One third of all Rose-Hulman alumni graduated in the last ten years.  These graduates are referred to as G.O.L.D. or Graduates of the Last Decade.

The Rose-Hulman Young Alumni Council (YAC) was formed in 2001 to address the growing need to foster interaction between Rose-Hulman and those who have graduated in the last decade.  Their mission is to serve as the voice and as advocates for young alumni; to promote a sense of community between individual young alumni members and Rose-Hulman through events planned with those individuals in mind.”

With programming specifically designed for alumni who have graduated within the last 10 years, the Young Alumni Council provides opportunities to socialize with fellow graduates, network for career opportunities and serve both the community and Rose-Hulman.
