Paul Chestovich

Prior to the beginning of October, Paul Chestovich (ChE’02, A’02) thought the most memorable case he’d seen was a man with a two-by-four piece of wood impaled in his chest. But after October 1, that all changed. Late that night, he and his level I trauma staff at the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada […]

Boiler Made

From the honey-inspired to the technically inclined, these Purdue alumni are building businesses in their own likenesses. Given a couple of the strong suits of their alma mater, it’s not surprising that of all the former Boilermakers flexing innovative muscles in the marketplace, many earned degrees in science or engineering. Indeed, five of the six […]
