PURDUE PRIDE
HAIL, HAIL TO OLD PURDUE!
With many rich traditions and a global reach, Purdue’s flagship West Lafayette campus is home to a community of more than 60,000 students, faculty and staff. Renowned initially for programs in agriculture and engineering, Purdue now boasts 200-plus majors and more than 160 graduate programs. In addition, we have nearly 1,000 diverse student organizations across a range of interests and activities.
TRADITION AND LEGACY
BOILERMAKER
In the 1890s, a newspaper referred to our winning football team as the “Burly Boiler Makers from Purdue.” The nickname stuck.
‘HAIL PURDUE!’
Although university events are the most likely place for Boilermakers to join in a chorus of Purdue’s official fight song, it’s not uncommon to hear it somewhere on campus every day.
BOILERMAKER SPECIAL
Purdue’s official mascot is the Boilermaker Special locomotive, which can be seen all over campus as well as at every home or away football game, no matter how far — it can go up to 75 mph! The first rendition of the Special was presented to the student body Sept. 11, 1940.
PURDUE PETE
AN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
Purdue has a diverse student body, with students from 127 countries. We have more than 4,000 undergraduate international students and more than 5,300 at the graduate and professional levels.
OUR UNIVERSAL PLACE IN SPACE
Purdue is called the Cradle of Astronauts for good reason. Twenty-seven graduates have become astronauts, including the first and most recent people to walk on the moon. And we have an even broader link to space exploration. Many Purdue professors and students — past and present — are deeply involved in research that advances our reach into space while improving lives on Earth.
purdue.edu/space NETWORK
Pete is our unofficial mascot and one of the most recognized characters in NCAA sports. Although he’s undergone a few makeovers, you’ll usually see him with trademark helmet and hammer, ready to cheer the Boilermakers on to victory.
