PNW recognized as Tier 1 Collegiate Purple Star of Indiana institution
Purdue University Northwest (PNW) has been designated a Collegiate Purple Star of Indiana institution by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. This designation recognizes PNW’s commitment to supporting the military-affiliated student population at the university – from application to graduation.
PNW named a “Best for Vets” university
Purdue University Northwest (PNW) has been recognized as a “Best for Vets” university by Military Times, an independent news organization focused on the U.S. military community. This recognition acknowledges PNW’s commitment to supporting student veterans from application to graduation.
I see this as an opportunity to learn from different leaders and peers who have balanced being in uniform and school and ultimately have a successful career.
Finding other women who have served, being able to share relatable stories and understanding with each other and learning about your strengths and weaknesses will definitely be helpful.
