International and teacher education students from Trine University gave presentations
to the first-grade classes at Ryan Park Elementary School taught by Christina Minick,
Julie Witherspoon and Christine Mills on Thursday, Nov. 15. Trine students from Kenya,
Nigeria, Egypt, Japan and Argentina gave presentations, and led craft activities and
games related to their countries. They were joined by Trine mascot Storm and students
from the university’s Franks School of Education. The visit was part of Trine’s celebration
of International Education Week from Nov. 12-16.
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.
