Welcome

WELCOME to the Purdue Non-Traditional Student Blog.
Currently this is being hosted by the Purdue Adult Student Network (PAS)!

One of the requests frequently requested by adult nontraditionalstudent is having the opportunity to meet, network, and socialize withother adult nontraditional students.Since students have not been able to take time to come to the AdultStudent Support Group, the Span Plan Adult Student Services staff hasjoined forces with the officers of the Purdue Adult Student Network toset up virtual networking.

We have this blog http://purduenontraditionalstudents.blogspot.com/ and an EmailPurdueAdultStudent@gmail.com for adult student networking.

This is an opportunity to ask questions and share wisdom when it isconvenient for you.During the fall semester, we anticipate hosting events on campus thatwill facilitate adult nontraditional student interaction.

Announcementswill be made via email, PurduE-board, this blog and the Span Plan website:http://www.purdue.edu/ODOS/spanplan/Welcome.html
