Recognition
Together, our strategies and stories are driving ever-increasing levels of awareness, affinity and loyalty for Purdue.
Fast Company Distinction
For the fourth year in a row, Purdue University has been recognized as one of Fast Company’s Brands That Matter. As one of just four brands globally to achieve this remarkable streak — and the only university to do so — Purdue continues to set the standard for cultural impact and purpose. The list honors organizations that have created a meaningful space in people’s lives through efforts that are a natural extension of their brand’s mission and ideals.
In 2023, Purdue was also recognized as one of the top 20 Most Innovative Companies, according to Fast Company — a recognition that placed us No. 1 in education and No. 16 worldwide.
