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.

Parents Weekend 2023
The Purdue Hillel Foundation is aware of the University's announcement of Parents weekend which is in direct conflict with Rosh Hashanah. We are actively working with the Provost's Office and the Office of Student life on this issue. We have engaged in dialogue to avoid something like this happening in the future and are also actively working on an alternative weekend of activities. More details on those plans are forthcoming.
