Doug Evans (BS ME ’66) continues to stay connected to Purdue University following a long career in the automotive industry, during which he applied lessons learned from his days in University Residences.
Evans grew up on a small farm near Medaryville, Indiana, about 50 miles directly north of the West Lafayette campus. His ties to Purdue began at a young age. His father raised poultry for eggs and would host student field trips from the Purdue Veterinary School. Evans’ grandmother also served as a house mother on campus and his grandfather did plastering and other decorative work in the Purdue Memorial Union and other campus buildings.
