Mitch Daniels

While the sudden need for an interim president at Purdue came as a surprise to us all, the friendly encouragement I’ve received from across the community convinces me we can move through this interval without any loss of momentum. Please accept this video as my thanks for all the gracious messages I’ve received, and Boiler Up! youtube.com/watch?is=nMcuV…

We all are going to miss Mike Bobinski, but no one more than I. Purdue made no wiser hire during my years there, and there was no one I enjoyed working with more. Mike insisted on a culture of winning and excellence, while maintaining the highest standards of efficiency and character. Every Boilermaker can be proud of the performance as well as the values of the program he has led.

Told the Daniels girls to always keep a spare tire in the trunk. Seems the trustees got the same lesson. Will try to keep Purdue on its current roll, thanks to the board for the opportunity. purdue.edu/newsroom/2026/…

For over six decades @SenAlexander has seen the public arena from almost every angle—as governor, US Senator, White House staffer, Education Secretary, university president and presidential candidate. His new memoir, The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump is full of purpose, humor, and insights about the ten presidents he worked with. simonandschuster.com/books/The-Educ…

Congratulations to this great Boilermaker team on a win yesterday we will always remember, and for proving that you can still be competitive in the traditional way; real students loyal to the schools they play for. Watch this clip to see why Matt Painter is a unique treasure on today’s college sports scene: youtu.be/DlBksDlDN18?t=…

David Keene's passing deprives the nation of one its foremost political thinkers, and one of freedom's greatest friends and advocates. But our loss goes deeper. David was an exemplar of the respectful civility now so rare in our public debates. While staunch and vocal about his philosophy and principles, he maintained countless friendships with people across the political spectrum. We will all miss him as a friend but equally as a counsellor and sounding board. A few months ago, David sat down with me for an extended conversation, in which both his deep historical knowledge and personal decency shone through. Those who wish to learn, or be reminded, of this seminal figure in the nation's last half century can watch. thefutureofliberty.org/episode/david-…

@ACwishtv @WISH_TV @BoilerBall @CoachPainter Terrific. People around the country need to learn that this is not some program that’s never been any good. We have won more big 10 games than any other school, and think how many Big Ten championships we’ve won during the 44 years since the last final four.

This guy deserves a trip to Final Four. I caught up with Matt Painter after today’s big win in Detroit. @WISH_TV @BoilerBall @CoachPainter

@BarstoolPU Very kind of someone. Hope all the dads out there are having the great day they deserve

Congratulations @drewbrees—a Hall of Famer on and off the field. We’re proud you’re a Boilermaker. #ThankYouDrew

Just sent this to our first group of admitted students from Purdue Polytechnic High School. Congrats to these pioneers! #OnlyPurdue #PPHS youtube.com/watch?v=R1tF5r…

Welcome back, Boilermakers. youtube.com/watch?v=CJpMMs…

We may be in reality only one year since the last of these letters, but we are literally in a different world. I hope you'll take some time to read my annual open letter to the people of @lifeatpurdue. purdue.edu/president/mess…

Boilermakers must persist, now more than ever, to build a better world together. #PurdueTogether

Congratulations Brycen Hopkins and same to LA Rams fans.

All honor to Dr. Steve and Jane Beering, who co-led Purdue brilliantly for almost two decades. Ever grateful.
