Recruitment Mailer Makes a Splash Humor can be an effective tool for capturing the attention of prospective students. Lucky for us, it also evokes the personality that is distinctly Rose. Last year, we incorporated this approach in our new admissions mailer while paying homage to the past. “A Watersports Paradise” harkens back to the popular “Ski Terre Haute” recruitment poster from the late 1970s. The new brochure won a national Circle of Excellence award this June from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), with the judges noting the “tongue-in-cheek content was creative and clever, and at the same time it communicates the actual message very effectively.” You can enjoy the fun, too, at www.rose-hulman.edu/paradise.

ECHOES

FALL 2019

From the President

@ROSEHULMANPREZ

ntrepreneurs dream big. They see opportunities where others do not. They introduce new ideas, products and methods of doing things that literally change the world. Rose-Hulman has always fostered an entrepreneurial spirit as an organization. We were one of the first institutions to require laptop computers for all students back in the 1990s. The first institution to offer a degree in chemical engineering, today we’re among the first to offer degrees in engineering design, optical engineering, biomathematics and data science.

BY ROB COONS, PRESIDENT coons@rose-hulman.edu

Our students can’t help but absorb the entrepreneurial spirit. From the Kremer and Branam Innovation Centers to Rose-Hulman Ventures, students are constantly designing creative solutions to real-world challenges. We all know that entrepreneurship means more than starting a business. It’s recognizing a challenge and taking a chance on a new way to tackle it. As this issue of Echoes makes clear, our alumni are doing this routinely and successfully. For instance, Jeff Ready

was recently named one of the top 25 disrupters in technology by CRN and Mike Mussallem made Edwards Lifesciences a world leader in patient-focused medical innovations for treating structural heart disease, critical care and patient monitoring. Similarly, we must embrace an entrepreneurial approach at Rose-Hulman to meet today’s challenges in higher education. As STEM programs spring up around the country, the competition we are facing for the world’s best students has increased dramatically. Though one response might be to lower our academic standards and become more like other colleges or universities, this runs counter to our heritage, tradition and basic instinct. Instead, we must stand firm on our commitment to deliver the world’s best science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, while giving our students a high-touch experience unlike any other. This is the formula that has made us U.S. News & World Report’s No. 1 undergraduate engineering program for the past 21 years, and the formula that is core to our mission. It’s why we are engaged in the $250 million Mission Driven campaign that will provide us the financial strength to continue improving our facilities and employ the finest faculty and staff, all while making a Rose-Hulman experience more affordable for the best students, regardless of their financial background. We know remaining a world-class institution requires creative thinking, financial investment and hard work. Like our entrepreneurial alumni, we are always looking for new and better ways to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Please enjoy this issue of Echoes and celebrate with me the entrepreneurial spirit that continues to make Rose-Hulman a world leader in STEM education.

Just wanted to show my support for Echoes going green. I enjoy flipping through each printed issue for 30 to 40 minutes, whenever I get it, and feel so guilty tossing it away after reading. The digital issue is a much more pleasurable experience, without the guilt. I hope the rest of the alumni community agrees. – Jon Papp (ME, 2010)

EDITOR’S NOTE:

Feedback Setting Course For Future Digital Issues We asked for your input about Echoes’ first all-digital issue, published this summer (you can view the edition on rosehulman.edu/Echoes), and you certainly delivered. We were delighted with the considerable response, as it was the most feedback received on any issue in history. All feedback will be taken under consideration as the institute examines the best ways to provide Echoes’ content to readers, including the option to receive only a digital version of the magazine. We also continue to evaluate the best online publishing options that make the content easy to read and navigate on electronic devices. Summer Echoes was viewed nearly 3,000 times, with 49% of readers using a desktop computer, 41% a tablet and 10% a mobile device. Your feedback to the summer issue reveals that Echoes is a publication that our alumni and friends enjoy, with content that’s relevant and keeps them connected to Dear Old Rose. As promised, we’re back to a print issue this fall and spring, but are planning another all-digital issue for next summer. In the meantime, keep the feedback coming. We enjoy reading your comments! – Dale Long, Executive Editor

The digital edition looked good and it’s especially enhanced with the video links. That’s the best engagement for me to have links to offer more content. The summer reading books story could have had links to purchase the books on Amazon. Overall, it looks good to me. – Chris York (CS, 1987) The magazine was presented well, but I had the problem that I usually have with digital format magazines: they are too hard to read, as you have to expand each page to make the print large enough to read. It is a good idea and eco-friendly, but (the summer issue) was hard to navigate and read. – Stephen McLellen (EE, 1969) I am not really a fan of the digital magazines. However, having spent most of my business career in the business-to-business publishing world, I know why you would like to get out of the paper printing and postage era. Just know that if I’m given the choice, I will choose paper. – Steve Kern (CE, 1963) I love the electronic format and hope that we will be allowed to opt-out of the paper version, as it is redundant and (the digital issue) saves Rose $$. – Paul Brandenburg (CS/EE, 1977)

Elephant Ears

READER FEEDBACK I much prefer the paper copy of Echoes. I understand people wanting to save the environment, but Echoes is the one print magazine I would like to receive at my house. I love having it sitting around to inspire my kids (as I don’t allow them to have screens). I can respect that other people prefer a digital version, as I feel that way about other alumni magazines and other mailings I receive, but I love to see Echoes printed on our counter and in our living room. It’s so much more convenient to pick up for a momentary read. I dislike reading on screens, personally. I’m glad the fall version will be a paper version. – Sami (Dick) DeVries (BSBE/ME, 2008; MSBE, 2010) I especially congratulate you on your roll-out strategy (for the summer issue), letting everyone know what to expect and when. – Jeff Witten (ME, 1971) This is a great issue, with a number of interesting stories. Still, I greatly prefer the print medium. E-mags are difficult to view on small screens and are also easily deleted by the target audience. Please consider returning to print. – Gary Wooddell (CHE, 1976) I prefer the paper edition of Echoes. I do most of my reading on airplanes or other places where I don’t have an internet connection, so the paper edition is much more convenient for me. However, I do understand that the cost of the digital edition is much less. – Brent Waggoner (MSEE, 2003) Love the all-digital version of Echoes! Makes it easy to share with others. I’m a bit old school, so I was skeptical, but I’m sold. – Scott Hiller (ME, 1991) Beautiful! Glad to see we are coming into the digital age. – Mac Fehsenfeld (CHE, 1952)

Chauncey Has Quite a Summer Even before starting college, first-year mechanical engineering student Claire Smithers was taking Rose-Hulman to new heights in a skydiving adventure at Go Jump Oceanside in California, with a picture of the institute’s founder, Chauncey Rose, providing good luck. The image won this year’s Flat Chauncey Contest. Chauncey also accompanied Bill Lonnberg and James Gryga (both ME, 1981) as they recreated a 1979 backpacking adventure at Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park, soaked up the sun in Hawaii with Director of Student Academic Success Sarah Forbes, and visited one of the Smithsonian museums with Thomas Foulkes (EE, 2015).

ECHOES

FALL 2019

And, it could be extinguished as quickly as the process was started. The entrepreneurial mindset is thriving within Rose-Hulman alumni, from many different eras, who know quite well the trials and tribulations of starting, building, nurturing and, in some cases, failing in business enterprises throughout the world. These entrepreneurs know that there’s no magic formula for success in this enterprise. While there may be some special ingredients—passion, creativity, curiosity, persistence and risk-taking (to name just a few provided to Echoes)—there were many other elements that some of our entrepreneurial alumni learned to appreciate along their journeys. Most entrepreneurial pursuits start with a great out-of-the-box idea. Data science was a relatively new concept in 2004 when Christopher Piedmonte and others with the startup XSPRADA created the first databases built on data algebra systems. The concept broke down an old well-established paradigm in favor of a new, first-of-its-kind concept. “We had to prove that IBM, Oracle and the rest of the database industry was wrong on their fundamental concept of what data is and how it should be managed. This required the invention of new mathematics,” says the 1985 electrical engineering graduate. Piedmonte was XSPRADA’s co-founder, chief executive officer and chief technology officer from 2004 until 2009. This is another entrepreneurial trait—being able to apply your skills to many roles within the company. Investors took notice of XSPRADA after a prototype demonstrated that its innovative techniques could be practically applied in the real world, and well ahead of any competitor in the marketplace.

RISK TAKERS

Piedmonte wasn’t done there. In an entrepreneurial career spanning more than 30 years, he has specialized in forming and nurturing technology startups, managing early-stage growth, and performing turnarounds on failing ventures. His latest project is NeoTerra Capital, a Florida-based, special-purpose investment and startup mentoring firm that’s focused on seed-stage technology companies in a variety of industries and markets. “Building companies is a team sport,” he says. “You need to get the best players you can, make sure they understand the objectives and their role, get them the resources they need to succeed, clear the barriers for them, and if at all possible, stay out of their way.” LEADING-EDGE SOLUTIONS Most alumni interviewed for this story agree that being on the cutting edge is a key component to any entrepreneurial enterprise, especially when it involves technology.

Successful serial entrepreneurs Dustin Sapp and Michael Hatfield agree wholeheartedly with Kull’s assessment. Sapp is chief operating officer of his fourth technology-based startup, Formstack, while Hatfield is leading the cutting-edge entity Carium after founding Calix and Cyan Optics, which were both acquired by major companies. “Starting a company is one of the most difficult paths you can choose in your professional life, so make sure you choose that path with your eyes wide open,” Sapp says. “Most entrepreneurs hit the wall and burn themselves out relatively early in their career, often because of the weight they put on their personal success. When you prioritize correctly, succeeding as an entrepreneur has the opportunity to bring honor to the things in life that you value most.”

He was named one of Crain’s Chicago 2019 Tech 50 emerging leaders. “I have had to round out my skills over the last 30 years. I’m much more knowledgeable about marketing, sales and finance than I was even 20 years ago,” he adds. “Entrepreneurs must be prepared to dig in and learn these other areas of running a business. Most of the time, the difficult problems are not technical in nature.”

After spending 13 years as a managing partner with a medical device firm, 1998 chemical engineering alumnus Jon Speer has been overcoming those odds since 2013 as the founder of Greenlight Guru. The startup offers software solutions for medical device professionals. While the medical device industry offers challenges, the opportunity is equally as grand with a global market estimated between $400 billion and $520 billion. Currently, Greenlight Guru has few competitors in the marketplace.

Where There’s A Mill, There’s A Way... In 1819, a young Chauncey Rose started his first business–a sawmill that served western Indiana settlers. Fifty years, and many successful ventures later, he laid the foundation for the private engineering college that would bear his name. Like all skilled entrepreneurs, Rose had a knack for seeing a need and filling it, including the needs of the less fortunate. In Terre Haute alone, his philanthropic enterprises endowed an orphanage, a charity hospital and a ladies’ aid society—giving back to the community that had given him so much. Rose-Hulman’s new Sawmill Society gives alumni entrepreneurs a forum for sharing insights, experience and inspiration with each other, while keeping Chauncey Rose’s spirit of giving alive. Members enjoy networking with other entrepreneurial alumni along with Rose-Hulman students, faculty and staff, and having access to resources through the institute’s network of innovative alumni and campus services like career services and Rose-Hulman Ventures. Sawmill Society members are entrepreneurs and innovators who have started a company or hold equity in one. These alumni value their RoseHulman experience and want to make an impact on the campus as their entrepreneurial success grows. Members believe in collaboration and find inspiration by networking and sharing experiences with other like-minded innovators in society. Member Chris Piedmonte, managing director of NeoTerra Capital, says, “Entrepreneurial discovery, invention and commercialization have been the cornerstone of American leadership in technology for the last century. Rose-Hulman must promote and foster these entrepreneurial qualities if we wish to maintain our continued leadership and preserve our country’s legacy and future.” Learn more about the society at www.rose-hulman.edu/ sawmillsociety, or by contacting Christian Shuck at shuck1@rose-hulman.edu.

“Entrepreneurs need to be open to failing and when that happens, fail fast,” Speer says. “When you have an idea or vision about a product or service, work diligently toward a minimally viable product and seek honest, objective feedback from real users, not your friends and family.” He then offers another important nugget of advice: “Be vulnerable enough to trust others along the journey. Realize others can make your vision better. And, when others contribute and have some shared ownership, a small team of people will be able to achieve a higher level of greatness.” Greenlight Guru is recruiting top talent from both coasts and Indiana, with plans to reach 120 employees next year, and expanding into multiple spaces at The Union 525 tech hub in downtown Indianapolis.

Jon Speer (CHE, 1998), founder/vice president with Greenlight Guru, says that when others contribute and have some shared ownership, a small team of people can achieve a higher level of greatness.

Marcie (Kam) Morrison, co-founder and managing member of the family-owned Streamline Designs and DroneRafts (with husband and fellow mechanical engineering alumnus Adam Morrison), asks the interesting question: “Who has ever ran a race with only one hurdle to overcome?”

There is no safety net in entrepreneurship,” says Przybyl, Snapsheet’s co-founder and chief strategy officer. “The path to any successful venture will never be clear or straightforward. An entrepreneur must adapt quickly and leverage all available resources to face challenges they never envisioned facing.”

She continues, “It takes a bit of faith to make the jump, be in the air and trust that you’re going to clear the hurdle, not fall on your face, and win the race. You must consider that the race is decades long and you might be in the air for months.”

ENTREPRENEURIAL DREAMS ON CAMPUS The entrepreneurial mindset has been a way of life for several alumni since their days on campus. Matt Gordon and Jason Gladish found out they shared a common interest in starting a tech enterprise while living in the same campus residence hall. Their career aspirations continued in their classes together over the next three years as computer science majors in the Class of 2005. After going their separate ways following graduation, the duo still kept in touch and came together in 2007 to form a software company, Expected Behavior. This allowed them the opportunity to work together indefinitely, on their own terms and with other friends. While the endeavor helps pay the bills, the duo appreciate the side benefit of working on software products that make life for their customers a little better. DocRaptor, an HTML-to-PDF service, is being used to send invoices, financial reports and concert tickets, among other things. Meanwhile, the powerful and Carrying college friendships into success affordable application with the software development firm monitoring tool, Expected Behavior have been (from Instrumental, is being left) Nathan Acuff (CS, 2002), Joel adapted by small Meador (CS, 2003), Matt Gordon (CS, and large companies 2005), Jonathon Fruchte (ME, 2005) and Jason Gladish (CS, 2005). throughout the world.

Twelve years after starting, Expected Behavior has kept its core principles: keeping things small (with less than 10 full-time employees) while being flexible, resourceful, diligent, and always keeping the customer’s needs in mind. Other Rose-Hulman alumni who have contributed to the company’s success have been Chief Financial Officer Nathan Acuff (2002, computer science), and partners Jonathon Fruchte (2005, mechanical engineering) and Joel Meador (2003, computer science). “We’re small for a reason. Many of us worked for larger companies and clamored for the days, like our days in college, when we liked being around our friends and working together toward a shared goal. It’s been a lot of fun,” Gordon says. Another set of computer science classmates, Jeff Ready and Scott Loughmiller, started their first enterprise, a web hosting and design firm, in a campus residence hall. They then hit it big California’s Silicon Valley with a junk email filtering company. Now, they’re conquering the cloud computing arena with Scale Computing, which has moved to Indiana. Ready, chief executive officer, was ranked on CRN’s list of Top 100 Executives in technology for 2019. Sapp started NoInk Communications in 2000 as an entrepreneur-in-residence at the institute’s RoseHulman Ventures. The company became a leading provider of web, tablet and handheld applications for the medical device industry, before being acquired by

Entrepreneurial Mindset Key to Educational Network Rose-Hulman was a founding member of nationwide network of engineering institutions which have committed to producing students to solve today’s grand challenges and build a better world of tomorrow. The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) is a partnership of 45 colleges and universities that are working together to bring innovation to engineering education. Rose-Hulman received the network’s Best In Class Award in 2015, and the Kern Family Foundation has supported course and project development across all academic departments for several years. The entrepreneurial mindset being instilled throughout the network has a simple, three-part definition: curiosity, connections and creating value. When combined with an engineering skillset, students demonstrate know-why in addition to know-how. This allows maker spaces, labs, extracurricular activities and courses across entire academic programs, to become hubs of transformational experiences. The Kern Family Foundation believes that students with this attitude of innovation have a head start in their careers, and are ready to take on challenges and propose solutions to employers. “The entrepreneurial mindset is a central attribute in the development of a RoseHulman graduate,” says Rose-Hulman Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Richard Stamper, a 1985 mechanical engineering alumnus. Other institutions in KEEN include Arizona State University, Clarkson University, Colorado School of Mines, Duke University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Montana State University, Ohio State University, Olin College of Engineering, Rochester Institute of Technology, Tulane University, Vanderbilt University, Villanova University, Wake Forest University and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

THE END GAME While starting and growing an entrepreneurial company can as exhilarating as riding a roller coaster, walking away from the experience can be excruciating, even if the founder benefitted financially from the experience.

– Wes Bolsen (EE, 2000), President/CEO, Ladera Tech

“It is hard not to get emotionally attached to a company or product that you started,” admits Erica (Snyder) Buxton, a 2002 chemical engineering alumna who led an educational media and technology company, EQtainment, that pioneered emotional intelligence games and content. She has backed away from the firm’s day-to-day operations to become chief financial officer with Razor USA. “Being able to step back from situations and apply logic helps take some of the emotion out of decisionmaking,” Buxton says.

He has helped lead private and public companies in the renewable energy, agricultural technology and animal nutrition markets, and now Ladera Tech, as president and chief executive officer. The Colorado-based company is developing new approaches and technologies for the prevention of wildfires. “You need to be able to handle the massive ups and downs on a sometimes daily and weekly basis,” he notes. “There’s the heartache and trials of getting traction in a new market, and the days when you want to throw in the towel and go get a 9-to-5 job are days that you push through... Being an entrepreneur requires more of my life than a lot of people are willing to give. ”

Leveling the Entrepeneurial Playing Field

ith a hard-earned and worthy diploma, Rose-Hulman alumni take with them a quiet self-confidence that they can achieve just about anything. And since the late 1990s, alumnae have been using that confidence to break cultural barriers and corporate stereotypes, including hurdles that sometimes face women entrepreneurs. Whatever your gender, you’re likely to run into obstacles when launching a business, but Virginie Adams of Salesforce says it comes with the territory. The 2012 computer engineering and mathematics graduate, with a master’s degree in engineering management a year later, says, “If you are really pushing yourself, you are guaranteed to run into challenges and obstacles daily.”

A 2002 chemical engineering degree from Rose-Hulman and a master’s degree in business administration from Harvard Business School helped Erica (Snyder) Buxton get a foot inside the corporate door. Since then, her creative ideas have paved the way for success as an entrepreneur. Her startup EQtainment initially developed a board game to help build social and emotional skills in children. That blossomed into a whole platform focused on enhancing those skills. She says, “We set out to execute on that vision and three years later we had a physical product line of toys, 48 episodes of a kids’ show, 17 songs and music videos, a subscription-based customized app for children and parents, and a full elementary school curriculum.” That kind of evolution brings its own challenges, including knowing when to pivot the business, according to Buxton. She initially was involved in sales to retailers, and now her work is largely business-to-business. “Each one of those pivots required all of us to step back and truly assess our strengths, the consumer and our product, to determine where our biggest opportunities were—and then go after them,” says Buxton, who recently added a new role as chief financial officer with Razor USA.

CLARKE LIKES BUILDING WEB SOLUTIONS

After a decade of leading, influencing and innovating high-tech ventures, 1996 computer science alumnus Jeff Ready was ranked No. 6 among technology disrupters in CRN’s list of the world’s Top 100 leaders in the competitive sphere of information technology.

Jeremy Clarke’s entrepreneurial spirit has had the 2009 software engineering and computer science alumnus finding success with his second startup, and already looking forward to his next adventure.

Jeff Ready CEO and Co-Founder Scale Computing

Ready is chief executive officer and co-founder of Scale Computing, an Indianapolisbased company that’s become a market leader in edge computing, virtualization and hyperconverged solutions. The firm has introduced new intelligent edge computing technology to global retailers, and raised a large strategic round in external funding to support research and development of future innovative projects.

Forbes magazine has twice deemed Scale Computing as one of the nation’s “Most Promising Companies” and the global research house GigaOm has recognized Scale Computing for its noteworthy capabilities in edge-core integration, data protection and ease of use. “We always set out to be as innovative as possible, delivering easy to use, costefficient products and services to the market,” says Ready. “Our innovative Scale Computing HC3 solution continues to disrupt the market, with high-growth and profitability, well beyond legacy systems.” Ready launched Scale Computing in 2007 after having startup successes in California’s Silicon Valley. “We’ve been at this for a decade. Our partners and customers like us and the products, which is why we’re seeing such explosive growth moving forward,” he says.

His document automation and generation company, WebMerge, was recently acquired by Formstack, a workplace productivity company that’s transforming how people collect and use information. The acquisition will further enhance Formstack’s document automation product, Formstack Documents. Clarke started WebMerge in 2011 to provide clients with tools to process automated contracts, applications and proposal PDF and Word documents. It now serves more than 3,000 customers in 80 countries and users have processed more than 75 million documents, saving millions of hours on manual document creation. Customers include Salesforce, Zapier and Zoho.

KULL, OLIVENCIA AMONG CHICAGO’S ‘TECH 50’

BUXTON RIDING HIGH AS CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR RAZOR USA

Electrical engineering alumni Corbett Kull (1990) and David Olivencia (1994) have been featured among the emerging stars, new faces and behindthe-scenes heroes of Chicago’s growing tech sector as members of Crain’s Chicago 2019 Tech 50 list.

Erica Buxton (CHE, 2002) continues ascending the corporate ladder with her recent appointment as chief financial officer of Razor USA, a California-based company that specializes in the growing market for scooters and personal transporters.

Kull is founder and CEO of Tillable, a first-of-its-kind e-commerce ag-tech startup that’s bringing together those who have farmland to rent with people who want to farm it. The company launched last summer and already has approximately 5,000 users. This is Kull’s second ag-tech venture. The former Motorola engineer’s 640 Labs enterprise brought big data to the business of farming. Corbett Kull Founder and CEO Tillable

Olivencia has been managing director of cloud computing for Accenture’s Midwest health care and government customers since February 2017. His Journey to Cloud Program brings together cloud services, team members and ecosystem partners to make sure customers benefit from having the right strategies and industry perspective for today’s ever-changing tech climate. “Cloud [computing] is exciting and transformational, with untold benefits,” says Olivencia. “I believe if your business is not in the cloud, it will be in the ground.”

David Olivencia Managing Director Accenture Midwest

Prior to Accenture, Olivencia had technology and business strategy leadership positions with Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, Ford Motor Company, Oracle, Verizon and Softtek.

Buxton is also executive chairman of the board of directors for EQtainment, a media and technology company that’s pioneering emotional intelligence educational games and content. She served as the company’s chief executive officer for nearly four years. Previously, her skills were utilized in setting strategy for Mattel products, including a $5 billion retail portfolio with Barbie and Hot Wheels, and a fellowship with Unreasonable, an investment fund and global network supporting entrepreneurs who are hoping to change the world. And, all of this has taken place since 2014! Buxton says, “While I was studying engineering, I wanted to change people’s lives. I started my career in pharmaceutical research and development at Eli Lilly and Company. Then I went to business school (MBA in 2007 from the Harvard Business School) to broaden my horizons and see where

that would take me. Every step along the way has been stimulating and interesting professionally, and quite satisfying personally.” From its headquarters in Cerritos, Calif., Razor USA has found success designing and manufacturing electric and kick-propelled scooters, hoverboards and skateboards for riders of all ages. Buxton joined with another Harvard graduate to create EQtainment in hopes of improving children’s social and emotional skills through entertaining games, books, popular music and the Q Wunder show as vehicles to help children learn important life skills.

Indy Rolling Out Red Carpet to Welcome Tech Alumni Dramatic shifts are occurring in cities across the country, among them cities in which many Rose-Hulman alumni reside. I anticipate that these shifts will, in the medium-term, change the choices you make about where to live as mid-career professionals and new graduates.

MIKE LANGELLIER is president and chief executive officer of TechPoint, Indiana’s statewide technology initiative focused on growing the local tech sector.

According to LinkedIn, Chicago, the Bay Area and Seattle are among the top 10 destinations for Rose-Hulman grads. They are also among the cities the Brookings Institution’s Mark Muro describes as in “livability crises” in the recent Wall Street Journal article “Workers Are Fleeing Big Cities for Smaller Ones—and Taking Their Jobs With Them.” Professionals are moving to cities like Boise, Las Vegas, Charlotte and Indianapolis. They are trading up for greater discretionary income, more living space, shorter commutes, and better quality of life, even continuing to work, albeit remotely, for their prior employer. We have experienced this trend at TechPoint, the nonprofit growth accelerator for Indiana’s tech ecosystem. We designed a “Red Carpet Experience” event for 25 professionals with tech industry experience that’s in demand by employers. The plan was to fly them and their significant others to Indianapolis, put them up in hotels, introduce them to such participating employers as Salesforce, Cummins, Eli Lilly, Raytheon, GEICO, Angie’s List, and a bunch of startups. We also would help them experience Indy neighborhoods, schools, and community over the course of two to three days in October. Expecting 100 and 150 respondents, we were delighted when nearly 400 applications came in, many from “livability crises” states of California, Illinois, New York and Washington. We’re seeing this shift at the student- and newgraduate level as well. TechPoint’s Xtern program

recruits tech-skilled college students from across the country for 170 internships and jobs with more than 60 central Indiana companies. The program includes free housing and an impressive array of after-work professional development and social activities. This summer, we received more than 1,800 applications from 43 home states and 120 universities. More than 1,600 of those students are pursuing careers in software engineering, data science, information technology or cybersecurity. Most of our Xterns aren’t familiar with Indianapolis’ tech ecosystem. Two years ago, when students arrived, only 19 percent expected to live and work in Indy after graduation, but afterward, 73 percent expected to stay here—a 54 percent swing in sentiment! This summer, 75 percent of the class left likely to return. More dramatic, however, were the 37 percent who entered likely to work in Indy after graduation, up from 19 percent in 2018. As the shine wears off the traditional tech hubs and new hubs emerge, opinions are changing. Tech is the fastest-growing major industry sector by far in the Indianapolis region, making this one of the fastest-growing tech hubs in the U.S. From 2010 to 2016, the region’s tech workforce grew 67 percent. Companies added 1,600 new jobs to our tech ecosystem last year, according to CompTIA’s 2019 Cyberstates report. Indianapolis is now Salesforce’s second largest location, with 2,000 employees, and headquarters of their “marketing cloud.” Infosys is adding 3,000 jobs, making this area its largest North American site. Genesys and Angie’s List are also major contributors to the community’s growing tech sector. Another positive trend is the “tech-ification” of companies in other industries. The article “Tech Jobs Aren’t Just in Tech” by Indeed’s Hiring Lab points to the increase of tech workers hired by companies in industries like finance, energy and retail. We are seeing that in Indiana as well. If you’re among Rose-Hulman alumni considering a move, come back “home” to Indiana. We’re rolling the red carpet out for you! We’ll likely do another Red Carpet Experience again. If you’re interested, go to TechPoint.org/here.

“In general, the joy comes in the excitement and adventure of the journey, more than the destination. I’d liken it to an elaborate scavenger hunt or puzzle. We’re trying to find old stagecoach roads that only exist on 60-year-old United States Geological Survey maps in order to track down the wreckage of an experimental aircraft. Other times, it’s as simple as trying not to get lost, discovering new campsites where it’s possible no one has ever camped, or encountering broken-down travelers along the way and helping them solve a problem. Really, it comes down to being mesmerized by the sounds, smells and sight of a perfect campfire, your beverage of choice in your hand, surrounded by people you love in a beautiful place with no one else within 100 miles.”

ix motorsports alumni have embraced the spirit of the old adage “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” to take an old sports car, an engine with about 195,000 miles, and other discarded parts to score victories in the 24 Hours of Lemons endurance road racing series. Along the way the racers have had lots of fun flexing their engineering and driving skills, and maintaining friendships that have endured nearly two decades. Going by the team name The Rod Throwin’ Fools, former Team Rose Motorsports members Michael Gough, Cooper Lacy, Frank Levinson, Matthew Neisen, Matthew Smith and Alexander Yovanovich—all mechanical engineering alumni—step away from their engineering jobs across the country three or four weekends each year for a unique amateur racing experience that limits total car building expenses to less than $500. Rules prohibit contact between the 80 to 100 cars on the track and races are light-hearted experiences with fun-themed cars decorated as a flying pig, wagon train and a stretch Corvette striving to being recognized with such humorous honors as the I Got Screwed award. The top prize— $400 in nickels—doesn’t cover the race entry fee.

Motorsports Alumni Working Together to Keep Relationships on Track

In the case of the Rose-Hulman alumni team, members have modified a 1987 Toyota MR2 with a well-used 3.0-liter V6 engine from a 1998 Lexus ES300 model that was found in a junkyard. The car’s Indiana RH 101 license plate came from one of the members’ old cars. “Any form of racing is tough, but there’s no better feeling than performing miracles with a lousy piece of equipment for 24 hours and coming out on top,” says Gough, a 2007 alumnus.

Yovanovich, a 2002 graduate, adds, “Subjecting a 32-year-old car to abuse that its creators never intended gives us plenty of opportunities to solve problems together, sometimes with comically improvised solutions at the track, to keep the car in the race.”

The Rod Throwin’ Fools members (from left) Alexander Yovanovich, Frank Levinson, Cooper Lacy, Michael Gough, Matthew Neisen and Matthew Smith celebrate the team’s victory in a full start-to-finish 24-hour race at Carolina Motorsports Park in April.

After several near victories in their first three years of racing, the team had their first racing triumph late in 2017 at the famed Road Atlanta race track. Their greatest triumph came this spring by outlasting competitors by an impressive 12 laps in one of the series’ true 24-hour races at the Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, S.C.

Deep-Rooted Racing Relationships The team’s racing heritage goes back to the students’ days as members of Team Rose Motorsports, when they would work together to repair, design and fabricate sports cars for autocross and time trial races at tracks near campus. The racing was affordable, costing $20 for a Saturday afternoon, and the experiences helped relieve the stresses of Rose-Hulman’s rigorous coursework. Lacy, a 2004 graduate and engineering manager with NTK Precision Axle Corp. in central Indiana, says, “For many of us, Team Rose Motorsports was our first hands-on experience in motorsports.

It was a great way to learn car control and ultimately a great segue into the wheel-to-wheel racing that we’re doing today. Many long days and evenings were spent together in the TRM barn learning to work on or modifying cars. These activities built lifelong friendships that we still enjoy today.” Lacy, Gough and Yovanovich came up with the idea of rekindling the TRM experiences by building a car in 2014 for the 24 Hours of Lemons series. Smith joined in the fun that first year, while Levinson and Neisen became team members in recent years. “When the guys let me know what they were planning, I was all-in,” remarks Smith, a 2004 alumnus who is general manager of engineering with JW Hicks Inc. in Knox, Indiana. “For me, it’s not all about racing as much as it is racing with this group of friends. Once I graduated, I did some other racing type of events (autocross and track days), but honestly it wasn’t as fun as when I was with these guys...it has been a fantastic time.” (CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE)

Working Together to Overcome Obstacles Like in the past, racing is a team effort, with each member taking turns as driver, mechanic, pit crew member, strategist and providing support throughout each weekend event. “Half the fun is racing the car, the other half is building it, getting it to the track and pranking each other along the way,” says Gough, a senior engineering project team leader with Caterpillar Inc. in Lafayette, Ind. Levinson has been an amateur racer for more than 20 years and was involved with another team in the early days of the 24 Hours of Lemons series before joining the Rose-Hulman team. “In amateur racing, we all do this for fun, which means no one is above doing another job to help the team,” says the 2003 graduate. “Winning is fun, but it’s the shared struggle and overcoming obstacles that stand out for me. The Lemons series helps to make the competition friendly. We all share notes about how to get the most out of the car and go as fast as we can.”

The team was leading a race near Chicago before a cut spring sliced through a tire and its’ spare, hampering the final result. The victory on the Road Atlanta track came after they received a spare MR2 radiator from another Toyota team. And, the car made it to the finish line first this spring after experiencing a broken clutch in the early stages of the race. “We were forced to keep the car in a single gear for the next 14 hours of racing,” says Neisen, a project engineer with Roadtec Inc. in Chattanooga, Tennessee. “Then, shortly before sunrise, an on-track tire failure meant unplanned emergency repairs, while being extremely sleep deprived. Pulling off the win on a day that didn’t go perfectly felt great.” He adds, “There’s an extra component to our relationships that make on-the-fly problem solving really click within the team. We’ve been friends for a long time, but the great friendships formed at RoseHulman can be hard to maintain after we all follow different career and family paths in different locations. This race team has allowed a group of us to maintain and strengthen those relationships even 15 years later.” Levinson agrees, stating, “We get to catch up on life, drive a race car as fast as we can, inches from 100 other teams, grind through the lows and ride the good times together. Oh, plus, there’s some slick engineering that we get to do, too.” n

Yovanovich, a senior design engineer with Task Force Tips Inc. in Valparaiso, Ind., adds, “We all turn wrenches when the going gets tough...It’s a thrill to compete as we gradually improve our car, our driving techniques and our pit stop efficiency. We’ve done 20 races so far and it never gets old.”

CREATIVE IDEAS

STORY BY ARTHUR FOULKES

VENTURES TRANSFORMING OTHERS’ DREAMS INTO REALITY Entrepreneurs sometimes lack the expertise, know-how and equipment they need to realize their dreams. That’s where Rose-Hulman Ventures —a rapid prototyping and development firm on the south campus—enters the picture. “Ventures really was an oasis for me,” recalls Gage Wilkinson, who worked at Ventures before graduating in 2016 with a degree in mechanical engineering. “It was entirely project- and performance-based. I could just set aside the intensity of schoolwork and have some fun.”

Campus News

CREATIVE IDEAS One word to describe what happens at Ventures is “variety.” Ventures projects run the gamut from simple to complex, short-term to long, and from light consumer products to life-saving medical devices. Something all Ventures projects have in common, however, is they are fueled by entrepreneurial spirit. One recent example was Ventures’ work with So Chatti, an Indianapolis-based gourmet chocolate maker. So Chatti’s founder and president, Matt Rubin, created a dairy-, gluten- and soy-free chocolate after his wife, Sarah, developed a food allergy that kept her from enjoying most ordinary forms of chocolate. Matt and Sarah soon discovered, however, that chocolate packs a bigger taste experience when enjoyed in liquid form. “People are amazed when they experience chocolate [as a liquid],” Rubin says. “We wanted to sell that experience.” But making high-quality liquid chocolate easily available to consumers is not easy. Chocolate is finicky, requiring a specific temperature—about 105 degrees—to remain liquid without harming the taste. And delivering gourmet chocolate on tap requires more than just gravity.

STORY BY ARTHUR FOULKES

The Rubins brought their dilemma to Ventures where project managers and interns got busy running tests, making calculations and assembling the devices necessary to deliver an awesome taste experience to chocolate lovers anywhere. “Their work was very valuable,” Rubin says. “Their team is not afraid to get their hands dirty,” or covered in chocolate, as the case may be. Many Ventures projects involve complicated software development for sophisticated medical equipment, such as its work for Eclipse Orthopaedics, a Warsaw, Indiana-based medical device startup. Eclipse was founded by Rose-Hulman physics and mechanical engineering alumnus David Rich. His idea was to create a low-wattage X-ray device to help physicians repairing large broken bones, such as the upper arm, the shin bone or the thigh bone. In standard treatment, doctors slide titanium rods down through the marrow of the bone, lining up the broken parts and holding them in place for healing. The rods are then secured in place with surgical screws, a delicate and sometimes

difficult procedure. Rich’s idea is to use a small, hand-held X-ray device to help physicians locate the screw’s exact target, making the procedure safer, easier and faster. “This is a well-known problem looking for a solution,” Rich says. The team at Ventures helped Rich by writing software that corrects for image distortion, ensuring what the doctor sees on a computer or tablet screen is actually what is happening inside a patient’s arm or leg. So Chatti and Eclipse are just two of literally dozens of fascinating engineering and computer science challenges tackled by Ventures each year. n For more about what’s happening at Ventures, visit their website at www.rhventures.org.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

Optical Engineering Senior in Spotlight for Headlight Design Senior Audrey Brand has been recognized among the nation’s top optical engineering students for her innovative vehicle headlight project that demonstrates the potential of using freeform optics to achieve precision light patterns, with fewer parts. Brand was one of six award winners in the Synopsys Optical Solutions Group’s 2019 Robert S. Hilbert Memorial Optical Design Competition for excellence in student undergraduate-, graduate- or doctorate-level optical design projects. She is the first Rose-Hulman student to be honored in the contest. The concept was first developed with physics and optical engineering professor Hossein Alisafaee in a new automotive lighting course taught during the 2018-19 school year. The project also earned the grand prize for Brand and three other Rose-Hulman students at the 2018 E2Festa Global Capstone Design Fair in South Korea.

Water Tower Gets a Facelift and a Backside One of Rose-Hulman’s most iconic landmarks, the campus water tower, got a facelift this summer. The institute’s logo was painted on the front side, while a new image, featuring our elephant mascot, Rosie, was placed on the back, welcoming visitors coming to campus from a new northeast side entrance. At the same time, construction began on the new 70,000-square-foot academic building that will go between Moench Hall and Myers Hall on the east side of campus. It is expected to be open for the 2021-22 school year.

Data Science Major Added; Humanities Modifies Name Rose-Hulman changes its curriculum to keep up with today’s fast-paced world. The institute has added a secondary academic major in data science to meet the demands in developing new techniques to store, harness and generate meaningful intelligence that power modern science and industry. The new course of study is offered by departments covering computer science, software engineering and mathematics, but it is available to students in all major courses of study offered by the institute. The interdisciplinary major will provide students with in-depth hands-on experience in data engineering, data analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, “the Arts” has been added to the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences and the Arts to reflect the nearly 20 courses representing the arts, others taught in creative components within the arts and literary arts, and more courses planned for the near future.

We’re a Green Campus For the first time, Rose-Hulman has been recognized for its sustainability efforts, being among a select group of North American environmentally responsible colleges and universities featured in The Princeton Review’s 2019 Guide to Green Colleges. The institute received high marks for its sustainability-focused academic degree offerings, having a campus sustainability committee and greenhouse gas inventory management plan, and for spending 10 percent or more of its food service budget on locally grown or organic food options. In particular, campus student groups have studied reducing food waste and use of plastic straws in dining halls; a sustainability makerspace area has been established; and the Bon Appetit food service’s farm-to-table, made-from-scratch cooking has a local food sourcing guarantee. Rose-Hulman also has been named a Tree Campus the past two years by the Arbor Day Foundation.

Homecoming Royalty—50 Years Later

HOMECOMING Brings Back Memories This year’s Homecoming was attended by more than 1,000 alumni and many more family and friends, along with current students (future alumni). Events included the traditional bonfire, pep rally, football game and class reunions, along with some special new activities that helped create fond memories of their own. A beverage tent featured breweries and wineries with alumni investment or ownership: Brown County Winery, Centerpoint Brewing Company, Huber Winery, Sun King Brewery and Terre Haute Brewing Company.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

Homecoming always conjures special memories for our alumni. Fifty years ago, Joe Swift (ME, 1969) and his date/now wife Cathy Swift joined friends Betsy and Dave Hohlfeldt in being photographed while watching the Homecoming football game. Cathy was the 1969 Homecoming Queen. The four friends came back to recreate the photo at this year’s football game.

Recalling Gridiron Glory Thirty-one years after they played their last game for the Fightin’ Engineers, seniors on the 1988 football team gathered again this fall to recreate their Senior Day photograph–not without a lot of effort. All but one of the original seniors had made plans to return for the Class of 1989 reunion. After contacting the Office of Alumni Relations, they tracked down the missing player, Rusty Rawlings, who had other plans and had not planned to be on hand for the festivities. After some urging, Rusty made it back to Phil Brown Field to make the photograph complete (in the same order from 1988). This senior class had a 25-5 record during its last three seasons.

Celebrating Coed Trailblazers It seems like only yesterday that members of the first incoming class of female students arrived on campus in the fall of 1995. They were trailblazers to coeducation on campus. Now, 20 years after their graduation, they’re still the fun-loving bunch with an unbreakable kinship. They enjoyed the Class of 1999 reunion with other classmates, family and friends.

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HAPPENING

Alumni from different eras share their Rose-Hulman experiences in Tent City (left) while current students made their own Homecoming memories in fun and games during the pep rally (right).

Homecoming has become a family affair, with children of alumni getting cool treats while enjoying Rosieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kid Zone and other activities.

The grandstand was once again filled with alumni, family members and friends that enjoyed this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting football game at renovated Phil Brown Field. Students took advantage of the time to meet old and new friends before the football game.

The bonfire and fireworks were another signature Homecoming event shared by alumni, family members and current students.

PROBLEM SOLVING A BAILEY FAMILY AFFAIR

There were fewer solvers of the summer problems than from those published in the spring issue. I was left to wonder: Was this because the summer issue was online or was that Challenge more difficult than the spring problems? I’m hoping we get back to having many solvers of the following problems.

FALL PRO BLEM 1

FALL PRO BLEM 2

f(x) = 3x-1 and f(f(x) = 0.

During spring vacation, it rained on 13 days. When it rained in the morning, the afternoon was sunny. Every rainy afternoon was preceded by a sunny morning. There were 11 sunny mornings and 12 sunny afternoons. How long was the vacation?

Find x.

FALL BO N US PRO BLEM

Let ABC be a triangle, with DA = 6, DB = 5, DC = 3, and BC = 7. Find CA. B

SUM M ER BO N US SO LUTI O N

The possible dates were May 15, 16 and 19; June 17 and 18; July 14 and 16; August 14, 15 and 17. Albert knows only the month and Bernard only the day. The ordered statements that are needed, by whom and their implications are as follows: Albert says, “Bernard does not know the birthday.” Thus, Bernard now knows that the month is July or August. How else could Bernard know the birthday? Why? Bernard says, “I now know her birthday.” Thus, Albert now knows that her birthday is July 16 or August 15 or August 17. Why? Albert says, “I now know her birthday.” Thus, it must be July 16. Why?

EDITOR’S NOTE: REM EM BERIN G A LO N G -TIM E SO LVER, HAL BROWN I would like to pass along my condolences to the family of faithful Challenge solver Harold (Hal) Brown, a 1957 chemical engineering alumnus who died Sept. 6, 2019, in Dallas, Texas. He began solving the Challenges when they were first introduced to Echoes. “I always looked at who solved them, and a lot of them were familiar names. So, I gave it a try,” said Brown in a Solver’s Profile published in the Spring 2016 issue. “Sometimes the solutions have come quickly, but most of the time I had to think about it,” he said. (See Brown’s featured obit on Page 28.) Send your solutions to Herb.Bailey@rose-hulman.edu or to: Herb Bailey, 8571 Robin Run Way, Avon, IN 46123. Alumni should include their class year. Congratulations to the following solvers of the summer problems: ALUMNI: J. Tindall, 1961; A. Cleek, 1964; D. Moore, 1964; S. Jordan, 1970; D. Hagar, 1972; B. Copus, 1976; T. Greer, 1978; R.

Brown, 1995; J. Przybylinski, 2006; M. Trowbridge, 2008, and M.Yuhas, 2013 FRIENDS: T. Cutaia, J. Ley, B. Perkins, J. Walsh and G. Wight. Congratulations to the following solvers of the spring problems: ALUMNI: J. Moser, 1956; H. Brown, 1957; D. Bailey, 1959; J. Kirk, 1960; J. Ray, 1961; A. Cleek, 1964; S. James, 1965; J. Walter, 1969; S. Jordan, 1970; W. Pelz, 1971; D. Hagar, 1972; P. Kimmerle, 1973; R. Kominiarek, 1973; J. Zumar, 1973; T. Rathz, 1974; P. Eck, 1975; M. Bailey, 1976; B. Hunt, 1976; J. Schroeder, 1976; J. Baynes, 1977; T. Greer, 1978; M. Lancaster, 1978; S. Warner, 1978; M. Clouser, 1979; R. Priem, 1979; J. Slupesky, 1979; R. Joyner, 1980; S. Nolan, 1981; P. Gunn, 1981; M. Taylor, 1981; B. Downs, 1983; B. Greene, 1983; J. Marum, 1983; L, Beckman, 1986; B. Wright, 1986; D. Johnson, 1987; C. Abdnour, 1989; R. Hochstetler, 1991; G. Simons, 1993; M. Pilcher, 1998; F. Heyman, 2007; J. Krall, 2007; D. Schluneker, 2008; M. Schoumacher, 2010; D. Straub, 2010 and L. Evans, 2013.

As a kid, Michael Schoumacher could always count on finding a personalized Bailey Challenge in his birthday card each year. That’s because emeritus math professor and author of the legendary Bailey Challenge, Herb Bailey, is Schoumacher’s grandfather. So, it was natural for Michael to continue solving Bailey Challenge problems as a student. Along the way he found a solving partner, his wife Denise (CHE, 2010), while both were students in Calculus 3. The couple would work together on homework while living in the same residence hall as first-year students. “We’ve been helping each other solve problems ever since. We find we work better that way,” says the 2010 mechanical engineering alumnus. “Rose-Hulman and Grandpa Bailey taught us that there are always problems to solve...I feel right at home when I see (the Challenges) in Echoes. While the Bailey Challenge problems are much harder than the ones I got growing up, my time at Rose sharpened my skills to solve them.” They find Bailey’s cleverly worded algebra problems to offer the grandest challenges and greatest joy in solving. Meanwhile, the couple sometimes finds that the geometry problems are the most challenging. “We’re just happy to get them right!” admits Michael. “The Bailey Challenge helps keep our problem-solving skills sharp, and it’s a favorite part of each magazine. Our whole family works on them together.” The family of problem solvers also includes Michael’s father, Bob, and uncle, Mark Bailey (CHE, 1976). Michael and Denise were married in 2012 and live in Columbus, Indiana, where both work at Cummins Engine. They look forward to the day when their 2-year-old daughter, Ellie, begins tackling problems posed by her great-grandfather. — Dale Long, Executive Editor

Fox Rode a Horse to Campus in Bygone Times Charles R. Fox (CE, 1944) has done a lot of incredible things in his life, including serving on a Navy combat ship in the Korean War, working 40 years as an engineer for Amax Coal Company, working as a consulting engineer, and earning numerous professional and military distinctions. But riding a horse to Rose Polytechnic Institute during World War II may be among his most memorable feats. Gasoline was rationed by the U.S. government during the war. Fox needed to find ways to get to campus from his family’s home in nearby Seelyville. He would hitchhike, walk, bicycle AND ride on the family horse, Rex. The beautiful animal attracted plenty of attention from other students while Fox was in class. “I’d tie him to a tree [in front of Moench Hall] and he’d be wore out [from giving students rides] by the end of the day,” recalls Fox, who lives in Terre Haute. Because of the wartime demand for engineers, Rose Poly operated year-round and on weekends to quickly produce qualified graduates. Fox completed his education in less than three years. A former basketball player, Charles and his wife, Maryella, have traveled overseas with the men’s basketball team on several occasions.

Students letting off steam in creative ways

is a tried and trusted tradition at Rose-Hulman. Imaginative pranks and running grudge matches between sophomores and freshmen were once a normal part of campus life. Today, some of those traditions, such as “laking” and the homecoming bonfire, remain, but others have faded into history. One tradition that flourished in the 1960s and ‘70s was an annual convocation/talent show known as the Rose Riots, in which students performed satirical skits or sang songs poking fun at professors, administrators, and fellow students all while basically pushing the envelope of propriety.

SE RIOTS Colonel Dougherty’s Goon Platoon (right) put the dis in discipline during the 1963 Rose Riots, while Lynn Roberts wears “hillbilly sandals” to put a downhome spin on “Romeo and Juliet” in the same show.

Share Your ‘Rose Memories’ with Others

“Say. Look at him! He’s preeeetty,” exclaims a student in a 1968 skit about a new kid visiting the then-all-male campus. Audio of the full skit was provided to Echoes by 1971 computer science alumnus George Mells.

“I found the edgy and often ‘blue’ skits quite funny,” Mells recalls. “It’s probably because the presenters were so risqué that there was not another Riots during my next three years.”

No one was immune from taunting in a Rose Riots skit, including faculty, staff, ROTC commanders, fraternities, individual students and, especially it seems, humanities classes.

The Rose Rockettes showed their stuff in a scene from the 1963 Rose Riots, captured from the Modulus yearbook.

John Yarish, a 1970 mechanical engineering graduate, performed in the 1968 show as part of a musical group calling itself The Four Skins. The group sang their own renditions of anti-war/anti-establishment songs by The Fugs, a Greenwich Village band achieving notoriety at the time. “Our script was basically a rant mocking the traditions in effect at the time, such as beanies, garters, no corduroys, no beards, etc.,”

Yarish recalls. “We had a ball, but not too many in the audience got it.”

Most years, the Rose Riots were organized by the Blue Key Honor Society and, at least in the 1960s, mostly featured acts performed by freshmen, according to several alumni from that era, including 1971 biological engineering graduate Roger Ward. Ward played the part of “Duncan Snowdoch” in one memorable 1968 routine poking fun at legendary Dean of Admissions Duncan Murdoch. Unlike previous shows, the 1968 Riots featured at least one all-faculty performance.

Skits from the popular 1963 Rose Riots included Colonel Dougherty’s Goon Platoon, the Rose Rockettes, and a downhome rendition of Romeo and Juliet written and performed by Kentucky-native Lynn Roberts. “At our 55th class reunion, some of my classmates were still chuckling over that performance,” says Roberts, a 1963 chemical engineering alumnus. Another memorable Rose Riots performance was a guitar ballad performed by conjoined twins played by 1978 alumni Randy Parrish and Chris Hebb.

“I don’t know who came up with the idea of being conjoined twins, but we both played my guitar. Chris strummed and I did the chords on the fret board,” Parrish recalls, noting the most popular acts that year received awards. “Needless to say, we didn’t win. But it is a great memory for me.” n

Alumni have cherished memories of campus events, activities and, yes, even hijinks that Rose-Hulman’s archives would like to share with others for posterity, hilarity and general interest. A special “Rose Memories” digital repository has been created for you to share images from your time at Dear Old Rose.

Submit digital images at www.rose-hulman.edu/rosememories. The goal is to enhance the institute’s archives with the photo memories of such things as campus life, athletics, study abroad and academics—all the things that make Rose such a special place. One area with a lack of archival images is club activities, especially since the Modulus yearbook hasn’t been published since 2012. If possible, please identify all of the individuals pictured. Also make sure you have gained permission from people in the photos. Privacy concerns will be taken into account before any image is made available for public viewing. Associate Librarian Ryan Roberts will review all submitted images. Alumni also can relive their times on campus by viewing past issues of Rose-Hulman’s student newspaper, yearbook and magazine online at: Rose Thorn Newspaper (1971-current): www.rose-hulman.edu/rosethorn. Modulus Yearbook (1892-2012): www.rose-hulman.edu/modulus. (Note: not all years had yearbooks) Technic Magazine (1891-1971): www.rose-hulman.edu/technic.

CLASS NOTES

In Memoriam Bob Steinhauser Was a Teacher’s Teacher, Honored Alumnus Cherished Department of Mechanical Engineering leader and professor Robert (Bob) Steinhauser, 86, died Sept. 29, 2019, in his hometown of Terre Haute. He was a faculty member at his alma mater for 41 years (1957 until 1998), is the only professor to earn the institute’s outstanding educator award four times, was ME department head for most of his faculty tenure, and the Herman A. Moench Distinguished Professor from 1980 until 1989. He also received an honorary degree in 1998 and the Alumni Association’s Honor Alumnus Award in 1987. Professionally, Steinhauser lent his engineering expertise to several consulting assignments and participated in engineering-related investigations for insurance underwriters.

Hal Brown Always Scored Points for Dear Old Rose This holiday season won’t seem the same for many Rose-Hulman officials, who welcomed annual telephone greetings from emeritus trustee Harold (Hal) D. Brown, Jr. (CHE, 1957; HD, 2000). He died Sept. 6, 2019, at age 84 in Dallas, Texas. He was a former basketball player, Dallas Rose Tech Club officer and member of the Commission on the Future of Rose-Hulman. Professionally, Brown held administrative roles with several companies, including Dow Chemical Company, American Magnesium Company, and Dixie Lime and Stone Company, along with helping the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency draft reformulated gasoline rules and regulations. His family asks that donations on Hal’s behalf be made to the Class of 1957 Scholarship Fund at www.rose-hulman.edu/give.

Margaret Ying Was Part of Special Campus Family Part of what makes Rose-Hulman such a special place is the long-held belief that everyone on campus is considered a valued educator. That was particularly true of former librarian Margaret Ying, 85, who died June 3, 2019, in Seattle, Washington. She earned the President’s Outstanding Service Award in 1994. Margaret’s beloved husband, John, was a longtime economics professor. Both cared about students and their faculty and staff colleagues, and hosted many social events in their home. Margaret’s beautiful voice graced church congregations and choirs, and she was a soloist for special events, most recently the 2014 National Taiwanese Conference in Seattle. A memorial service is planned Nov. 16 at 2 p.m. in the Bethany United Church of Christ in Seattle. Memorial gifts may be made to Rose-Hulman’s John T. and Margaret C. Ying Scholarship Fund.

EVERY GIFT MATTERS

Reaching for the Top I was inspired to read recently about a civil engineering major with Type-1 diabetes who climbed four mountains—including the tallest peaks in Africa and Europe— in a single summer. Matt Robinson’s achievement is just one of the inspiring stories you’ll find anywhere you look on the Rose-Hulman campus. Every student here has a story to tell and a mountain to climb. The hard work and determination needed to succeed at Rose-Hulman is one reason we continue to be ranked among the best STEM colleges and universities in the U.S. In addition to offering a rigorous curriculum, we strive to give our students the personal attention they need to succeed. That’s why our faculty are not just experts in their fields but also dedicated educators. None of this is easy or inexpensive. That is why we are so grateful to our alumni and friends who remember Rose-Hulman with financial support. Everyone who contributes is making a real difference in the lives of our students and ensuring the continued success of the institute well into the future. We are now more than a year into the public phase of our Mission Driven campaign to raise $250 million by the end of 2020. Today, I’m pleased to report we have raised more than $180 million, bringing us just over 70 percent of the way toward our goal. Mission Driven comprises three primary goals: • Fund scholarships to improve affordability, accessibility and student achievement • Strengthen our endowment to support faculty positions, global study, student competition teams and other programs • Improve our facilities by constructing new spaces for collaboration, discovery and innovation Each of these goals is key to the institute remaining a leader in STEM education in the U.S. and around the world. I hope you join me in supporting this campaign. To learn how you can help, please contact me at brady1@rose-hulman.edu or 812-877-8784. I look forward to working with you as we strive to ensure our students have the support they need to reach the highest peaks.

A New Addition Linda and Mike Mussallem have contributed greatly to the quality of campus life through gifts that have expanded the student union, renamed the Mussallem Union (affectionately nicknamed “The Muzz”), to honor the couple’s generosity, and added a new pavilion, which opened for student use this fall. Through their philanthropic gifts, Linda and Mike wished to create campus spaces that promoted a better quality of life, stronger relationships and healthier food options. Sustainability also is a big part of both projects with a living wall in The Muzz’s living room and a living roof on top of the pavilion. Mike is a 1974 chemical engineering alumnus who is chairman and chief executive officer of Irvine, California-based Edwards Lifesciences.

Watch a time lapse video of the pavilion’s construction at www.rose-hulman.edu/pavilioninmotion.

Innovation Inspiration Richard Kremer never forgot the caring faculty and staff members whose contributions helped him earn a chemical engineering degree from Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1958. That’s why he and his wife, Shirley, provided a generous financial gift to support the establishment of the Kremer Innovation Center on campus. The 13,800-square-foot building, dedicated last spring, is providing opportunities for students to enhance their hands-on, collaborative educational experiences through fabrication equipment, 3D printers, wind tunnels, a makerspace, and classrooms for the new engineering design program. Richard Kremer is the founding owner of FutureX Industries Inc., a plastics manufacturing company in Bloomingdale, Ind.

Learn more about the Kremer and Branam Innovation Centers at www.rose-hulman.edu/innovationcenters.

The Future is Underway Construction of the new $29 million, 70,000-square-foot academic building on campus achieved a significant milestone this fall when one of the final steel beams was raised and attached to the project. An architectural rendering shows how the building will look upon completion for the 2021-22 school year. The building is being supported through a $15 million lead gift from an anonymous donor as part of Rose-Hulman’s Mission Driven campaign.

Helping Dreams Come True Donald Carrell remembers how hard it was to afford Rose Polytechnic Institute’s tuition in the mid-1950s. After concluding a successful career in engineering and management in aerospace and medical industries, he made a significant contribution to the Class of 1957’s scholarship fund, which helps current students to realize their higher education aspirations.

Helping the Next Generation

Members of the Class of 1957 have established one of the largest class scholarships, awarding more than $102,000 to students. These scholarships are invaluable for our students to attend the college. Several 1957 graduates returned this fall to enjoy Homecoming and the opportunity to reminisce about their days on campus.

Mission Driven Hits Milestone

There were plenty of reasons to celebrate—175 million to be exact— last spring when the Mission Driven Campaign for Rose-Hulman surpassed the $175 million threshold of its $250 million fundraising efforts to support scholarships, increase the institute’s endowment and build new spaces to encourage collaboration, discovery and innovation. Learn more at rosedriven.com.

The Shack Lounge Joe Wendel has honored fellow 1995 classmate Brian Shattuck by underwriting the costs of a student lounge area in the middle of the second floor of the Mussallem Student Union. The space was dedicated earlier this fall.

Start Your Engines Members of the Trueblood and Trobaugh families helped cut the ribbon during Homecoming to open the new engine testing laboratory in the Branam Innovation Center. Thanks to their generosity, along with others’, the lab was moved from the Rotz Laboratory in order to have expanded, improved space and be closer to student competition teams.

The Grass is Greener Rose-Hulman and its football team stepped up their games this fall with the installation of a new synthetic turf field at Cook Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; thanks to the contributions of several alumni members within the Varsity R Club and Athletic Endowment. The improved playing surface will keep the athletic program competitive with its NCAA Division III peers, provide more flexibility for team practices, and could be used for other varsity athletic practices, intramurals and academic activities year-round.

Watch a time lapse video of the football turfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installation at www.rose-hulman.edu/newturf.
