Its academic programs lead to certificates and associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degrees. Drawing upon the university’s considerable computer resources, the faculty attempts to provide students with both technical skills and awareness of the social and ethical implications of new technology. University outreach activities include interactions with local school systems, govern¬ ments, human services agencies, businesses, and industries—interactions ranging from special training to professional assistance from faculty/staff/students. Purdue University Calumet is a community committed to people as its most important resource. The institution strives to foster cultural diversity and to provide a supportive environment in which students, staff, and faculty can grow and thrive, through: • an hospitable atmosphere for a student body of diverse career goals and ethnic backgrounds, old and young, of both sexes and all races • a faculty and staff reflecting cultural diversity • academic consideration of cultural differences • public programs featuring diverse speakers, performers, and programs • affirmative action hiring and student recruiting • outreach to public schools with minority students representing the broad range of Calumet Region citizens. Purdue Calumet encourages all who are qualified or qualifiable to attend, by: • placing a primary emphasis on educational activities • offering pre-college course work • offering reasonable in-state tuition rates, with state support covering a substantial portion of the cost of education • offering financial aid • providing strong student support services • scheduling classes to facilitate the teaching/leaming process • offering flexible courses, scheduling, and sites • emphasizing lifelong learning. Purdue Calumet is a partner with the region it serves, both by helping citizens and institutions of the region and by gamering support from them to maintain the university’s strength. From an early presence in northwest Indiana in the 1920s to an extension of Purdue West Lafayette during World War II, Purdue University Calumet has progressed to a compre¬ hensive institution of higher education, enrolling more than 9,000 students and offering more than 80 associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degree programs in 16 academic depart¬ ments. Located on a 180-acre wooded parcel of land in the residential Woodmar district of Hammond, Indiana, the commuter campus includes 12 buildings and features some of the finest small university computing facilities in the country. 1 CONVENIENCE OF CALUMET PURDUE UNIVERSITY CALUMET As one of the regional campuses of the world-renowned Purdue University system, Purdue University Calumet awards its own degrees on the undergraduate level, through a grant of academic autonomy within the Purdue system in 1974. Thus, Purdue Calumet is able to offer programs specifically designed to suit the special needs of the citizens it serves. As part of the Purdue system, Purdue Calumet subscribes to the university-wide principles of serving a culturally diverse citizenry: “Purdue University is committed to the development and nurturing of a racially, socially, and religiously diverse community. The University believes that cultural variety stimulates creativity, promotes exchange of ideas, and enriches life. “Purdue University is committed to maintaining a community which recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every person, fosters tolerance, sensitivity, understanding, and mutual respect among its members, and encourages each individual to strive to reach his or her own potential. The University also accepts the responsibility of serving as a positive example and helping to prepare men and women who will make a lasting contribution to society.” (Purdue University Statement of Principles, 1989) Mission Mission At its regularly scheduled meeting of June 13, 1974, the Board of Trustees of Purdue Statement University granted autonomy to Purdue University Calumet Campus (now Purdue Univer¬ sity Calumet) for its undergraduate programs by approving the Proposal for Academic Autonomy. A part of that document is the mission statement for Purdue University Calumet. It reads as follows: The Calumet campus of Purdue University is dedicated to the land grant tradition of which it is a part and is especially concerned with serving the people of Northwest Indiana. At the present time, its primary mission is threefold: to provide its students with a liberal education which will prepare them for life or for the professions; to provide career-oriented curricula which lead to certificates, associate degrees, baccalaureate degrees and master’s degrees; and to provide programs that meet the professional, cultural and general education needs of this large urban-industrialized community. The Purdue University Calumet campus owes to its existence to the practical and useful contributions it has made to the daily life and needs of the people living in this large industrialized-urban complex. Organization A single Board of Trustees governs the entire Purdue University system through the President of the University. The Chancellor of Purdue University Calumet is the senior administrative officer on campus and reports to the President of the University at West Lafayette. Serving the Chancellor are three vice-chancellors: The Vice-Chancellor for Administrative Services is responsible for the business affairs of the university. The Vice-Chancellor for Student Services oversees the many services that the univer¬ sity provides to assure student success on campus. The Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs administers academic programs. Those programs include the academic schools and the graduate school. The School of The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides educational opportunities and degree Libera! Arts programs which lead to an understanding of the physical and natural sciences, social and Sciences sciences, and the history, literatures, languages, and art of human societies and culture. The school’s offerings provide both a broad liberal education and career preparation. 2 PRIDE OF PURDUE
