"Governor Mitch Daniels is an outstanding choice to serve Purdue University as their next president. Mitch's intellect, energy and visionary leadership will benefit not only Purdue's students and faculty, but also improve the quality of Indiana's workforce and create new economic opportunities for all Hoosiers. Purdue University and our state are fortunate to have someone of his nationally-recognized reputation assuming the helm of one of our flagship academic institutions." -Mike Pence
