Purdue University President Mung Chiang announced Friday (April 28) Purdue@DC, an initiative that will amplify the university’s presence in Washington, D.C.
Through the new initiative, Purdue brings to the capital unique strengths in national security, tech diplomacy, semiconductor talent and other policy research.
“As the most consequential public university in America, Purdue has a special responsibility to bring all that Boilermakers have to offer to the capital,” Chiang said. “Through Purdue@DC, we will both strengthen the impact of existing programs in D.C. and deploy new ones that bring many more faculty and students to national public service.”
