VALPARAISO | Purdue North Central recently hosted a Porter County business after hours June 19. The event showcased the Purdue North central Porter County facility at 600 Vale Park Roads. Guests toured the undergraduate building, home to a complete schedule of PNC undergraduate classes and the graduate building home of the PNC MBA program.
The Snyders and the Huttons, both of Valparaiso and business associates in the real estate development company Parke & Associates LLC, donated the property and buildings that comprise PNC n Porter County in Valparaiso. This gift of four acres of land and two, 10,000-square foot buildings is valued at $4 million. It is the largest gift ever made to PNC. The facilities have a total of 17,500 square feet. That includes 11 classrooms, a computer lab, student study/break-out rooms, student lounges, and conference rooms. Teleconferences can also be scheduled in a tiered room. Enrollment services available onsite include: admissions, registration, academic advising, and financial aid assistance.
Harley Snyder has a long record of community service in Northwest Indiana. PNC honored him with an honorary Doctor of Management degree in 2004. Jim Hutton has served for many years as a certified public accountant.
PNC Vice Chancellor for Administration William Back was instrumental in building the relationships that led to this contribution.
“Purdue North Central is most grateful for the generosity of Harley and Jan Snyder and Jim and Beverly Hutton,” said PNC Chancellor Dr. James B. Dworkin. “We are indeed fortunate to own the PNC - Porter County facilities. We have offered classes at this Valparaiso site since 2000 and our enrollment increases each semester. Students appreciate the opportunity to take their Purdue North Central classes close to their home and work. This site has significant strategic value for the future growth of PNC.”
