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.
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.
