Urban Indiana

What: Purdue's first comprehensive urban campus
Purdue University in Indianapolis is part of Purdue University West Lafayette, with multiple locations throughout the city of Indianapolis. It bookends America's Hard Tech Corridor, which extends from West Lafayette through new investments in Lebanon's LEAP Innovation District to downtown Indianapolis. It positions our students, faculty and staff in close proximity to top businesses and leading industries, providing new and unique executive education and internship opportunities. Its chief academic officer is David Umulis, senior vice provost and professor, who reports to Provost Patrick Wolfe, and its chief operating officer is Daniel Hasler, former Indiana secretary of commerce.

Why: Economic growth, brain gain and job creation for Indiana
Responding to repeated calls from the state we serve as its land grant institution, Purdue will invest in and partner with Indianapolis to together grow the tech-driven economy in central Indiana. We will expand enrollment. We will build startups. We will create new knowledge. We will maximize Indy's unique strengths, including sports and biomedical technology. We will connect talents and industry. Boilermakers are excited to serve the people, businesses and communities of Indianapolis; to generate workforce, jobs and innovation together; and to build the most consequential engine of economic growth and brain gain in the Midwest.
