My 4 years at Rose-Hulman have come to an end. While saying good bye is always hard, it is also an exciting time. This fall my brother, Anthony, will begin at Rose and I will begin work on my Ph.D. at the University of Florida.

As you may know, this spring the Rose-Hulman family suffered a great loss. Matt Branam, the President of Rose-Hulman, passed suddenly on April 20th. As you might see from the picture above, the degrees were issued with Matt’s name. This is a great memorial to his life. In addition to all the degrees, all the seniors wore pins that said “Make it happen. Make it fun.”

In just under a week I head out to Microsoft in Redmond, Washington to work on Xbox this summer.  I will never forget my time at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and I look forward to coming back on homecoming!
