Purdue Northwest Faculty and Staff Receive Complimentary Admission to Athletic Events

Dear Purdue Northwest Faculty and Staff,

As we begin the 2026–27 academic year, Purdue Northwest Athletics would like to thank you for your continued partnership in supporting the success of our student-athletes both academically and athletically.

As a token of our appreciation, all Purdue Northwest faculty and staff will receive complimentary admission to regular-season home Lions athletic events throughout the 2026–27 academic year. In addition, each faculty or staff member may bring one guest free of charge.

To take advantage of this opportunity, simply present your valid PNW ID at the entrance to any regular-season home contest. Your guest will also be admitted at no cost.

Purdue Northwest Athletics proudly sponsors 22 sports and competes in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), Great Lakes 6 Hockey Conference (GL6) and the Central Collegiate Women’s Hockey Association (CCWHA). Our student-athletes continue to excel both in competition and in the classroom. Thanks in large part to the outstanding support of PNW faculty and staff, our student-athletes have achieved 21 consecutive semesters with a cumulative GPA above 3.0. This remarkable accomplishment reflects our shared commitment to student success and academic excellence.

We would also like to invite you and your family to attend PNW Sports Fest on Sunday, September 27. Sports Fest is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Purdue Northwest Athletics, meet our student-athletes and coaches, enjoy family-friendly activities, and show your support for the Lions as we embark on another exciting year of competition.  The Lions athletic competition schedules are available at pnwathletics.com.

We encourage you to take advantage of this complimentary admission throughout the year and help create a vibrant home atmosphere for our Lions. Your presence at our events not only enhances the game-day experience but also demonstrates the strong sense of community that makes Purdue Northwest such a special place.

Thank you for your continued dedication to the students and Purdue University Northwest. We look forward to seeing you and your guest at Sports Fest and at Lions athletic events throughout the year.

Go Lions!

Rick Costello
Director of Athletics
