National Defense Career Fair
The Purdue National Security & Defense Society aims to host an annual National Defense Career Fair every Fall at Purdue. In 2025, we had 40+ registered defense employers despite the government shutdown and tracked the participation of over 500 students. Some of the employers included Lockheed Martin, RTX, L3Harris, Draper, CACI, Sandia National Laboratories, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Marines.
Our Mission
The Purdue Security & National Defense Society empowers students to explore and engage with national security and defense through education, leadership, and collaboration. We foster a multidisciplinary community dedicated to public service, innovation, and ethical responsibility in support of U.S. and global security.
Our Vision
To be the premier defense-focused collegiate student organization in the nation. To develop future leaders in national defense by promoting academic excellence, practical experience, and strategic partnerships—shaping a safer, smarter, and more secure nation.
