Giving Thanks

Honor Roll of Donors SUPPORTING OUR WORLD-CHANGERS GIFT RECOGNITION

Every year as we prepare the pages for this Honor Roll of Donors, I am continually awed by the sheer volume of names listed. Each name represents one of our impressive alumni, a devoted parent, a dedicated faculty or staff member, or a proud supporter of Rose-Hulman’s mission. To say we are thankful for that support would be a tremendous understatement.

The generosity of our donors fuels the fire I see in our students every day. Whether they are collaborating on their latest project in the New Academic Building, working with donated tools in the Kremer Innovation Center, or doing summer research with their favorite professor, our students experience the best in STEM education because of your philanthropic gifts.

At Rose-Hulman, we believe that we are educating world-changers. You only need to look at the successful careers of our alumni to know that is true. From working on life-saving medical devices to strengthening cybersecurity to building rockets and spaceships, our graduates are leaving their mark. Not only do they succeed, but they also give back to their alma mater in significant ways. These pages are filled with stories of heartfelt gratitude turning into transformational gifts. I hope they inspire you as much as they do me.

Working in Institutional Advancement is truly a privilege for me. I offer my sincere thanks for each gift we received last year. Regardless of gift size, every dollar is meaningful to our students, faculty and staff.

In a world where the need seems to be ever growing, we greatly appreciate you honoring the value of higher education and the impact it can have. Your investment in our students will pay dividends for years to come.

With much gratitude,

Steven P. Brady
