Dr. Cary Laxer captures alumni insights for shaping Rose-Hulman's future as The "Great" Debate moves forward.

 

In Los Angeles, 20 participants came together at the Westin Bonaventure hotel to meet with President Branam and the The "Great" Debate tour team as the tour gathers momentum. Vice President for Institutional Development, Rickey McCurry and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Phil Cornwell, shared some of their current strategies with the group, and led the discussion of challenges that may face the Institute in the future. The "Great" Debate is designed to capture the best ideas from our community, and so the workshop began by examining Rose-Hulman's cores values. Then the alums  proposed some potential pathways towards a "Great" future for Rose-Hulman.  In particular, the Los Angeles discussions revolved around optimizing Rose-Hulman's knack for preparing graduates for contemporary professional practice.
