14 days between you guys and the best 3 weeks of your life to date (we hope!... and that's assuming you're in first session. Those of you in second session will have to wait just a little longer, but it'll be even more awesome when you finally get here!). All the counselors can't wait to meet y'all. If you've got a Facebook account, check out our group here.

The website issues we were having have been fixed, thanks to Mitch and Bill down at our IT department!

For those of you who are itching to know why, we had to get the multi-byte string functions enabled for parts of the site to work correctly.

Hey guys!

If you've been looking around the site a bit, you may have encountered some blank pages after certain links. We've just switched our server configuration around a little bit and we haven't got everything running quite as smoothly as we'd like yet. Fear not, though: we'll have it up and running before Catapult starts!

We had the all-staff dinner today! Monical's Pizza is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself (judging from the amount of pizza not left over, I'd say I'm not the only one who thought so). Afterwards, we braved the rain to take some absolutely awesomely crazy staff photos in front of the lake.

It's official! Our theme for this summer is As Seen on Television.

After the break: check out this YouTube video for all the scenes where someone's "doing it wrong"!

O hai!  I'm Bridget Goergen from the best town and state ever, Alexandria, Minnesota.  We actually have more than the 10,000 lakes our license plates say, we just didn't want to brag too much. ;)  I just graduated from Rose with a degree in Chemical Engineering and this next school year I will be a graduate student here working towards my Masters of Engineering Management. I am a true Minnesotan and absolutley love being outside as much as I can.  I love to backpack, fish, wakeboard and snowboard.  I also love coffee.  Some would say that I like it too much, others would say that I'm obsessed with it... which may be the case.  I also love to bake from scratch (none of those boxed desserts) and usually find myself making something whenever I get bored.  I am also pretty crafty and have a huge craft box with tons of random stuff that I bust out every once in a while.  I'm so pumped to meet all of you this summer.  We're going to have a blast!

Nicholas Predan here coming at you from beautiful, sunny Terre Haute and boy do I have a deal for you.  This summer you get to spend three AMAZING weeks building an awesome engineering project.  But that’s not all; you also get to experience Rose-Hulman, the number one undergraduate engineering school in the nation.  But wait; if you come this summer you also get to spend time with me watching the World Cup (one of my favorite past times), competing in IM’s, and doing other random exciting awesome things.  You don’t want to miss this once in a lifetime offer so GET HERE NOW!

My name is Eric Fiedeldey and I’m from Granger Indiana.  I will be a junior Chemical Engineering major this next school year.  I’ve played soccer since I was 4 years old and played the past two years here at Rose.  When I’m not too busy doing homework I enjoy making things on my lathe or doing other woodworking projects. I have a number of aquariums at home, the largest of which is 90 gallons.  Chemistry has been a major part of my life since I started taking apart fireworks when I was a kid (who doesn’t like blowing things up?)  While I enjoy a solid game of halo, I’m pretty terrible, as with most video games.  Rather than a console controller, it is much more likely that you will find a deck of cards in my hands as I am an avid euchre and poker player.
