Purdue University has announced the launch of Victories & Heroes: Your Campaign for Purdue, a historic fundraising initiative aimed at raising $4 billion by early 2030. University President Mung Chiang unveiled the campaign, calling it the largest in Purdue’s history.
The effort will support Purdue’s endowment growth while advancing key university priorities, including its urban expansion in Indianapolis, the Mitch Daniels School of Business, Purdue Computes, and One Health. The campaign will also bolster Purdue Athletics and other strategic areas, funding scholarships, research, facilities, and academic programs.
The announcement comes as Purdue continues to see record-breaking achievements. Fall enrollment reached 58,009 across its main campus in West Lafayette, Indianapolis, and online, driven by unprecedented demand. West Lafayette welcomed its most selective incoming class to date.
The university remains among the world’s top 100 institutions and ranks No. 1 among public universities in Indiana. It is also No. 8 among U.S. public universities, with 31 undergraduate and graduate programs ranked in the nation’s top 10.

How much money have they wasted on DEI initiatives in the last decade? There are very few white males getting seats in engineering in West Lafayette, even as a plurality of the freshman engineering seats are going to overseas students.
Beg for money elsewhere, Mitch.
Purdue has not raised its tuition fees for 13 years at this point. I agree that too many seats go to foreign nationals; but from a business plan standpoint they pay full tuition as opposed to in state rates.
Also, Mitch is no longer there…I know it’s a nit to pick. It’s the Hong Kong born Chiang.
Yeah, old habit. I know he’s gone, but I still use that phrase when they fundraise. I also curse him every time change…
Freezing tuition doesn’t help American students if they can’t get in.
