I extend to each of you a warm welcome! Student Affairs at Purdue University Calumet is composed of many departments responsible for a variety of programs and services intended to support students’ growth and development. Historically a commuter campus, Purdue Calumet now offers modern apartment-style housing just adjacent to the popular Fitness & Recreation Center.Comprised of individuals who care deeply about students, staff in Student Affairs are willing and eager to offer advice, guidance and encouragement to students and their families. We provide opportunities for students to explore personal, educational and career goals. Active participation in the many educational, cultural, recreational and social programs available on campus serves to enhance students’ experiences.

The Office of Student Affairs offers the following to enrich student life on campus: career services; fitness, wellness and sports; judicial affairs; leadership development; orientation; residence life; student activities; student employment; and the TRIO Programs including Educational Talent Search, Upward Bound, Student Support Services and the McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program.
