"Where can I begin to describe the Work From Purdue program. The experience has been wonderful and Deanna has gone beyond her way to make your experience the best it can be. As an avid nature lover, it is nice to be able to traverse walking trails with my dogs, and there is no shortage of those. The energy is in the air as the campus is lively, yet at the same time you can carry on in your own little world if you choose to. What has been the best experience for us so far is the dedication Deanna has and motivation to make you feel welcomed! Go Boilers!!! Chooo Chooo!"

"The pandemic prompted my employer to go fully remote in mid 2020. While I appreciated the flexibility and time savings that came with working remotely, I was missing physically being part of a vibrant and dynamic community. Since I moved to West Lafayette as part of the Work From Purdue program, I’ve been meeting other amazing WFP candidates (many of whom have become my new friends) at its programmatic events, living amidst Purdue University’s dynamic intellectual environment, and getting increasingly involved in the West Lafayette community. And, I‘m loving it!"

“I’m able to spend a lot more time on my business because I was commuting over an hour in Boston. Here, I can walk to my office. It’s really nice. If I forget something in my office on the weekend, I can just go grab it. That was never a thing I could do before.”

"I love living in downtown Lafayette. There are so many great restaurants, bakeries and boutiques within walking distance of my apartment. Working remotely for Purdue University, it’s so nice to have a few different coffee shops to choose from when I need a change of scenery. Summertime is particularly fun with the different festivals that take place downtown, plus the Farmer’s Market when that’s in season. It’s such a great place to be!"

Ashlee Shroyer

Social Media Manager, Purdue University

“People are more neighborly. It’s just a little different because there’s more space here, there’s more time, so that’s a nice benefit. The housing market was pretty good here. I can actually afford a house and I don’t even need a faculty salary to do that.”

Monique McClain
