Request for Photos and Stories

Do you have photographs and/or stories you'd like to share? Maybe you have a photograph of a favorite faculty member, staff member, or student(s). Maybe you have a story too good not to share. We'd love to reminisce about the past and share your memories on this 40th website. Submit your photos and stories to 40th@stat.purdue.edu. Photos in the photo gallery are a small sampling of photos that were found in the departmental photo albums. We'd love to add your photo to the collection.

Corrections and Omissions

Facts to the departmental history are continually being added. If you see a correction or an omission, we would appreciate it if you could send it to webmaster@stat.purdue.edu so we can update it. We'd like to have as complete of a history as possible. Thanks!
