Programs

Students with Families program is free, sponsored by a grant from the Indiana-Purdue Student Government Association, and open to all students and their immediate families. Our goal is to help students who have children become more involved in the life of the campus, and enjoy campus events with their children. Our regular Students with Families events begin with a kid-appealing dinner followed by special programs for young children and programs for parents that are geared to the needs and interests of non-traditional students.

Sexual Assault Prevention Program Provides education and advocacy programs to prevent sexual assault.

Flying Start is a peer support center for Non-Traditional students at Purdue University in Fort Wayne. These information tables serve as one on one communication to students who are interested in or are in need of on or off campus resources that will allow them to have support and adequate resources in taking steps towards graduation.
