Past Events
HHSSC x American Red Cross Blood Drive
HHSSC partnered with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive! With over 40 donors, we were proud to play a role in the life-saving act of blood donation. To find a blood drive near you, visit https://www.redcrossblood.org/give!
HHS Tailgate
In spite of a storm that continued to push the game back, HHS hosted a tailgate that weathered the rain and provided a place for families to have fun and eat some food! At this event, we provided the opportunity for parents and family members to write their students letters that we could deliver for them. Nothing can stop the spirit of the students and families in the College of Health and Human Sciences!
Hammer Down Hunger Food Drive
The Ace Food Pantry supports the Purdue community through its mission of providing food and resources free of charge. This drive helped to bring in food & sanitary items to support Ace in their mission. Anyone with a PUID can contact Ace to set up an appointment to either volunteer or come in to collect items!
Networking Night
In order to help HHS students with their professional development, we hosted our annual Networking Night. Students got the opportunity to chat with dozens of organizations and connect with professionals in their aspiring fields!
Period Project Collaboration
We collaborated with the Purdue Period Project to pack menstrual kits for individuals in need in the greater Lafayette area. We loved being able to work with another student organization to spread awareness and enact change in our community. Interested in learning more about the Period Project?

Smiles in a Bowl
We all know midterms can be stressful so to help spread positivity, our members faced the chilly February weather and hosted a "take-one-leave-one" event where students were encouraged to take a positive note and write one to share with others.
Blanket Making
To celebrate our last meeting of the Fall 2024 semester, we took a break from event planning and worked together to make blankets for hospitalized children. We had a great time bonding with each other while giving back to the community!
Winterization
Every year, Purdue students volunteer to help local households prepare their homes for winter. HHSSC was able to rake leaves, chop wood, clean gutters, and help three local families. We had a great time working together to help our neighbors!
Professor Dinner
As a way of saying "thank you," Council members nominated faculty members that have made an impact on their academic journeys to a dinner at Ripple & Co. in Downtown Lafayette. We loved being able to show our appreciation for the hard work these professors have done, and had a great time chatting with them outside of the classroom!
Donuts for a Difference
HHSSC partnered with Mary Lou's Donuts to raise money for Mental Health America in honor of Suicide Awareness Month. Not only were we able to raise over $100 in less than 3 hours, we were able to share information about mental health resources available to Purdue students.
Welcome Week
We welcomed students back to campus by hosting 3 days of events throughout the first week of classes. These events included free donuts, a motivation station, and HHS trivia!
