associate with the Indianapolis law firm of Plew, Shadley, Racher & Braun.
The Indiana Lawyer recently named Gotwald as one of Indiana's "Up and Coming
Lawyers" and his expertise in various environmental law areas made him a
perfect choice to help team teach an environmental survey class at the
Indiana University School of Law in Indianapolis in 2007. He is currently in
the process of writing a law review article addressing current issues in
cases involving insurance coverage for environmental liability claims. He
earned his law degree from the Vermont School of Law in 2004.
Jennifer McCue, a 2002 chemical engineering alumnus (computer science
minor), is an associate specializing in intellectual property practice for
the Dickstein Shapiro law firm in the Washington, D.C. Her practice includes
the preparation and prosecution of patent applications as well as client
counseling and litigation matters. McCue continues to contribute to Rose-Hulman's
success by organizing and hosting events in the nation's capital as well as
returning to campus to be a guest lecturer on patent prosecution and a
panelist for women's history month. She graduated from the University of
Virginia School of Law in 2005 and is currently pursuing a masters degree in
biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University.
Tarelle Osborn, a 2001 civil engineering alumnus, is president Osborn
Consulting, Inc., which she launched in 2004 near Seattle, Wash. The company
provides surface water design, modeling, and analysis expertise for a
broad-base of government and private sector clients, including multi-million
dollar design-build contracts for the Washington State Department of
Transportation and other local jurisdictions. She has served the American
Society of Civil Engineers as a Seattle section board member and national
committee member. Osborn works closely with Rose-Hulman to recruit graduates
and summer interns.
Tori Wenger, a 2004 computer science alumnus, is the youngest senior
engineering manager for Rockwell Collins, leading an enterprise-wide
database development effort since 2006. She submitted one patent application
and has four more pending submission. Wenger is co-chair of Rockwell
Collins' Rose-Hulman recruiting efforts, helping the college achieve trusted
partnership status and Rockwell Collins become one of the top employers of
RHIT graduates. She also served as visiting professor in Rose-Hulman's
Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering during the 2007-08
academic year.
