The State of Indiana, nicknamed the Hoosier state, was admitted to the United States in 1816. Indiana has more than 70 state agencies, approximately 38,000 employees and in excess of 800 worksites around Indiana. Indiana s lakes and rivers provide game fish for anglers, and its fields and woodlands attract animal watchers and hunters. There are a number of state memorials that commemorate famous Hoosiers or events associated with the state s history. The two largest public universities are Purdue University at West Lafayette and Indiana University at Bloomington. Purdue leads the nation in undergraduate engineering enrollment and Indiana University graduates more medical doctors than any other school. The University of Notre Dame at South Bend is one of the most prestigious Catholic universities in the world.
