The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), an international organization consisting of public and private higher education institutions, has chosen Rose-Hulman President Samuel F. Hulbert as one of two recipients of its District Five Executive Leadership Award.

Hulbert was chosen from 26 higher-education officials from schools in eight Midwestern states who were nominated for the award. Hulbert received the award during the CASE International Assembly July 6 in Chicago.

He was honored for creating a vision and inspiring the Rose-Hulman community to be innovators who achieve important strategic institutional goals. The selection committee noted that Hulbert has led Rose-Hulman through historic growth and success that has earned the college national recognition as one of the best schools for engineering, mathematics and science education.

Hulbert Receives Honorary Degree From Clarkson University

Rose-Hulman President Samuel F. Hulbert received an honorary doctor of science degree at Clarkson University's 109th Commencement in Potsdam, N.Y., on Sunday, May 12.

The degree was awarded "for his groundbreaking humanitarian achievements in biomedical engineering and ceramic science, and for his distinguished career and visionary leadership in higher education."

In addressing the graduates Hulbert said, "I believe the more you put into every one of your relationships, the more you'll get out of it. I believe the more you put into your career, the more you'll be rewarded. I believe the more you put into your community, the more you'll get out of it.

"Find a career for which you have a great passion; life goes by very, very quickly. Help develop a magic bullet for cancer, a cure for diabetes, or a new hip prosthesis. But most of all, make this a better world for your fellow human beings."

Since becoming the eleventh president of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in 1976, Hulbert has led Rose-Hulman through a period of unprecedented growth and quality improvement resulting in the college earning a national reputation.

Hulbert is not only well known for his Rose-Hulman leadership. He also is a pioneer in the use of ceramics to create artificial knees, hips and dental prostheses. In addition to a career of accomplishment in teaching and educational administration, he has been the principal investigator on eight major research projects. He has been honored by American and European medical societies for his contributions to biomedical engineering. He has also served as the president of the American Association of Independent Technological Universities.

Clarkson University, located in Potsdam, New York, is an independent technological university with 2,600 undergraduates and 350 graduate students.
