Purdue University Fort Wayne has set a new benchmark for generosity, raising a record-breaking $1,505,909 during its 24-hour Day of Giving on April 29. The milestone represents the largest amount raised in recent years and reflects an extraordinary outpouring of support from alumni, donors, faculty, staff, students, and community partners.

These investments will help us prepare the next generation of leaders, innovators, and professionals who will drive the economic future of our region.”…
