1. Future Academic
Programs What will be the defining elements of the “best
undergraduate education in science and engineering” in 2015?
What degrees or other learning programs will we offer? How
will we teach, and how will our students learn? Will we
become more “specialized” in particular academic disciplines?
Which ones? How might new technologies, or new relationships
with industry or other partners, reshape key elements of the
academic program?
2. Future
Students
What students will attend Rose-Hulman? How many will attend?
How will we attract them? How will we insure that the
students most able to benefit from a Rose-Hulman education are
able to attend?
3. Campus
Life and Operations
How should our campus be equipped to provide the living and
learning environment that we will need in 2015? How will we
operate an efficient and effective “world’s best” campus?
What role will campus life play in the Rose-Hulman experience
for our students, faculty and staff? What services will our
faculty, staff and students require, and how will we provide
them?
4.
Community and World Relationships
Who will be our most important external partners in 2015? How
will we extend our reach, and provide opportunities for
members of our community, in the wider world? Will we have a
physical presence outside Terre Haute? Outside the United
States? What will this mean for our campus community? How
will we contribute to our Terre Haute and Indiana communities
? How will our alumni relate to Rose-Hulman as a potential
source of learning and fellowship throughout their
professional lives?
