From our first meeting in 1984 to now, 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the Purdue Foundation Student Board! We are deeply excited to celebrate with all of you- members, alumni, supporters, and Boilermakers at large, the dedication and impact of our organization over the past four decades. Beginning today with the launch of our special anniversary logo, we hope to commemorate all that this organization has been (and all that it will continue to be by sharing special stories, pictures, and alumni highlights throughout 2024.
If you are an alum of PFSB and would like to help us share the legacy of the past 40 years, we would love to hear from you! Send us stories of your experiences, the lasting effects PFSB has had on your life, tales of traditions past, and pictures from your time in our organization. We would love to spotlight all those who have made PFSB the organization we know and love today.
Cheers to 40 years, and the year of celebration ahead in 2024!
