Boilermakers,

Season’s greetings! It has been a very busy semester but we have had some
great successes. Make sure to check out the tournament recaps to read
about career high performances from your Boilermakers. On another note, it
was nice to see many of you at our annual Alumni Day during Purdue
Homecoming weekend. If you missed the event and are a current JPC/
Varsity P member, we would like to send you a Purdue Men’s Tennis Alumni
polo shirt. To receive one, simply send me your size. If you are not a current
member, this is a great time to join. Just click on the JPC logo on this page
