Biographical Information

Betty M. Suddarth worked at Purdue University from 1951-1996, first in admissions research at Purdue University and later as Purdue's first female registrar, a position she held from 1980 until 1994. Her research focused on student services, curriculum, recruitment, and enrollment.
