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.
Trine University has received a grant from the Indiana Space Grant Consortium (INSGC) to support students conducting advanced aerospace composite research.
While some consider the number 13 unlucky, for Trine University graduates, it’s evidence of continued excellence.
Ellen Paxton has joined Trine University as assistant vice president of advancement, bringing more than 25 years of experience in fundraising and institutional promotion to the position.
