Purdue's Horticulture Gardens bring color to campus
The Horticulture Gardens at Purdue's West Lafayette campus are a source of knowledge and beauty for students and visitors, alike. The gardens are a living classroom. There, university classes meet, student workers and volunteers get hands-on training in garden maintenance, and visitors learn about garden plants and gardening techniques. And the gardens are a retreat. Their beauty and soothing atmosphere make them as much a place to enjoy as to learn. In just under half an acre, the gardens display a wide diversity of plants, including over 300 cultivars of annual flowers and garden vegetables. Collections have grown to encompass nearly 200 species of perennial flowers and foliage plants. Special collections include peonies, daylilies, hosta, spring-flowering bulbs, and ornamental grasses.Job fairs offer both internships and full-time employment opportunities

The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering
Dedicated in 2006, Purdue's new $25 million biomedical engineering building in 2006 is first of its kind in Indiana. George Wodicka, head of the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, says the flagship 91,000-square-foot facility will help meet the growing need for biomedical engineers in industry, healthcare environments, and academia. Purdue is taking the field full circle by first educating students in the field, then employing biomedical engineering researchers to apply their knowledge to create valuable medical solutions.Indiana winters bring fun and snow
Greg Zawisza Scholarship recipient Jeena Volenec
"The Greg Zawisza Scholarship has allowed me to worry less about college tuition and focus more on my education. Having this scholarship has lessened the burden on both me and my parents and has increased my appreciation of the education I’m receiving. Scholarships give students opportunities they wouldn’t have otherwise. These scholarships change lives, and students who receive them are most appreciative of those who give them."Purdue launches drive for scholarships, programs
