Letter from the President
Greetings, Here at Indiana Tech we are very thankful for a successful fall semester and are eagerly looking forward to an exciting spring. One of the most exciting events of fall 2009 was learning that Indiana Tech had been awarded a $1.3 million grant from the Department of Energy for the “green” renovation of the administration building. We told you a bit about this project in the fall issue of Trends, and you’ll learn more about the environmentally friendly, energy efficient nature of the renovation in this issue. Tech also scored big in athletics, with the men’s soccer team and women’s volleyball team participating in NAIA National Championship tournaments. Also, freshman Alex Stoltie competed at the NAIA National Championship for cross country. Learn more about our student-athletes’ accomplishments in competition and in the classroom on Page 11. Academically, we continue to review our program offerings to see how we can build on our strengths. This spring, we will add a master’s degree in police administration to complement our undergraduate offerings in the Center for Criminal Sciences. With the spring semester underway, plans for the annual Commencement ceremony are well under way. We have a truly winning speaker lined up this year: former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz. As the university continues to grow and thrive, please think about how you can continue to be a part of our success. Contact our alumni office if you’d like to learn about ways to volunteer or give, or just to arrange a tour of all the new facilities on campus. We’d love to have you visit. Sincerely,
Dr. Arthur E. Snyder, President
