Purdue Larsen Leaders Academy

Last month, we had the pleasure of hosting the inaugural Daniels Send-Off Event. Three remarkable Larsen seniors shared their insights with students, alumni, and faculty. They not only delivered inspiring speeches but also graciously fielded questions from students, ensuring an interactive and enriching experience for all. We extend our gratitude to the exceptional student keynote speakers and to everyone who joined us for this memorable event. #PurdueBusiness #LarsenLeadersAcademy #BoilerinBusiness

As Larsen Leaders, we value providing opportunities to develop students into well-rounded leaders. This semester, we had the privilege of hosting Todd Williams, CFO of the West Central Region of IU Health, who shared insights about the Intersection of Business and Healthcare. Students actively participated in his presentation and continued to engage afterward, encouraging deep understanding and stimulating thought. #LarsenLeadersAcademy #BoilersinBusiness #PurdueBusiness

Take a look back at our Back9 community event!⛳️🏌️ Last week, a group of Larsen Leaders visited Back9 Indianapolis to create connections in a lively atmosphere with both peers and alumni! A huge shoutout to our exceptional Signature Events Team for planning this hole-in-one experience! #boilersinbusiness #purduebusiness #larsenleadersacademy

Over the course of 8 days, my team and I worked on the Powershift Case Competition in which we were tasked to create and support recommendations to diversify gender in the semiconductor industry. On Friday, we presented in the preliminary and final rounds and ultimately placed first out of 38 teams! My amazing team of Emma Ahern, Diego Legoas, and Ethan Murphy made the experience and win so much more rewarding. As an all freshman team with little experience, I can’t stress enough how proud I am to have all come together as a team and put in over 60 hours of work during the span of a little over a week. We’ve decided this won’t be the end for Integrated Solutions! Always grateful for opportunities like this that Purdue University and Purdue University Daniels School of Business offers. Special thank you to Brock-Wilson Center for Women in Business, Business Career Services || Purdue University Daniels School of Business, and Cara Putman, JD, MBA for hosting the event as well as all the judges for their time and dedication! #casecompetition #purduebusiness

The dynamic duo that consistently inspires: Marshall and Susan Larsen. Marshall and Susan are the founders of the Larsen Leaders Academy and generously endowed the program. They motivate students through their compelling stories and wealth of knowledge. The initiative stemmed from former CEO of Goodrich Marshall Larsen’s vision of bringing a premier leadership program to The Business School at Purdue University. Over time, students have engaged in transformative experiential leadership experiences, enriched academic opportunities, and networking events, shaping them into future business leaders. We express our gratitude to the Larsen family for their ongoing positive impact on students and their generous donations. #BoilersInBusiness #PurdueBusiness #LarsenLeadersAcademy
