Help support Boilermakers and let your voice be heard by completing this survey on Purdue's master plan. Thank you to the Purdue Asian Alumni Network and their co-leader, Z Zakaria, for sharing this with us!
"Purdue's new master plan is ambitious — expanding classrooms, renovating spaces, improving housing and dining, opening up green spaces, and strengthening the campus identity. As an alumni, I am proud to see the growth and vision of my great alma mater.
But here’s a question: where do cultural centers, like the Asian American and Asian Resource and Cultural Center (AAARCC) fit in the master plan?
Having individual spaces for different cultural centers that is open to ALL students enhances these goals:
- They fuel teaching & collaboration through workshops and intercultural learning.
- They make strategic investments in community, not just buildings.
- They enrich housing & dining by supporting living-learning communities.
- They strengthen campus circulation by creating gathering points and bridges across differences.
- They embody campus identity by showing that inclusion is part of Purdue’s DNA.
For many alumni, cultural centers like the AAARCC provided a home away from home. For those who came before it—imagine how different your experience might have been with a space like this.
The master plan doesn’t yet show the AAARCC’s or other cultural centers' future. But your voice can. Alumni feedback is open until October 31, 2025."
Take the survey. Let’s ensure Purdue builds a future that includes all of us.
