Brittany Barr of Hartselle took the first step in becoming Boilermakers by participating in the annual Summer Transition, Advising and Registration (STAR) program at Purdue University’s West Lafayette campus.

STAR is Purdue’s program for new undergraduate students to receive academic advice and create their initial course schedule. Incoming students select their one-day STAR session and come to Purdue’s West Lafayette campus to conduct this and other important business.

Purdue University is a vast laboratory for discovery. The university is known not only for science, technology, engineering and math programs, but also for our imagination, ingenuity and innovation.
