In this episode of “This Is Purdue,” we’re talking to Anthony Cawdron, Westwood event coordinator and estate manager, and adjunct hospitality and tourism management faculty member.
Westwood has been home to four Purdue University presidents and their families since it was donated to the university in 1971, and for the last 24 years, Anthony has been instrumental in the operations of what he calls the “front door to Purdue University.”

- Discover his path from working in several castles in Europe to his time in America and following former President Martin Jischke from Iowa State to Purdue
- Explore behind-the-scenes stories of Westwood from its interesting history to what it takes to host events for guests ranging from Boilermaker students and faculty to U.S. secretaries of state
- Gain insight into what Anthony teaches his students about networking, job interviews and standing out at professional events through his business etiquette course in Purdue’s White Lodging-J.W. Marriott, Jr. School of Hospitality and Tourism Management
- Get to know how much the Purdue community means to Anthony and why he has stayed here for over two decades
- Hear about the honor of Anthony receiving the 2024 Special Boilermaker Award

Tina loved visiting the Purdue Memorial Union Christmas tree each holiday season — so much so that she dreamed of contributing to the tradition herself someday.
