME’70, MS ME’72), and Steve Plee (ME’73, MS ME’75, PhD ME’78) recently teamed up to name a classroom in the Mechanical Engineering Building after Arthur “Mac” Mellor, a former professor and friend who died in 2022.

Growing up on a farm in Daleville, Indiana, Mary Findling (LA’72) didn’t have the opportunity to travel. While studying abroad as a Purdue student, however, she developed a deep passion for seeing the world and now enjoys providing others with similar experiences.
