Who We Are
Purdue CARET is a volunteer group of Indiana residents that believes in the power of research and education from the Purdue University College of Agriculture and the Purdue Extension mission to translate research into practical, effective, local programs for people across our state. Most of all, Purdue CARET is a mighty advocate. We promote Purdue Agriculture’s significance and strength to county officials, state legislators, members of Congress, and other decision-makers.
Purdue CARET is the Purdue University branch of the national CARET organization. The purpose of Purdue CARET is to provide a means for Indiana citizens to have input into program development, budgetary matters, and legislation.
Our Mission
Purdue CARET’s mission is to enhance national support and understanding of land-grant university systems’ food and agricultural research, extension, and teaching programs in order to achieve a better standard of living for all people.
