HELLO, EVERYBODY.
I'M RYAN FREE, AND YOU GOT
TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED HERE AT PURDUE.
TODAY WE'RE GONNA STRIP DOWN, WE'RE GONNA BOILER UP HERE
ON THIS EPISODE OF "BOILER BYTES."
THE NEARLY NAKED MILE IS A CHARITY EVENT SPONSORED
BY PURDUE ALUMNI-STUDENT EXPERIENCE, OR PASE.
AT THIS EVENT, STUDENTS GIVE THE CLOTHES OFF THEIR BACKS,
LITERALLY, AND DONATE THEM TO A LOCAL CHARITY.
I CAUGHT UP WITH SOME OF PASE'S MEMBERS
TO FIND OUT A LITTLE MORE.
WELL, THE EVENT'S ALL ABOUT STUDENTS COMING IN CLOTHES
TO DONATE TO LAFAYETTE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING.
SO THEY COME IN IN THEIR CLOTHES, DONATE THEM TO US,
AND THEN THEY RUN A MILE IN EITHER COSTUMES
OR A RESPECTABLE AMOUNT OF CLOTHING.
NOW, DAVID, TELL ME -- WHAT'S THIS EVENT REALLY ABOUT?
IT'S REALLY ABOUT BRINGING ALL THE STUDENTS TOGETHER.
PASE IS OUR NUMBER-ONE STUDENT ORGANIZATION ON CAMPUS.
WE HAVE OVER 1,000 PEOPLE.
SO WE JUST WANT TO REALLY GET THE STUDENTS
TO INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER.
I MEAN, KIDS HAVE A LOT OF FUN HERE.
THEY COME OVER HERE, DO A MILE, AND THEN THEY GET
TO DONATE SOME CLOTHES TO THE OTHER PEOPLE.
SO, IT'S A REALLY FUN EVENT FOR EVERYBODY.
AFTER STUDENTS DONATE CLOTHES AND RUN A MILE THROUGH CAMPUS,
THEY END UP AT THE PURDUE ALUMNI CENTER
TO EAT PIZZA AND HANG OUT.
ISN'T IT GREAT THAT PURDUE DOES THIS FOR THE COMMUNITY
AND FOR THIS TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM AND EVERYTHING?
YES, I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL THAT PURDUE HOSTS THIS
FOR ALL THE STUDENTS, AND IT REALLY HELPS THE COMMUNITY,
AND WE ALSO GET TO COME OUT AND HAVE FUN
AND HAVE PIZZA AND NICE T-SHIRTS.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN TO GET DRESSED
AND ACTUALLY RUN THE RACE, BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT,
THE BEST PART WAS PROBABLY KNOWING THAT WE HELPED --
LIKE, DONATING CLOTHES AND WORKING FOR A CHARITY OVERALL.
ONCE AGAIN, PURDUE HAS HOSTED ANOTHER GREAT EVENT.
AS YOU CAN SEE, I'VE GOT A LITTLE MORE INVOLVED
THAN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO.
BUT AS FOR RIGHT NOW, I GOT TO RUN.
