During busy times of the year, a strategic pick-me-up can go a long way. Walk Alongside a Boilermaker offers Purdue Alumni tangible ways to support and encourage students. This initiative delivers programs and resources designed to support well-being, provides training for student leaders and professional staff, and features a signature program: Walk Alongside a Boilermaker Wellness Bags.
By providing a free resource bag that includes information about healthy sleep habits, supplies to practice grounding techniques to manage stress and an encouraging note from Purdue alumni, University Residences strives to help student prioritize their well-being.
University Residences is seeking notes of encouragement from alumni to include in these resource bags. Hearing from alumni who have already walked the Boilermaker path can have a tremendous impact on our current students. Notes should not be specific to a particular student or situation. Rather, they should be general words of encouragement, advice or well wishes that could apply to any Purdue student who receives a Walk Alongside a Boilermaker resource bag.
To submit a note of encouragement to be included in the resource bag, please follow the link below:
Students across all academic disciplines living on campus are eligible for Walk Alongside a Boilermaker. If you have a student you believe would benefit from receiving a resource bag, please email campusliving@purdue.edu.
A $50 gift brings comfort, care and a smile to five Boilermakers—reminding them no one walks alone.
