Purdue ranked among "best value" colleges for 2009
Purdue University is ranked in the Princeton Review's list of 100 "best value" colleges for 2009, released Thursday (Jan. 8).
The education services and test-prep company says the rankings, which appeared in USA Today, are an attempt to highlight "schools that provide high-quality academics at a reasonable price — either by keeping sticker prices in line, or by offsetting high costs with great financial packages."

PURE goes statewide as INDURE!
The Purdue University Research Expertise database (PURE) is now the Indiana Database for University Research Expertise (INDURE)! With this tool, you can search for research expertise, intellectual property, anad ongoing sponsored research projects at academic institutions across the state of Indiana. By entering relevant keywords, or alternatively using a simple navigation mechanism you can find Indiana faculty by specifying fields of study. For example, if you're looking for researchers in bioinformatics, you will find more than seventy Indiana faculty members with expertise in bioinformatics. Visit the database to identify Purdue researchers by keywords or fields of interest.
