History

Established in 1902.

Purdue University has a rich history of bringing concerts, lectures and performances to campus. In 1902 the «Lecture and Concert Course» was first offered, creating the earliest evidence of what is now Purdue Convocations. Over the years and decades the names and formats have changed, but one thing has remained constant: the desire to expand the Purdue experience beyond the classroom.
