We are deeply excited to celebrate with all of you- members, alumni, supporters, and Boilermakers at large, the dedication and impact of our organization over the past four decades. Beginning today with the launch of our special anniversary logo, we hope to commemorate all that this organization has been (and all that it will continue to be by sharing special stories, pictures, and alumni highlights throughout 2024.
If you are an alum of PFSB and would like to help us share the legacy of the past 40 years, we would love to hear from you!

Created by students for students, the “Why Give?” initiative features weekly events highlighting the value and significance of private giving at Purdue. This month we hosted several interactive activities and other learning opportunities from giving free coffee to better understand the importance of small giving to trivia featuring Purdue Day of Giving during the "Next giant leap".

Michael Fouch is a Boilermaker, twice over. In 2016, he earned an undergraduate degree in Management Information Systems, and in 2018 received a master’s degree in Human Resource Management in 2018. Both degrees were from Krannert, now known as the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business.
Today, Michael works as a Senior Consultant for Deloitte. Deloitte is a leading global provider of audit and assurance, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory, tax and related services. As a sophomore at Purdue, he was fascinated with the idea of starting a new business, which is what led him to the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. He credits the program for shaping his career in a very positive way by challenging him to be creative and innovative, and giving him the opportunity to explore what the ‘maker’ in Boilermaker truly stands for.
