When #PurdueAg thinks of leaders who have made a lasting impact on @LifeAtPurdue, @JayAkridge stands tall. Akridge built a distinguished career at Purdue, first as an award-winning @PurdueAgEcon faculty member, then as director of @PurdueAgBiz, interim vice provost of engagement, dean, and provost and executive vice president for academic affairs and diversity. His career reflects his commitment and diverse strengths. But for Akridge, success isn’t measured by personal accomplishments. It comes from working with Purdue’s many supporters and, most of all, fellow Boilermakers. ag.purdue.edu/news/2026/10/i…

“I see the marketing games being played by these big corporations, that sometimes consumers are misled & are paying higher prices for things they think is worth it, but maybe that’s not always the case,” Van Loo told USA TODAY. 🔗 usatoday.com/story/grocery/2… #PurdueAg #FoodMarketing
