Meet theatre and communication
major Sarah Studzinski
"In high school I did EVERYTHING. I was one of those students who participated in marching band, theatre, show choir, honors classes, Girl Scouts, and community volunteer activities. When looking for a college, I wanted the opportunity to explore my many passions. The College of Liberal Arts at Purdue has made that possible. It provides an arena to learn, grow, and explore. Find a place to explore your passions."
The staff of the African American Studies and Research Center
The staff of the African American Studies and Research Center, which opens students to other cultures through program courses. With a mission to educate students about experiences of African Americans and the broader African diaspora, Director Venetria Patton and her colleagues depend on cultural touch points like religion, literature, and film to explore issues of inequality.
Assistant professor of Spanish
and African American Studies Antonio Tillis
Antonio Tillis, assistant professor of Spanish and African American Studies, loves the interdisciplinary nature of the program. "Interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial to my research," says Tillis. "Theoretical principles from literary studies, political science, history, sociology, and more are germane to my work." Tillis studies the African diaspora to gain a fuller understanding of the global nature and presence of people of African descent as well as the consequences of slavery and other historical events on people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Weldon School of
Biomedical Engineering
Dedicated in 2006, Purdue's new $25 million biomedical engineering building in 2006 is first of its kind in Indiana. George Wodicka, head of the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, says the flagship 91,000-square-foot facility will help meet the growing need for biomedical engineers in industry, healthcare environments, and academia. Purdue is taking the field full circle by first educating students in the field, then employing biomedical engineering researchers to apply their knowledge to create valuable medical solutions.
