Curriculum for the 21st Century * Olin Advanced Learning Center
- A $3.5 million grant from theF.W. Olin Foundation created the addition to Olin Hall.
The Center achieves a campaign goal to create classrooms where flexible learning space
utilizes the latest technologies to enable faculty to implement innovative teaching
methods. * Technology and Entrepreneurial Development Program (TED)
- A $4 million Lilly Endowment grant is helping Rose-Hulman develop a national model
for project-based engineering and science education. TED expands efforts by
faculty/student teams to assist Indiana businesses. It also creates more internships for
students and increases opportunities for graduates to begin their careers in Indiana. * John T. Myers Center for Technological Research with Industry
- The facility will increase career-related educational opportunities for students and expand efforts by Rose-Hulman project teams to help businesses become more competitive. Funds totaling $6.7 million for the Center came from the United States Department of Energy and the Army Corps of Engineers. Increased Financial Aid A $6 million gift for scholarships from the estate of Carl
Carlson (’47) and his wife, Mildred, was the largest gift Rose-Hulman has ever
received for scholarship support. Enhancing Student Services The expansion of the Hulman Union and the construction of
the Sports and Recreation Center provide students with a modern career services center,
dining hall, health center, bookstore, and facilities for physical fitness, athletics and
intramurals. Improving Campus Computer Infrastructure Campaign support has also made it possible to increase
investment in hardware, software, networks and personnel to meet the computer needs of our
faculty, students and staff. Rose-Hulman was among the first undergraduate colleges in the
nation to require new students to purchase laptop computers. Next fall, every student at
Rose-Hulman will own a laptop computer. |
