Purdue University®:
From Hometown to Boilermaker Educator

Boiler Gold Rush Welcome Activity

Helping New Boilermaker Educators Feel at Home

Designed for the College of Education's annual Boiler Gold Rush Ice Cream Social & Fountain Dip with the Dean, this interactive tabloid welcome poster invited incoming students to place a sticker on a map representing their hometown: from Indiana, across the United States, or around the world. The activity encouraged conversation, celebrated the diverse journeys that brought students to Purdue®, and fostered a sense of belonging as they began their Boilermaker™ experience.

Technical Information: This poster was designed by Addison Ott (Visual Designer) at Purdue University® within the College of Education in West Lafayette, Indiana, during Fall 2025.
