EDGE 2016 was held at Purdue University from June 6 through July 2, 2016. This meeting brought together some 20 participants from the EDGE program along with alumni from the Midwest EDGE Cluster at Purdue, graduate students from the Purdue Chapter of AWM, and undergraduate students from the local REU titled PRiME (Purdue Research in Mathematics Experience). In this article, we discuss the impact of EDGE 2016 on Purdue University, as told by the Midwest EDGE Cluster and AWM advisor Donatella Danielli; Mini-Course leader Rachel Davis; Difficult Dialogue leader Zenephia Evans; and local organizers Alejandra Alvarado and Edray Goins.
