Helping others in your spare time

With students who are, quite frankly, a cut above the average, it's no wonder that a lot of our excess enthusiasm also goes into community service work. Class projects, service organizations and sometimes just simple altruism drive our students to go the extra mile to help those less fortunate.

• Rose-Hulman students put together hundreds of bikes each year for underprivileged youth.
• Some work to better families' lives through Habitat for Humanity projects.
• Our Engineers Without Borders group is part of a multinational organization dedicated to improving life in third-world countries.
• About 10% of the blood donated in this area comes from our students - most of it voluntarily.

And the list goes on and on.
