WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Three of Purdue's finest student-athletes will join a pair of Academic All-American Hall of Famers in appearances at schools in the Lafayette area next Monday as part of Life's Playbook series, designed to help students prepare for their futures.
Katie Douglas, Carson Cunningham and Drew Brees, all of whom earned Academic All-America status at Purdue last year as juniors, will assist Ann Donovan and Oliver Luck, both recent inductees into the Academic All-American Hall of Fame, in putting on assemblies at West Lafayette Junior/Senior High School and Harrison High School.
