Summer 2003

Rose-Hulman students answered more than 22,000 calls this school through the Homework Hotline mathematics and science tutoring service, more than doubling the 10, 305 calls received in 2001-2002.  The prospects are event greater when the free telephone service expands to help middle and high school students across southern Indiana next year.

The Hotline is in the midst of a three-year expansion throughout Indian, after becoming a valuable resource for teachers in Indianapolis and West Central Indiana.  Fort Wayne, Anderson and Muncie were target cities this year.

Ninety-seven percent of callers surveyed found that Rose-Hulman tutors helped them understand how to find the right answers to their problem.  The Hotline number is 1-877-ASK-ROSE, and it is available from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays from early September to late May.  For more information, visit the service’s web site at www.askrose.org.
