|
Andrea Untama is a Senior from Westfield, Indiana, majoring in English and Creative Writing. Outside the Purdue Foundation Student Board, she has enjoyed giving back to the Purdue community by her involvement with the John Martinson Honors College, Student English Association, Delta Phi Mu, and Boiler Gold Rush.
As VP of Diversity and Inclusion, she is excited to lead, continue, and expand upon PFSB’s legacy of equitable, inclusive, and diverse educational and professional initiatives in helping all become better versions of themselves by realizing the role they play in diversity and inclusion, and educate members about how diversity and inclusion play a role in philanthropy.
In her free time, Andrea enjoys spending time with friends and family, volunteering, writing and reading poetry, and a good cup of tea. She loves to travel and engage and learn about different cultures, whether for studies or going on holiday. In the future, Andrea hopes to become a published author and use her degree to help her community.

Joyce and Bob Miles

Joyce (HHS’65) and Bob (CE’63) Miles began making a difference in the lives of young people long before their philanthropic efforts began at Purdue. After Joyce graduated from Purdue, she spent 31 years as an educator with Duval County Schools in Jacksonville, Florida. While Bob established a successful career with his own company, he also volunteered in the Jacksonville City Schools, chaired the board of directors for the childcare center at their church, and spent time helping the Duval County 4-H Foundation.
Bob and Joyce understood the transformative power of education and the importance of supporting young minds in their pursuit of knowledge, which led them to establish multiple scholarship endowments at Purdue. They created a scholarship to support students who were members of Twin Pines Cooperative, where Joyce had been a member. They also established a scholarship endowment in the College of Health and Human Sciences
