Honors Alumni Homecoming Panel

This event is modeled after the format President Daniels uses when he hosts guests. Each of our panelists will speak for about five minutes about their experiences at Purdue and how the university has influenced their life path. Some of the topics covered will include:

What experiences at Purdue most prepared you for what you do now?
Were there any professors or mentors at Purdue who were especially influential? How did you connect with them?
What is something you wish you had known/done while in college?
Are there any beliefs you had in college that later changed?
In terms of preparing for your future, how much weight would you place on what you learned in class vs what you learned outside of class?
What experiences have you had at Purdue you thought would be valuable but turned out not to be?
