Summer 2007

Exciting Days at a Truly Special Place
By Tom Curry, President of the Rose-Hulman Alumni Board

These are exciting days at Rose! In March, the Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl Trophy traveled to Rose-Hulman, the summer camp host to the Colts. In April, Dr. Gerald S. Jakubowski was inaugurated as the 13th president of Rose-Hulman. In May, Rose graduated the highly talented Class of 2007 in the Sports and Recreation Center. The things that are happening at Rose make me proud to be an alumnus.

There are many ways for you, as a Rose alumnus, to get involved and have fun! On the Fourth of July, Rose-Hulman hosted “A Day at the Ball Park” at an Indianapolis Indians baseball game. It was a fun afternoon for the entire family with a Rose- Hulman picnic complete with food and refreshments before the game followed by the game and fireworks at the beautiful Victory Field. The “Vic,” as it is called, is one of the most fan- and family-friendly minor league ball parks in America.

Rose-Hulman is truly a special place. As an alum, you know that. But, perhaps, you have forgotten how special it really is. Plan to come to some of the many Rose- Hulman events. You are always welcome. Go to the Web site to see what they are and when they happen. We know that you will enjoy yourself!

I hope to see you at one of these events.
