  • Industry Liaisons allow industry to build a meaningful connection with students by posting educational messages on our website. If desired, the message can be targeted to a specific student population. For example, a company can explain the cool things they are making and how they relate to what is being taught in certain programs at Purdue. It could also encourage students to take certain classes or develop certain skills in order to be able to join them upon graduation.
