Close Connections
“Purdue Fort Wayne really embodies the small-school-with-a-big-school feel. I think the close connections with professors and individual attention are beneficial. Additionally, I have made a lot of good connections and cultivated relationships with my peers and faculty members that I wouldn’t have had the chance to do if it weren’t for being a part of the Honors Program.”
Malaika Ahmed, B.S. ’22
Thought-Provoking Conversations
“Getting to work with like-minded and motivated classmates has got to be one of the best experiences by far because I get to have interesting, thought-provoking conversations, both within and outside of the classroom.”
Mitzy Montoya, Mechanical Engineering Technology
Staying on Track
“I think one thing that stands out the most to me is how much this university wants me to succeed in my college career. I have had certain advisors reach out to me in order to help me plan out classes, and to make sure I am staying on track with my goals I’ve set for myself.”
Stephanie Patrick, B.A. ’23
Subjects You Care About
“I chose to major in psychology because I enjoy the thought processes of trying to understand people and how they become who they are.”
Elijah Paulk, B.S. ’23
Connect with Clubs
“I love to learn about human culture and the history of human evolution, and about visual anthropology and the process of documenting cultures throughout time. With the Anthropology Club, I have connected with experts in anthropology around the world to ask them to teach PFW students about their research and anthropological experiences in our weekly meetings.”
BellaRose Ferrin, B.A. ’24
Get Involved
“It’s great to get involved on campus and meet with people who you might not even know you go to school with!”
“I chose Purdue Fort Wayne because of its smaller campus and its excellent student-to-professor ratio. Additionally, my anthropology internship with RESCOM Environmental Corp has given me more experience and skills in the field of archaeology.”
