Jalen Powell

Meet Jalen

A computer science major from St. Louis, Missouri and hopes to improve lives through software or app development.

What do you most expect to gain from being part of our scholars program?

Just the experience and the friendships that'll come along the way.

How do you spend your free time?

I spend my free time watching Youtube/Netflix, playing with my dog, playing Mario Kart, and hanging out with my friends. Sometimes I'll listen to music but not often.

What is the nerdiest thing you do?

Honestly, the nerdiest thing I do would probably be playing Mario Kart by myself for hours on end.

How do you hope to change the world with the knowledge you’ll gain at Rose-Hulman?

I'm not expecting to make an impact as soon as I graduate, but I do expect myself to use the skills I'll obtain from Rose and apply them well to whatever I'm doing in the future. Hopefully, I can develop/create something significant (such as an app or software update) that'll help a lot of people.

How did you know Rose was right for you?

The first time I laid eyes on the campus and the people there, I knew Rose was definitely going to be the one for me.
