It’s always a pleasure to see how Rose-Hulman’s reputation continues to expand. We, of course, all know the school provides an outstanding education and preparation for life but it’s nice to see others recognize this also. The continuing recognition by U.S. News and World Report is certainly helpful as is recognition in other media, including the many publications that Rose-Hulman itself puts out. The best form of recognition, however, comes from each one of us who are alums of Rose. Our performance in our jobs, our promoting Rose at work and among our friends and neighbors, and our advice about Rose-Hulman to young people considering a more technical education are all factors in enhancing the image of our school and increasing the awareness of Rose-Hulman as the premier engineering school of its size in the United States. In order to continue this effort and do our part, we, the alums, need to continue to stay connected, stay in touch, and stay involved. There are many ways to do this. Among them are: your alumni clubs; using the Rose-Hulman web site; using e-mail (almost 70% of all Rose-Hulman grads have e-mail addresses) to contact others; attending Homecoming and the many other events Rose hosts and sponsors; using the many publications of Rose-Hulman, including Echoes. The point I’m trying to make here is that we all have ample opportunity to be involved in whichever way is the most comfortable for each of us. I hope each of you will take advantage of these opportunities. Bob Schacht
Soon, Rose-Hulman alumni will have a permanent e-mail address, compliments of the Alumni Affairs Office. The e-mail forwarding service will provide a permanent e-mail address at the alumni.rose-hulman.edu domain. The e-mail forwarding service will forward email messages to alumni, at any location, as long as they keep us updated with their current e-mail address. E-mail forwarding requires that you have your own e-mail account with an Internet Service Provider. It sends e-mail to – but does not supply – your own email account. With e-mail forwarding from the Rose-Hulman Alumni Office, you will be able to keep an alumni.rosehulman.edu e-mail address for life. Please note that the e-mail forwarding service is not an e-mail or Internet account. It does not provide you with a mailbox or access to the Internet. E-mail forwarding service does not store mail, it only forwards it.
For the first time, the Rose-Hulman Alumni Office is sponsoring two alumni tour options for 2003. The first is a Young Alumni Tour of Ireland. Slated for April 19-27, 2003, this tour is geared toward a young alumnus’ travel interest and pocketbook. Highlights of the tour include stays in Dublin, Kilkenny, Killarney and visits to the Blarney Castle, Rig of Kerry and the Cliffs of Moher. Of course, there will be plenty of time to explore the Irish Pubs. Priority will be given to alumni (and their guests) who graduated in the years 1992-2002. The second tour, an African Safari, will be hosted by President Samuel Hulbert and his wife, Joy. This 16-day luxury "photo safari" will take you to the heart of Kenya and Tanzania. The itinerary includes stays in Nairobi, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, Maasai Mara and the Mount Kenya Safari Club. Dates for the Safari Tour are June 7-22, 2003. For more information regarding tour itineraries contact Bunny Nash at 1-800- 248-7448, ext. 8465.
