On behalf of all alumni, I want to express a sincere welcome to the new president of Rose-Hulman, Jack Midgley, and to his family. Jack brings an impressive academic and professional background to his role as leader of our Institute. His combination of successful business leadership in global settings, combined with award-winning teaching and team-building, make him the ideal leader as we prepare to take Rose-Hulman to the next level of excellence. Recently, your Alumni Advisory Board enjoyed the opportunity to have dinner with Jack and his wife, Ellen. The Midgleys are excited and proud to join the Rose-Hulman community. Jack is a dynamic, high-energy leader who I know will work closely with alumni. He will travel extensively over the next few months to meet with our alumni nationwide and listen to our ideas about the future direction of Rose-Hulman. Cities that Jack will visit are listed on the inside back cover of this issue of Echoes, and we expect to have a final schedule very soon. If you would like to help with these visits, please contact me or call Brian Dyer at 812-877-8359. During his first few weeks as president, Jack has already met with many alumni in Detroit, Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Columbus, Ind. He is working hard to learn about the expectations and hopes of our alumni, and I know that he is listening carefully. I encourage you to meet Rose-Hulman's new president by attending one of the upcoming alumni events and by participating in Homecoming Oct. 8-9. Doug Stearley, President P.S. The terms for three of our committee chairs on the Alumni Advisory Board will expire this fall. This is a great opportunity to get involved in the activities of your alma mater. Please contact Brian Dyer in the Alumni Office at (812) 877-8359 or brian.dyer@rose-hulman.edu if you have any interest or would like more information.”
