In honor of First-Generation College Student Day, which is celebrated each year on November 8, Purdue Global presented 22 students with First-Generation College Student Scholarships. Recipients received $500 toward their Purdue Global tuition and fees. The number of recipients is based on the funds raised annually through the Purdue for Life Foundation.

The Purdue University Board of Trustees recently ratified faculty and staff appointments and approved a new degree program, a merger, organizational name changes, posthumous degrees, resolutions of appreciation, and namings.
