With eight primary focus areas aimed at how to protect the health and safety of the Purdue community, the Protect Purdue Plan was driven by science and guidance from national experts, the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), the Protect Purdue Medical Advisory Team and other scientific organizations.

The eight focus areas of the Protect Purdue Plan were to:

1 Expect each Boilermaker to assume personal responsibility to Protect Purdue — myself, others, our Purdue community.

2 Implement personal health safety practices and protocols.

3 Enact health safety changes in physical spaces.

4 Offer a range of instructional options for students and faculty.

5 Identify and protect the most vulnerable members of the Purdue community.

6 Engage our stakeholders with consistent, compelling and timely communication and clear guidance.

7 Advance our research mission in a safe and responsible way.

8 Anticipate and plan for contingencies.

“Change is rarely risk-free, but who better to analyze and calculate those risks than Boilermakers?”
