A year of change and expansion at Purdue University Calumet
HAMMOND | A change of leadership, the opening of two academic and outreach facilities, and expansion of its dual credit program highlighted 2011 at Purdue University Calumet.
Change of chancellors
After 10 years, Howard Cohen stepped down as chancellor, handing the torch at mid-year to Thomas Keon.
Cohen's administration featured the initiation of experiential learning-integrating traditional and applied learning in a real world environment-as a requirement for all degree-seeking, undergraduate students.
He also oversaw strategies to attract more high performing students, the addition of campus-based student housing, establishment of applied research-based outreach centers and institutes to advance Northwest Indiana and beyond, and implementation of more than 40 new degree programs and options.
Previously dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of Central Florida for 14 years, Keon spent his first six months as chancellor preparing to shape PUC's future via attention to 1. Academic Excellence, 2. Learning through Engagement and Discovery, 3. Inclusivity, and 4. Community and Business Partnerships.
Innovation and more
Center for Innovation through Visualization and Simulation and the Hospitality and Tourism Management Building, which houses the Purdue University Calumet White Lodging Center for Hospitality and Tourism Management, opened this fall.
The $2.7 million CIVS focuses on innovation, application and education, combining simulation and visualization technologies with high performance computing.
The Hospitality and Tourism Management Building represents a $4.6 million renovation of PUC's Calumet Conference Center. The 13,000-square-foot facility is supported by the largest monetary gift in university history: $5 million from the Dean & Barbara White and Bruce and Beth White Family Foundations.
Dual credit partnership
PUC expanded its dual credit program to enable qualified Lake Central High School juniors and seniors to enroll in specified courses and earn both university and high school credit.
