This move acknowledged Remembering Purdue the growing interest in the humanities and social sciences and their place as legitimate fields of study within the University. Alumni reflect on their favorite Purdue memories The lifestyle and environment of a student in 1953 was drastically different from that of a current student. Student essentials in 2006 may include a cell phone, laptop, and iPod, whereas a student in 1953 probably considered pencil and paper adequate supplies. Taking a look back, in 1953 … • Chart toppers include Perry Como, Dean Martin, and Teresa Brewer.

Barker The late renowned author Professor Stephen Covey is attributed as the Associate Dean for Research originator of the saying, “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main Tonglei Li thing.” Any leader of an organization needs to make sure they understand Associate Dean for Graduate Programs what is the “main thing” and keep their focus on this priority. While obviously Holly L. Mason open to debate, I would argue that the “main thing” for any organization is its Senior Associate Dean people. It is our people who define, embody, and accomplish our mission. Brian M. Shepler No organization will surpass the quality of its people. It is our students, faculty, Assistant Dean for Experiential Education staff, and alumni who make your College of Pharmacy a program of excellence. They are what makes us who we are and are the engine that drives our mission. DEPARTMENT HEADS It should be no surprise, therefore, that as you read these pages of The Purdue Elizabeth M.

Among those are alumni we have recently recognized for their outstanding accomplishments Zhong-Yin Zhang Head, Medicinal Chemistry as pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. Their individual and collective and Molecular Pharmacology achievements serve as a great source of encouragement to our students and Alan J.

  • Women's Hours Versus Campus Conservatism: Feminism's
    Women’s Hours Versus Campus Conservatism: Feminism’s Limits at Purdue by 1970 Taylor Cash HIST 395: Purdue Changemakers Prof. Nancy Gabin December 10, 2020 Cash 2 Historians recall the 1960s in America as a decade of social progress and nationwide political activism, especially among college students. Students gathered on campuses across the nation to protest civil rights, the war in Vietnam, and free speech––but one topic remained notably absent from the scene. Women’s issues largely took a backseat during the Civil Rights Era, and the overturn of women’s hours at Purdue in 1966 was no exception. Despite their success which overturned curfews for the majority of female students, women at Purdue failed to gain widespread support from their male counterparts or to organize an empowered movement. Largely contained within the Association for Women Students (AWS), a Purdue student government group, the overturn of women’s hours embodies the limits of college feminism by 1970. As early as women began to attend university, in loco parentis (in place of the parent) rules were commonplace and set the example for how women were expected to behave out of the classroom.

Identified as early as 1862 as Vassar college, universities faced a new phenomenon in which unmarried women were leaving their parents’ homes and were thrust into a world of sudden, unmatched freedom which was unheard of for single women.1 Parents feared that, without their guidance, their daughters might stray from the morals which they were taught.
