Olin College embraced the past year of challenge and transition with creativity and resourcefulnessβqualities Olin has demonstrated repeatedly on its way to becoming recognized as one of the top engineering schools in the country, and indeed the world. We celebrated the highly successful tenure of βEmployee #1,β long-time President Richard K. Miller; first in person, during a campus celebration in early February, and then virtually when Rick shared βlessons learnedβ from his distinguished career with an audience of over 300 online in early June. We welcomed new President Gilda A. Barabino to Olin; first with a live community announcement via Zoom, then in a series of virtual βchatsβ with hundreds of Oliners during April, May and June, and, finally, in person on July 1, a day complete with a socially-distanced car parade, and community member-created βchalk artβ decorating the Oval to commemorate her arrival. With the decision pending regarding how Olin would approach the new academic year, President Barabino hit the ground running in July. She demonstrated strong leadership and vision in navigating the many issues facing the community and the College in order to determine how best to move βOlin Aheadβ in 2020-21. Despite the unprecedented and continuing disruption caused by COVID-19, the vitality of Olinβs educational mission remains undiminished. In these pages, you will read about Bennett Chabot β09, who is working on the leading edge of sustainable energy research, and assistant professor of mechanical engineering Emily Tow, whose research focuses on solving the worldβs water shortage. You will also learn how support from corporate partners such as Blue Cross Blue Shield allowed students and faculty to work with local community groups on air quality research, and how the Walton Foundation funded important community-based hands-on engagement for young adults in Mississippi. Itβs also important to recall that following the senseless killing of George Floyd, and the profound sense of outrage and despair over systemic racism that prompted widespread protests across the nation in May, then-President Miller and President-designate Barabino issued a joint statement to the

Olin community. Calling for a deeper commitment to social justice, they asked us to stand together and support each other, now and in the future. They urged all members of the community to learn more about the root causes of racism in America and reminded us all that one of Olinβs core values calls on us to βDo Somethingβ when we see something that is wrong. With all that society endured the past year, the stakes for colleges and universities have never been higher, and their contributions toward solving the worldβs problems perhaps never more important. Olinβs commitment to providing a highly innovative and exceptional undergraduate engineering education, and sharing what we do with the world, is unwavering. And the Collegeβs determination to renew and strengthen its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and sustainability continues. Joining together as a community and tapping the skills and mindsets that are at the heart of an Olin education, weβve proven we have the resilience to thrive in even the most challenging times. Now more than ever, I also want to thank you on behalf of the College for your support. With many organizations and initiatives competing for your attention, the commitment and generosity you demonstrate to Olin through your donations of both time and money are greatly appreciated. The impact of COVID-19 on the Collegeβs finances means your support has never been more important, and Olin remains committed to stewarding your contributions in ways that will make you proud. With President Barabino leading the way, we will look to the future and embark on defining how Olin will continue to be an important and constant contributor to the advancement of education, and to the betterment of society more broadly. We hope you will continue to be part of this important work. With much gratitude for your support,
Ken Stokes Pβ12 Chair, Olin College Board of Trustees

are inspired by the stories of enthusiasm for our institution and see in yourself the same dedication to our shared purpose as do the hundreds of alumni, parents, families, friends and corporate partners who made Olin a priority this year. The challenges we choose to solve together are invariably about people and how the tools and resources of engineering innovation can improve their lives. When Oliners are confronted with a challenge, we rally together to support each other and create solutions. Together, we have come a long way this year and worked tirelessly and collaboratively to grow Olin as the kind of engineering college the world needs. I will never cease to be proud of your desire to do good. I am not surprised by your ability to do amazing things.
Thank you for your continued love for and support of Olin this year. Sincerely,
Beth Kramer VP of Advancement

As many of you know, I arrived at Olin in 2019 at an inflection point in Olinβs young historyβcelebrating 20 years of Olin College, preparing to say goodbye to our longtime president, Richard K. Miller, and undergoing a thoroughly unique Olin process to identify and welcome our next president, Gilda A. Barabino. I was drawn to this community because of Olinβs values. I learned quickly that our wonderful community is full of surprises and enormous reserves of resilience. What nobody could have expected at the start of the 20192020 academic year was that Olin, along with the rest of the globe, would encounter the threat of COVID-19. And despite the pandemicβs sobering implications for worldwide public health, Olin found a remarkable opportunity for growth and innovation. In the transition to remote learning and social distancing, many of us experienced the strength of our community in new and unexpected ways. Oliners never cease to amaze me with their ingenuity and delight in tackling any challenge, no matter the size. Just this year, we kicked off the Olin 20/20 celebration; rallied together to demand and create change for transgender student support; planned and held a fauxmencement; transitioned to remote learning; said goodbye to longtime President Richard K. Miller; welcomed new President Gilda Barabino; raised funds for the Shopβs PPE fabrication campaign; sewed hundreds of masks for coworkers and loved ones; created and funded Olinβs first-ever Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Fund; participated in Pathways planning; and forged a new path, Olin Ahead, for 2020-2021. In the pages of this Annual Report, you will see the power of philanthropy and of community at work at Olin. I hope you

OLIN 20/20
AT-A-
OLIN 20/20 Olin 20/20 was an opportunity for the Olin community to come together and celebrate what makes Olin so special. With the launch of Olinβs first presidential search, it was clear that the next few years would be an important chapter in Olinβs history. This period was an opportunity for us to peer into the future, envision possibilities for Olinβs future and imagine, Whatβs next? It was a way to embrace this time of transition and use it to move forward and challenge ourselves.
A year of Olin 20/20 experimentation has reinforced the idea that separate from Olinβs success in the world, what truly makes Olin, Olin is that we care about our community and the consequences of the problems we choose to solve. Olin is determined to strengthen its commitment to doing good in the world by building on our innovative and respected undergraduate program in engineering and committing to our next audacious goal together.
September 20 β At a series of fall events, Olin alumni played Olin Legends, a game designed by students to foster conversations and storytelling between alumni and current Oliners.
October 17 β A special Presidentβs Council meeting featured an interview with Olin Trustee and Founding Chair, Larry Milas, who was the driving force behind the creation of Olin College.
Olin 20/20 Timeline September 6 β Olin 20/20 kicked off with a bagel breakfast. Students, faculty and staff were invited to contribute to an Olin 20/20 timeline. Mark Somerville, Dean of Faculty, and AnneMarie Dorning, Associate VP of Marketing and Communication provided an outlook on Olin 20/20 and of course, everyone ate bagels.
OLIN annual report
Throughout the year, faculty, staff and alumni met in a series of events, from informal coffees to lengthier faculty talks. These events ranged from an Alum Night Out in Boston to a faculty and staff visit to San Francisco where Professor Dave Barrett visited with companies and hosted an Alum Night Out. Professor Jessica Townsend attended an Alumni & Friends Event in Seattle, Professor Caitrin Lynch met up with alumni in Colorado and Professor Lynn Andrea Stein visited alumni in New York City.
BUILD WEEK BUILDS COMMUNITY
January 12 β Forty Olin students returned to campus early from Winter Break for Olinβs first Build Week. Modeled after Build Days of Olinβs past, this student-initiated week inspired reflection and discussion on the past 20 years of Olinβs history as well as opportunities to participate in campus betterment projects.
creating a trail map for Parcel B; cleaning stockrooms and creating a marketplace; updating access symbols and logos; making a plan for community lottery lunches; troubleshooting and fixing the solar panels in the garden; designing and screen-printing Build Week T-shirts. Mark Somerville, interim provost and dean of faculty and professor of electrical engineering, kicked off the week with a welcome and remarks about Olinβs past and the transformative effects the experience of building a college has had on the lives of Olin alumni. βThe best education is one thatβs about learning as you go,β said Somerville. βItβs about the idea that creating together and having that creation of value happening at the same time as the learningβhaving those two things be mutually reinforcingβthatβs the sweet spot. Thatβs whatβs special about Olin.β
January 24 β At βMark My Words,β Mark Somerville stated that Olin was built with audacious intentions βwith marching orders not just to be another college but instead to be an important and constant contributor to driving change in engineering education throughout the world.β February 5 β The entire on-campus community gathered for a festive celebration of Olin President Rick Millerβs 21-year tenure. The celebration was a poignant moment in the final months of the academic year as Olin prepared to say farewell to President Miller in June.
March 26 β Dr. Gilda Barabino was announced as Olinβs next president. Students, faculty and staff eagerly waited on a Zoom call for the news to go live. Dr. Barabino expressed confidence in Olinβs future with a message to the Olin community, βOlin is a truly remarkable place, and I know we can work together to write the next chapter of Olinβs history.β

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW During an unprecedented year with operations severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Olinβs office of financial affairs reported a stable performance for the College in the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
The Collegeβs total assets ended the year at $461,193,000, including Olinβs endowment, which achieved a positive return for the year of 1.6%, despite the volatile markets brought on by COVID-19. Olin achieved these results through the generosity of its donors, sound investment performance and solid stewardship of its resources. C O V I D - 1 9 I M PA C T
The fiscal year ending on June 30, 2020 (FY20) started off like any other year, and the financial results likely would have been similar to other recent years had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic that hit in March 2020. When it became apparent that the campus needed to be closed for health and safety reasons, Olin acted quickly to redirect resources toward supporting remote operations. Financial costs related to the pandemic for FY20 included the following: $ in millions Student reimbursements for housing and dining......1.3 Other incremental cost...............................................0.2 Other forgone revenues..............................................0.1 Emergency grants to students...................................0.1 Total .............................................................................1.7 These costs and forgone revenues were funded through a supplemental draw from the Collegeβs endowment and $0.5M in CARES Act funds that were received from the Department of Education through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. In addition, the College leadership team took early, swift and decisive action to mitigate the financial impact of the pandemic and realized $0.8M in savings from reductions in discretionary spending, a hiring freeze and reduced costs from the campus closure.

As evidenced by the balance sheet, the Olin endowment is the primary financial engine behind the CollegeΓ’€™s budget. The endowment typically provides just over 50% of the funds needed to provide an Olin education. The endowment draw rose in FY20 because of the unexpected need to refund room and board charges after the campus was closed in March.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Due to the incremental expenses and forgone revenue associated with the campus closure during the pandemic, Olin withdrew an additional $1.3M from the endowment, bringing the endowment spending rate to 6.26% for the year ending June 30, 2020. Through a combination of investment strategy and prudent payout policy, the College strives to provide a reasonably consistent payout from the endowment to support operations, while preserving the purchasing power of the endowment and ensuring that the endowment can support the College in perpetuity. Despite the volatile markets in 2020, the endowment achieved a positive return for FY20. Earnings for the fiscal year were 1.6%.

OLIN annual report
Olin is committed to providing an affordable education for all our students. Olin meets full demonstrated need (less a student contribution) for all eligible students. After the campus closure in March, Olin refunded all students who vacated campus their full room and board charges for the remainder of the semester. Unlike many colleges, Olin did not reduce financial aid awards when the charges were refunded. This resulted in larger refunds for our students, because we thought it was the right thing to do. In addition, 100% of Olin students receive a merit scholarship for 50% of tuition. In FY20, 165 students were awarded need-based financial aid in addition to the merit scholarship. One of the Collegeβs highest priorities is to remain affordable and accessible to all admitted students, regardless of their financial circumstances.

A C E L E B R AT I O N O F R I C K M I L L E R
The entire on-campus community gathered in the dining hall for a festive celebration of Olin President Richard K. Millerβs 21-year tenure. The event featured heartfelt tributes, a trivia game, cannoli, an original a capella song and an 18-foot sticky note mural of President Miller himself. The celebration was a poignant moment in the final months of the academic year as Olin prepared to say farewell to President Miller in June. Speakers representing all corners of the Olin community shared what Rickβs leadership and support have meant to them throughout the years. Ben Hill β07, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, tried to put everyoneβs feelings into words. βHis legacy is secure as part of Olinβs DNA,β he said. βTo look at a hole in the ground and say to yourself βI can build something here no one has ever seen before,β and then actually deliver on that promise to create a world-class institution over two decades, requires a special kind of bravery.β In a touching moment, President Miller took to the stage and addressed the crowd. βI can never thank you enough for your kind recognition, although I know that we made it here today because of you, not me,β he said. βNone of us could ever have imagined that Olin would become the global beacon for educational innovation that it is todayβand the special community of thought leaders, risktakers and brilliant pioneers that it is now. You have exceeded my expectations in every dimension, and by orders of magnitudeβTHANK YOUβI am so proud of you!β
THE RICHARD K. MILLER PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP
On June 1, 2020, the Olin College Board of Trustees announced the renaming of the Academic Center to the Richard K. Miller Academic Center.
OLIN annual report
While Olin prepared to say thank you to President Rick Miller in the spring of 2020, Board Chair Ken Stokes Pβ12 wrote in a letter to Trustees, βAs someone said at Rickβs on-campus celebration on February 5th, it takes a special kind of person to look at a hole in the ground and say, I can build something here that no one has ever seen before. It takes a special kind of person to actually deliver on that promise to create a world-class institution.β To honor Rickβs legacy as longtime president, Olin established the Richard K. Miller Presidential Scholarship to provide need-based financial aid to students at Olin, with a special preference for students who are the first in their immediate family to attend college. Gifts to this fund will support Olinβs commitment to ensuring access to the transformational experience of an Olin education. This scholarship will honor Rickβs legacy and help ensure that the next generation of Olin students will never be held back by financial hardship. βI hope this scholarship will make it possible for students to dream much larger dreams than they would have before, to make a difference in the world with their lives,β said President Miller. βI hope this will make it possible for students to realize that it doesnβt matter how you grew up or how much money your family had, that no matter who you are if you have the right ideas and the right determination you can make an impact on the world.β Over 150 faculty, staff, alumni, parents and friends generously made the scholarship a reality. Longtime friend and fellow academic visionary Claudio Haddad, founder and former president of Insper, was eager to make an early leadership gift to the fund. βOlin taught us how to be different, how to be more effective in teaching engineers. The first time I visited, I could see the studentsβ enthusiasm, the brightness in their eyes,β says Haddad. βRick is a great guy, an exceptional educator and innovator. I am very grateful to Rick for having been able to partake in his ideas and methods at Olin and bring them to Insper. I was very happy to be able to participate in this initiative to honor him.β To date, donors have given $1.2 million to the Richard K. Miller Presidential Scholarship .

COVID Response Repurposing commencement Students pull off a gowns to fight the pandemic βfauxmencementβ ceremony

Over the past two years, Olin seniors have left behind their polyester, disposable graduation gowns for reuse, in order to help mitigate the environmental impact of one-time-use gowns. Some of these gowns were distributed to other students to use the black fabric for various projects. Others were used as an educational tool in Olinβs Environmental Consulting at Olin (ECO), in which students identified graduation gowns as the subject of a two-week mini project to identify ways to reduce Olinβs greenhouse gas emissions. Through an Olin community-wide effort, 70 Olin gowns were washed, cleaned and upcycled via theβ―Gowns4Good project, a national effort that donated gowns to medical workers in need of personal protective equipment. At the direction of this nonprofit group, the gowns were delivered to a local healthcare facility, Medway Country Manor, for caregivers to use as protection from the virus.

Like true engineers, the Class of 2020 showed their resourcefulness by quickly cobbling together a graduation ceremony before the sudden campus shutdown in March. Less than 48 hours after the decision was made to finish the semester online, students, staff and faculty banded together to pull off a last-minute outdoor ceremony. Dressed in a lively mixture of regaliaβsome crafted from black trash bags, others sporting origami mortarboards and colorful yarn tasselsβthe seniors proceeded through a throng of cheering and bubble-blowing students, faculty and staff to receive faux diplomas.
Quality masks for caregivers and youth The Shop staff fabricated 400 face shields, designed with help from Olin adjunct faculty member Elizabeth Johansen. They didnβt want to stop there, so they conducted a crowdfunding campaign with the goal of raising $10,000 to make another 2,000 face shields. Over 100 donors contributed even more than the $10,000 needed. This allowed the Shop to buy two additional 3D printers and more printing materials to create the 2,000 shields. At the same time, professors with a penchant for sewing organized a group of students, faculty, staff, neighbors and friends to design and create fabric masks. Professors Caitrin Lynch and Emily Tow led an effort to make and distribute more than 500 cloth masks. About 250 went to essential workers at Olin and their families, neurodiverse students and people of the Navajo Nation. And 277 went to preschoolers at the East Boston Social Centers. This childcare organization serves families who have been hit hard by COVID-19 and its associated economic hardships, namely immigrants and service workers in lower-income communities. βThere were massive mask-sewing efforts going on in areas like Needham, so I wanted to reach people that didnβt already have that kind of big-town effort to support them,β says Lynch. A few days after Olin closed, Lynch borrowed all 12 sewing machines on campus and distributed them. She drew on her relationship with Draper Knitting in Canton, which donated fabric and tested different fabrics in their in-house lab. Lynch and Tow conducted makeshift βuser researchβ with teachers, parentsβeven neighborsβ kidsβto design sturdy, washable masks that teachers could easily put on and take off and that preschoolers would wear. They mailed out kits with materials, a pattern designed by Tow and sewing instructions for the preschooler masks based on this user feedback. As a result, the East Boston Social Centers had enough for two masks per child for their preschoolers. And they had a fun first-day activity lined up: mask decorating with fabric markers.

Youth education and self-empowerment in the Mississippi Delta

Clarksdale, Mississippi, has had an outsized cultural influence on the world through the artists it has produced or shaped, from Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, W.C. Handy and Tennessee Williams, to Sam Cooke and Ike Turner. Today, the rural city of 24,000 people is trying to chart a path forward that celebrates its accomplishments and wrestles free of its long history of race-based social and economic exclusion, poorly rated schools and generational poverty. Bridney Skipper, director of the Shifting Rhythms program, is one of the homegrown leaders working to build a better today and a more prosperous future. Shifting Rhythms is an out-of-school enrichment program for 9-to-15-year olds with a focus on creative self-expression through technology, arts and entrepreneurship. βOur kids are excited to have fun in a way that they usually donβt in school but also to think about a plan for themselves,β says Skipper. βNobody wants to have to leave home in order to succeedβthey want to stay here, do well and make their own community better all at the same time.β Shifting Rhythms has been collaboratively developed over a four-year period by local teens and educators alongside successive student-led teams from the Affordable Design & Entrepreneurship (ADE)β―program. ADE brings together students and faculty from Olin, Babson College and Wellesley College to work directly with community partners to tackle complex social problems. Since launching programming in March 2018, Skipper and ADE students have piloted dozens of curriculum modules and different delivery modes, including a mobile workspace that allows activities to happen at sites throughout the county. Participants access technologies not readily available in local schools, from 3D printers and laser cutters to virtual reality headsets and design software. Modules include designing and building solar-powered cars, drafting a dream house and exploring it in virtual reality, and planning a business. The ultimate goal is for these experiences to promote creativity, self-efficacy and self-confidence among the participants. Shifting Rhythms has been funded through pitch competitions, proposals prepared by ADE students and donations from ADE team alumni. Funds have been used to hire local, part-time staff to deliver programming and to provide free project materials to more than 750 participants. For the second year in a row, the Walton Family Foundation has awarded a generous grant to support the program. The latest grant of $167,000 will allow continued development and testing of the curriculum and, COVID-19 permitting, enable students to travel to Mississippi during the academic year and be placed in-residence there over the summer. This final pilot phase is a step toward responsibly launching a full after-school and summer program for students. βThe Walton Family Foundation believes every child should have the opportunity to receive a great education,β says Kim Davis, senior program officer at the Walton Family Foundation. βShifting Rhythms is providing that, through innovative programming that helps youth develop new skills and selfexpression.β

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

P R O G R A M P RO F I L E
Stephanie Milton, Olinβs new Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Title IX Coordinator, arrived at Olin in January 2020. Since then, she has been working with students, faculty and staff in her dual role in Olinβs DEI and Title IX spaces. One of the wonderful things to come from the increased visibility of Miltonβs role is an increased campus awareness of the important work ahead for the entire community. To that end, the Class of 2020 created Olinβs new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Fund as their class gift. The classβ original fundraising goal was to grow the fund to $3,000; the Olin communityβand Miltonβwas delighted when the total climbed first to $7,000, then to over $21,000! βI am truly grateful to be a partner in this area of support at Olin,β said Milton. βThis is truly a gift.β Milton is planning to use the funds to support three key areas: student professional development, campus programming that amplifies minoritized voices in STEAM, and expanding scholarship opportunities. Each year, Olin sends students to attend, among other events, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) national and regional conferences. In 2019-2020, four students attended NSBE conferences and six traveled to the SHPE meeting. In 2020-2021, although these events will be run virtually, eight Olin students will attend NSBE and four are registered for SHPE. Milton is also exploring opportunities to expand Olinβs engineering affinity group associations.
βDiversity is key to creating a community with different thoughts and backgrounds. Creating a DEI fund will help support that diversity and encourage our community to value it as a key contributor to the richness of our school,β said Emily Lepert β20, one of the class gift organizers. βNow more than ever, we need to create an inclusionary environment and promote diverse people and ideas. The best engineers are the ones who search out people who are unlike them because they know that theβ―ideasβ―they come up with together will be better than the ones they would have made alone.β βThroughout my time at Olin, I have witnessed remarkable efforts championed by student organizations like MIX [Olinβs affinity group for students of color] and OPEN [Olin and Babsonβs gay-straight alliance], by faculty who lead challenging, critical discussions in classrooms, by staff members who create spaces for cultural expression and care, that have nourished my academic and personal growth,β said Athmika Senthilkumar β20, another class gift coordinator. βI believe the DEI fund can validate and encourage those victories and struggles of our community as we grapple with issues of equity, identity and justice. We canβt strive towards collective liberation until there is no one dominant engineering culture, but a community of folks who deeply care about each otherβs self-expression and wellbeing, in a fight for equity that goes beyond our five buildings.β

These experiences wouldnβt have happened had it not been for Hortonβs first move as a new graduate. Because of Olinβs scholarship, Horton was able to explore his personal interests and could wait to take on an engineering job that was in line with his values. He followed his passion for traveling and for hands-on mechanical work and took a job as an assistant at an Antarctic power plant that supplied heat and electricity to the McMurdo research station. He credits this experience in industryβshoveling snow, running generators and closely helping electricians, carpenters and plumbersβto much of his future success and happiness. βWe were all given an amazing gift with the scholarship, and I want to give other students that gift so they can do something that excites them with less burden of debt,β he says. βI wouldnβt be who I am without Olin,β says Horton. βOlinβs culture encouraged me to take risks and to try to do great things.β

Adam Horton has been in inventive, startup-like environments since he was 18. It started in βPartner Yearβ, when he joined 20 faculty and 29 other students for the yearlong project to create the Olin curriculum and imagine its culture. Horton was adept at the learn-as-you-build-it approach that has defined Olin from the start. Heβd been doing these kinds of projects since he was a kid: helping build a town playground at age 4, pitching in to build his familyβs house, bringing a cheap Volkswagen home on a trailer to see if he could make it work. In high school, Horton became keenly interested in student government. He got to put this interest to use during Partner Year by helping write the first Olin student government constitution. Horton enrolled as a member of the first Olin class and βOlin partnerβ in 2001. The start to the classβ college experience challenged all of them to adapt to the startup sensibilities of creative problem-solving, flexibility and working in ambiguous environments. When they arrived, the campus wasnβt ready, and the partners spent two weeks living out of suitcases together at various sites, including nearby Babson College, before moving into dorms. βYou couldnβt have designed a better bonding experience,β says Horton. Since graduating in 2006, Horton has gravitated toward innovative jobs that make an impact. Heβs put his mechanical engineering skills to use at DEKA Research, Tesla Motors, Google Robotics and most recently at Makani, a company that created kites to harness energy from the wind.
