Earhart Hall

Earhart's legacy, you may know an awful lot about it, but I just wanted to go ahead and provide some of what she did.

Named after her is Earhart's legacy is Purdue University Earhart Hall, Amelia Earhart Environmental in Wichita, Kansas.

Both of these women, by the way, grew up in early days in the in the Midwest.

They were Chicago girls.

Her legacy lives on and is a very important part of Purdue history, and the university is visibly proud of it.

A bronze statue of Earhart stands outside Earhart Hall, and the university recently opened a new airport terminal in her name at the Purdue Airport.

Notable reminders of her importance at Purdue are an Amelia Earhart scholarship, a faculty and residence program, and an annual Amelia Earhart summit.

Before her world flight, she and Purdue had an understanding that she would return the plane to Purdue.

We have the Amelia Earhart Terminal, and that's at the Purdue University Airport.

Uh, we have Earhart Hall, which ironically I moved my daughter into, and it was a lot of fun just to walk through Earhart Hall and see all, all the memorabilia, her photos, really talking about her story of persistence, of innovation, her spirit for adventure, which are very much, you know, resonate with the essence of a Boilermaker.

And her statue stands outside Earhart Hall, which is definitely a symbol.

Probably the most notable thing that's still at Purdue today, though, in her spirit, is the Ninety-Nines, which Amelia founded.

That chapter is still at Purdue University today.
