Engagement Board
Strengthening Alumni Relationships
In May 2024, the College of Education reorganized the former Dean’s Advisory Council and established the Education Engagement Board as the new advisory group. The board’s purpose is to support Purdue’s College of Education, facilitate communication between the school and its alumni, provide professional growth programs, and strengthen alumni relationships with the University and the Purdue for Life Foundation.
