I would like to welcome the five newest members to the Rose-Hulman Alumni
Advisory Board: John Brabender ’81, Ed Wheeler ‘82, Shawn Patterson ’95, Jeff
Papa ‘93, and Jason Zielke ‘00. As a faculty member, Ed’s membership on the
board links us even closer to this key part of our school. Thank you for
volunteering your time and energy! The May 1st retirement party for Dr. Hulbert will be something you do not
want to miss. Please plan on attending this historic event. Bunny Nash, Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs & Special Events, has
decided to accept the full time position of Manager of Hatfield Hall & Director
of Student Performing Arts. Bunny has worked with Rose-Hulman Alumni for over 5
years and will be greatly missed by all of us. Thank you Bunny! We welcome Carey
Treager Huber who has replaced Bunny in the Alumni office. Not enough space for ten, but how about my top five list of things you could
do for Rose-Hulman in 2004! #5 – Take a new faculty member to lunch. Did you know that 40% of the faculty
have been hired in the past 3 years? #4 – Refer a high school student to the admissions office. In addition to
Rose Alumni Recruiting Engineers (RARE) efforts, individual referrals are
received every year. Please forward the name, address, high school, and year of
graduation to the admissions office. #3 – Be a mentor for a Rose-Hulman student. We currently have 40 students and
alumni matched in this new program but 28 students are waiting for alumni
volunteers! #2 – Buy a brick. Almost 1,000 bricks have been sold, raising $280,000 for
the Reflection Plaza. What a great way to leave a lasting legacy for yourself or
your family. #1 – HOMECOMING 2004! Meet the new President, visit the new alumni center,
and see all your old friends. Make your reservations now for October 8th and
9th. With the Covered Bridge Festival being the same weekend, hotels are filling
up fast. The momentum is building for all of the special events this year. Come join
us in the celebration! Doug Stearley
