TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology football team will make its second trip abroad with a trip to Italy from May 26-June 4, 2008.

The Engineers will spend nine days touring various cities in Italy, with one game tentatively scheduled for May 30.  Rose-Hulman will play in either Venice or Florence against a team to be determined.

Rose-Hulman football alumni, players, parents and friends of the program are encouraged to join the trip to Italy.  Please contact the football office for more details.
