Amplifying Inclusive Advancement
The Purdue for Life Foundation’s Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Advancement Summit was designed to allow participants to build community, share best practices, and engage in meaningful conversations surrounding alumni engagement, giving, and industry partnerships. Since 2022, this event has aimed to bridge communication and understanding between the university’s advancement team (development, alumni engagement, and industry partnerships), university diversity program partners, supplier diversity, and external industry partners. The summit comprises keynotes, panels, and workshops that equip participants with strategy, implementation tools, allies, and thought partners. The creation of this event has been transformative in creating a culture and opportunity for inclusive advancement to be amplified.
