At Purdue, we prepare future leaders for the complex challenges required to compete in the 21st century global economy. When technology is the solution, we accelerate the process through entrepreneurship training and startup incubators that bring the campus and the market even closer together.
Every Friday from 8 to 9 a.m. students, faculty, local business owners and experienced entrepreneurs meet casually to network, talk shop and exchange ideas and experiences. If this interests you, please feel very welcome to join us.
The next Friday Morning gathering will be at our location inside the Morton Community Center, Room 108. Coffee and pastries will be provided. The Morton Center is at 222 N. Chauncey Ave. in West Lafayette, next to the West Lafayette Public Library. Parking is free at the parking garage diagonal from the center. Additional parking is located in the lot behind the center.
