Alumni Board

Alumni & Donors | College of Health and Human Sciences

The HHS Alumni Board is a dedicated group of alumni who champion the college’s mission, strengthen connections across the Purdue community and help shape the future of health and human sciences.

Board members represent all HHS departments and schools and bring diverse professional experience, leadership and enthusiasm to the table. Together, they foster alumni engagement, support student success, provide strategic insight and promote the college’s impact at Purdue and beyond. Elected members serve two three-year terms beginning fall of the year they are selected. Members return to campus twice a year for board meetings and events, working closely with college leadership, students and fellow alumni to ensure HHS remains strong, connected and forward-thinking.

Serving on the board is a meaningful way to stay engaged with the college, expand your professional relationships and make a lasting impact on the HHS community.
