Boilerplate for Boilermakers
Purdue’s boilerplate, revised in January 2025 and presented below, provides key high-level information about the university for journalists, media outlets and external general audiences. It is the standard statement for who we are, how we excel and what makes Purdue a world-class higher education institution and a driver of innovation. This statement may be used in marketing pieces as well as in the news releases produced by Strategic Communications.
