SCENE
WALK
Third Street Corridor
A $1 million renovation transformed Third Street into a safer, pedestrian-friendly
corridor between student residences and the north academic areas of campus. The
updated street, closed to traffic from University Street to Martin Jischke Drive,
features new bicycle paths and walkways, which are adorned with colorful surface
designs of the Motion P, Boilermaker Special, the Bell Tower, the World’s Largest
Drum, the Gateway to the Future arch, and other iconic university symbols.

More retail dining options opened on campus this
fall, including Saladworks at the Wing Chan Café
in the Chaney-Hale Hall of Science. Located adjacent to Elliott Hall of Music, the new four-story
building will support first- and second-year undergraduates in chemistry and biology. The café,
located on the first floor of the building, is named
for Wing Hing Chan (MS S’72).

REFLECT
Class of 1950 Tree
A new plaque installed in August near the Class
of 1950 Tree reads: “This tree commemorates and
recognizes the long and proud history of the Multicultural Greek Council, the National Panhellenic
Council, and the members they represent at Purdue University. The painting of the Class of 1950
Tree, also known as the ‘Diversity Tree,’ is hailed
as a Boilermaker tradition, and the surrounding
seats provide a gathering place especially meant
for reflection on the tree’s significance.”
Wellness Kit
Protect Purdue wellness kits were distributed to students as they returned to campus. The kit included
antibacterial gel and wipes, acetaminophen, a thermometer, a face shield, a pair of Purdue face masks,
and a copy of the Protect Purdue pledge.
