The inaugural Purdue Global Moves are inspired and aligned with the Purdue University Next Moves. Three of the moves: Student Success, Professional Skills, and Classroom of the Future tie to the Purdue Move: Transformative Education 2.0. The fourth move is focused on Equity. Purdue Global will ensure that all members of the university community have the opportunity to experience all Purdue Global has to offer equitably, focusing on barriers to the success of students, faculty, and staff. Similar to the Purdue University Moves and the recently announced Purdue Next Moves, the Purdue Global Moves will drive discipline and results and will guide our priorities, strategies, and efforts into the future.
