State & Waldron Society
Who Are We?
For over 70 years, the corner of State & Waldron has been the intersection for generations of Jewish Boilermakers looking for Jewish community during their time at Purdue University. No matter your major, career path, or current address, thousands of alumni have a love and appreciation for Purdue University Hillel. We yearn to prevent our alumni from losing their connection while supporting our young alumni under the age of thirty as they transition into their professional careers.
The State & Waldron Society is Purdue Hillel’s young alumni giving community that is the antidote. When our young alumni give monthly to Purdue Hillel, Purdue Hillel will prevent alumni from losing their connection by giving alumni continued access to the rhythm of campus life, quarterly networking opportunities and skills-building workshops with alumni who are industry leaders, and so much more.

Hillel Global Giving Week
Shalom fans and friends of Purdue Hillel!
Our profound gratitude to the scores of supporters who helped us raise over $17,000 to support Jewish life at Purdue during Hillel Global Giving Week. This week was a challenging one for our Jewish Boilermakers, as the university announced that Parents' Weekend this fall is in direct conflict with Rosh Hashanah. Now, more than ever, the work we do at Purdue Hillel to educate and advocate on behalf of our Jewish students can't be underestimated. The ongoing support of our parents, grandparents, alumni, fans, and friends helps ensure that Jewish life at Purdue can thrive. We are working with the university in hopes of a date change for the fall as well as a commitment to not allowing this to happen again in future years. Thank you so much for your ongoing support.
With gratitude,
Purdue Hillel Student Leadership, Professional Staff, and Governing Board
