Fifty-two campers from the Camp Wethonkitha day camp at the Cole Center Family YMCA
in Kendallville visited the Trine University campus on Wednesday, Aug. 1. The campers
were able to tour campus and eat lunch in the new MTI Center, and saw several demonstrations
related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields during their
time on campus.

Right, Jason Blume, executive director of Innovation One, tells the campus how 3-D printers like those used in Trine’s 3-D printing lab are used to make prototypes.
Isabel Soto, instructor, and her Spanish students have created an ofrenda (decorated altar) honoring Ana Boman, who taught Spanish in Trine University’s Department of Humanities and Communication for 16 years before she passed away last year.
Trine University has launched Dual Advantage, a new program that gives undergraduate students multiple pathways to earn both a bachelor’s degree and an advanced degree in less time than completing both degrees separately.
We celebrate World Occupational Therapy Day on Oct. 27, and if you’re confused about what the profession is, you’re not alone.
