Rose-Hulman 2015 Groups Focus on Question About the Future

Three key questions that will be important to the strategic planning for the college's future are being studied by three groups as the “Rose-Hulman 2015: A Conversation About Our Future” project continues to move forward.

Each group is considering one of the following questions:

  • What are we deeply passionate about?

  • What can we be the best at in the world?

  • What drives our economic engine?

These three questions grew out of discussions the Institute Planning Group conducted last summer as it continued to study the summary of more than 1,900 responses to the Rose-Hulman 2015 project that have been received from various constituents. The Institute Planning Group consists of academic department heads, the President's Cabinet members and other faculty and staff.

The three new discussion groups began meeting in late October and will have draft reports completed by mid- February, stated Robert Bright, chairman of the Rose- Hulman Board of Trustees and chief executive officer of the Institute. The draft reports will be presented to the Board of Trustees at its regular winter meeting in late February.

The three groups consist of less than 10 members each and include alumni, faculty, staff and student representatives. If you are interested in providing input to the any of the groups’ discussions, contact the following persons via e-mail (first name.lastname@rose-hulman.edu):
