Giving
Programs and Centers
Community partnership opportunities-locally, regionally, nationally, or internationally-are part of the College's fundamental values. From experiental learning to research centers, on-line learning opportunities, community services, and extension programs, the University reaches out to build mutually rewarding relationships with real-life benefits.
The Center on Aging and Life Course (CALC) promotes aging-related interdisciplinary research and education at Purdue University that enhances quality of life. Spanning the entire life cycle, but with added emphasis on geriatrics, CALC is a university-wide center that draws upon the expertise of over 50 faculty members to lead scientific inquiries of why we age and how we can maintain or enhance physical and mental functioning over the life course. The Center supports interventions and translational research to optimize the aging experience and enhance the quality of life in adulthood.
A generous grant from the Templeton Foundation has allowed Sociology Professor Fenggang Yang to establish the Center on Religion and Chinese Society, including mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other Chinese communities. With the sweeping and rapid changes in China, such as industrialization, urbanization and overall democratization, there is a religious dimension that affects all areas of growth. Religious changes in China could have profound impacts on Chinese culture, economy, politics and international relations.
The College of Liberal Arts has established a PLACE for faculty, students and the wider public to focus our energy on issues of importance and concern to us all. PLACE (Purdue Liberal Arts Community Engagment) provides programming to a broad-based audience on timely societal and global issues. Engagement programs include work with K-12 educators, efforts to generate economic growth, public lectures and performances, service-learning projects, and other projects in diverse communities to foster cultural and historical understanding, and improve the quality of life in our community, state, nation, and world.
