Success in year one guarantees nothing about year two, he said.
The video was sent to members of the campus community with the following letter from Daniels:
Dear Boilermakers,
It’s springtime in Indiana and this year, the optimism and hope we feel isn’t just about the weather. We’ve already been able to ease up on some of our COVID-related restrictions, and we look forward to many more such decisions. Meanwhile, the facts are changing frequently: the spread of vaccines is a huge plus, while the emergence of new variant strains is a cause for new concern. We will continue to make all close calls on the side of caution and safety.
This coming year, we see two basic ways to live up to the [Protect Purdue] pledge, said Daniels. Far and away the best way, the one we strongly encourage you to take, is to get fully vaccinated and provide proof of it. (Screenshot of Purdue University video)
Purdue University President Mitch Daniels urged the school community Tuesday to receive a COVID-19 vaccine ahead of the upcoming academic year, but stopped short of making the shots a requirement.
“The vaccines can no longer be called experimental,” Daniels said in a video. “They’ve been administered to hundreds of millions of people. They work, wondrously.”

It was back in August 2019 that the “Leaders and Legends” podcast posted our conversation with Purdue University President Mitch Daniels; we are reposting it today because on April 7th (Mitch’s 72nd birthday), we will post a new interview with the governor. Today’s conversation covers his career until the events of September 11, 2001.
