The Purdue J-1 Exchange Visitor Program is assisting seven international Purdue entrepreneurs obtain their visas and build their startups. This program, a partnership between the Purdue Research Foundation and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD), supports international researchers and/or students based at the Purdue Foundry. Among them are several Krannert graduates, including VeoRide co-founder Candice Xie.

Purdue is launching an I-Corps program across the state in partnership with Elevate Ventures to help early stage startups commercialize their technologies. Learn from Krannert's Matthew Lynall how this National Science Foundation program aims to boost entrepreneurship and economic development.

College graduates might expect busy days and long nights as they start their own businesses or climb the corporate ladder. But a leading researcher on work and life balance at Purdue University said personal and professional habits formed at the entry level could follow workers throughout their careers. “After you graduate, you will be faced with lots of opportunities to work intently in order to advance on your career path,” says Ellen Ernst Kossek, the Basil S. Turner Professor of Management in the Krannert School of Management and research director at the Butler Center of Leadership Excellence.
