WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The new Purdue Parents & Families Club — established through a partnership between Purdue Athletics and Purdue Student Life — offers more ways to engage parents, families and students.
This new membership opportunity will allow parents and families access to a variety of unique and exclusive Purdue experiences to help build a deeper connection to the university where their students reside. This new organization will also increase available resources to enhance the campus experience for more than 41,000 students each year.
“In Student Life, we bring together all the pieces of Purdue — housing, activities, arts, people, programs — and now we are excited to partner with Purdue Athletics to provide a one-of-a-kind giving society that all Purdue parents and families can take advantage of while their student is on campus,” said Dr. Beth McCuskey, vice provost for student life.
Members of the Parents & Families Club will have the opportunity to take advantage of priority access to Purdue Athletics tickets and parking by receiving a John Purdue Club membership, exclusive special event invitations, quarterly touchpoints from campus leadership and special discounts through local restaurants and businesses in the Purdue community.
All Purdue parents and families can join for an annual membership fee of $500, which will provide opportunities for Boilermaker students to connect, learn and lead outside the classroom.
“We are excited to move forward with Purdue Student Life on this partnership,” said Mike Bobinski, vice president and director of intercollegiate athletics. “The Purdue Parents & Families Club will offer a distinctive experience for all of our families involved in the Boilermaker community, while continuing to grow our ability to invest in the student experience.”
Additional benefits of joining include early access to tickets for Family Weekend (Oct. 14–16), discounts at the Purdue Team Store and Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, discounts on select Purdue Convocations shows and more.
