Purdue University is a world-renowned public research institution located in West Lafayette, Indiana. Founded in 1869, Purdue is known for its strong engineering, science, and technology programs, as well as its commitment to innovation, accessibility, and real-world impact. With a diverse student body and a focus on hands-on learning, Purdue prepares graduates to lead in a rapidly changing global economy. The university is consistently ranked among the top public universities in the United States.
Every three seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood—patients in trauma centers, cancer treatment, or undergoing surgery. Yet fewer young people are donating, putting the stability of our blood supply at risk. That’s where you come in. Purdue students have the power to lead a movement—one donation at a time—by stepping into the role that aging donors are leaving behind. The need is real. The impact is immediate. The opportunity is yours.
Across campus, student organizations are teaming up with Versiti Blood Center of Indiana to make a difference. From the University Blood Initiative and the ABE Graduate Student Organization to Air Force ROTC, Greek Life, Purdue Bands and Musical Organizations, Residence Halls, and research groups at Purdue Research Park—Boilermakers are showing up to give back. Together, you're helping meet the critical needs of Indiana hospitals and saving lives in our own communities.
