The Purdue University Board of Trustees voted Friday (Oct. 1) to rename the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management in honor of the longstanding financial and in-kind support of White Lodging. Effective immediately, Purdue’s School of Hospitality and Tourism Management will officially be known as the White Lodging-J.W. Marriott, Jr. School of Hospitality and Tourism Management.

For the first time in program history, Purdue supporters will be able to earn John Purdue Club priority points through all giving across Purdue University’s main campus. Beginning with this year’s Purdue Day of Giving on April 30, contributions to non-athletics units will now qualify for priority points, offering donors more ways to engage with and support Purdue while strengthening the university’s philanthropic impact.
