Mastodon Alumni Community

See you THIS Saturday!

Go Dons!

Just over a month ago, the Mastodon Community came together in an extraordinary way for PFW's Day of Giving, The Big Give - and we are still feeling the impact of your generosity!
~ THANK YOU ~
Your gift is helping provide scholarships, enhance academic programs, strengthen athletes, support the arts, and create opportunities that empower our students to succeed.

We'd love for you all to stay connected with YOUR campus! And we'd love to hear from you. If there are ways you'd like to engage with your department, current students, professional development opportunities, etc - please reach out! [email protected].

Chancellor Elsenbaumer is ready to tackle Day of Giving.

“I was set up for success the moment I graduated.”

Kathryn Warble, B.S. ’17, M.S.Ed. ’20, credits her time at Purdue Fort Wayne with setting a solid foundation for her future career.

“I truly wouldn't be where I am without both the Human Services program AND the CMHC track,” she said. “I loved every moment of both programs and feel they gave me the skills and connections to get where I am today. The knowledge I gained provided me the opportunity to pass my licensure exams and succeed as a business owner; the compassion and empathy modeled by my professors helped shape into the therapist I am today.”
