WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) — Soon-to-be Purdue University graduate Kyle Albertson was diagnosed as a baby with congenital muscular dystrophy. But he hasn't let that slow him down.
Albertson is the most recent recipient of the Tyler Trent Courage and Resilience Award, which recognizes students who have encountered "daunting adversity" in their pursuit of a degree.
Purdue President Mitch Daniels surprised Albertson during a recent video call to announce he had been selected for the award. Albertson says it's an honor.
