Purdue Day of Giving is an annual university-wide effort to build a better, stronger, more affordable Purdue. For 24 hours, students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents and friends come together to grant opportunities and transform lives.

Purdue University students Josh Auger, Ian Hamilton and Kyle Harris, along with Purdue alumnus Kyle Pendergast, created Atlas Energy Systems to develop and commercialize a device that could potentially turn nuclear waste into electricity.
