HAMMOND & WESTVILLE — Stephen R. Turner will assume responsibilities as the vice chancellor for Finance and Administration for both Purdue University North Central and Purdue University Calumet effective April 1.

The appointment represents the first step in unification efforts intended to combine administrative and academic oversight functions at the two campuses.  The goal of the unification initiative is to enable a stronger Purdue presence in Northwest Indiana by streamlining and combining administrative functions and reinvesting those saved resources in academic programs and faculty.
