Even though IU and Purdue will have separate campuses in Indianapolis, there will be one library, one security system and one area for food services.
Dan Hasler, former Eli Lilly executive and former Secretary of Commerce, is leading Purdue's effort as the chief operating officer.
Hasler believes students who attend Purdue University in Indianapolis are going to be well-positioned for internships and future jobs with companies in Indianapolis. "Our Indiana schools have done a great job drawing amazing talent in Indiana. But we haven't done very well in keeping that talent here," Hasler said."We lose a lot of this talent to companies like Google, Intel, all across the country. The only way we're competing with those companies and keeping them from moving is by having them have relationships with these amazing companies in Indiana.
Hasler said there will be plenty of job opportunities for Purdue graduates in large and small businesses in central Indiana. "The best practices we've seen at other urban campuses are it's hard to tell where the campus ends and where the community begins," Hasler said."We want the community to feel like this is their place and space as well. We want the students to feel like the city is their campus."
