About Purdue Convocations
Initiated in 1902, Purdue Convocations is among the oldest collegiate performing arts presenters in the United States.
MISSION
Purdue Convocations catalyzes the curriculum, energizes the community, and distinguishes Purdue through powerful performances, illuminating discourse, and extraordinary learning encounters.
