Purdue University Northwest

One university with two campuses, Purdue University Northwest offers innovative education to students of northwest Indiana and beyond. Balancing an urban and rural setting, PNW offers one-of-a-kind proximity to active manufacturing, relaxing lakefront, and the nearby opportunities of Chicago. Chancellor Chris Holford brings with him a legacy of accomplishment at Purdue University Northwest. His priorities include academic and research excellence, quality of the student experience, the importance of developing a highly trained workforce, and the enrichment and economic growth of the regional community. 2021-2022 marked the fifth anniversary of the establishment of Purdue Northwest and the 75th anniversaries of our legacy institutions, Purdue Calumet and Purdue North Central. We celebrated with a yearlong tribute, “Roaring Ahead,” that focused on the many ways Purdue Northwest transforms students’ lives and our metropolitan region, driving engagement and pushing the boundaries of innovation. PNW planned several university-wide events open to the entire community. More importantly, individual units, departments and colleges were encouraged to plan their own events to look to our future while celebrating our history.
