Apply to Join the Larsen Leaders Academy

Incoming Students

All business school students admitted to Purdue University on January 30 will be emailed a link to apply to join the Larsen Leaders Academy. School faculty and staff will take a holistic approach when reviewing applications. Your essay responses, grades, leadership experience, club involvement and extracurricular activities will be evaluated. Applications will be accepted until April 15 and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Space is limited, so students should apply early.

Those students selected during the application process will be invited to join the academy's Proving Ground. During this first year, your engagement in the academy will be assessed. Students who show motivation and the ability to shape a positive culture at Purdue will be invited to a spring awards dinner, where they will be welcomed as official members of the Larsen Leaders Academy. We invite Marshall Larsen, retired CEO of Goodrich, his wife, Susan, and other Purdue alumni to celebrate your accomplishments.
