The Exponent has run several articles on the upcoming elections, including an informative piece on the candidates that lists each platform’s pros and cons. Feel like you’re not well acquainted with what the candidates really stand for? Read what The Exponent’s Editorial Board has to say!
 
PSG has become a major part of Purdue’s decision-making process over the past few years, and President Brad Krites noted its phenomenal evolution in his exit interview. Its involvement has grown from “programming focus to policy-making focus.”
