Enrollment, experiences, and employment opportunities inspire Purdue Global College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Dean
Since first agreeing to teach a night class while completing her master's degree in 1994, Sara Sander has been patient about working with adult learners.
“I remember thinking, ‘I’ll do it. I’ll try it.’ The class was filled with adult learners, and I loved it,” Sander says. “They had focus and determination, and it really meshed well with my teaching. Every chance I got, I taught those night classes. I knew then that working with adult learners is where I wanted to be.”
Sara served as the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 2003-13 and is currently the Dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

Dr. Rivera receives a "Heartfelt Thank You" for serving as a panelist on the "Mental Health in the Workplace" panel
Dr. Bridget Rivera, Academic Department Chair for Psychology, represented Purdue Global and the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences as a panelist for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regarding Modern Workplace Mental Health Issues.

Purdue Global first-generation students create educational definitions dictionary to help navigate school
Words like “accommodation,” “accredited,” “microcredentials” and “provost” can prove to be challenging terms for first-generation adult learners. On top of the many other hurdles students face, understanding the words and terms that professors use can be an adjustment.
That is why Maggie Morgan, academic department chair for Purdue Global’s Department of Human Services, led a group of first-generation students in the development of Speaking “University,” an online educational definitions dictionary, which helps students as they begin their educational journey or continue their comeback to finish their degree.
Public Safety hosts "Women in the Justice System" roundtable event
