1.

2. Lafayette police are conducting an investigation into an armed robbery that occurred around 3:45 a.m. on Monday at Circle K located at Yeager Road and Sagamore Parkway. The suspect wore a mask, used a firearm, and proceeded to steal money from the cash register before fleeing the scene. West Lafayette and Purdue police are actively searching for the suspect, and urge anyone with information to contact them at (765) 775-5200. (wlfi.com)
3. Purdue University's Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) undergraduate program has been ranked as the No. 1 program in the 2024 U.S. News & World Report undergraduate program rankings, maintaining its position in the top two for 13 consecutive years. This achievement is attributed to the program's dedication to impactful research and preparing students for global contributions. ABE's faculty and staff, led by department head Nate Mosier, have played a significant role in this success, providing students with exceptional mentorship, research opportunities, and a variety of positive experiences during their academic journey.
