Kim Wagner, top left, a teacher’s aide at Angola Middle School, attempts to pick out students who moved during a game of “Natural History Museum” Friday morning on the lawn of the Rick L. and Vicki L. James University Center at Trine University. About 250 seventh-graders walked from the middle school to Trine to learn more about the university, college life and preparing for college. The school’s seventh grade takes the field trip annually to the Trine University campus.
When their son Parker received his diploma from Trine University President Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., at this year’s May Commencement, it was a full-circle moment for Stephen and Brooke Pelletier.
Golfers and sponsors at Trine University’s 36th annual Alumni and Friends Golf Outing contributed a record amount for student scholarships, raising $115,000 at the Aug. 7 event.
It may sound like all fun and games, but two Trine University faculty members gave academic presentations during North America’s largest board gaming convention.
