Sen. Todd Young visited the Trine University campus on Friday, April 12, to receive
updates on all that is happening at Trine and to discuss higher education issues with
university President Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D. The visit was a follow-up to a visit
Brooks made to Young in Washington, D.C., earlier this year. While on campus, Young
toured the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts, Thunder Ice Arena, MTI Center and
Trine innovation 1.
Young was the 2017 Commencement speaker for Trine University, and received an honorary
Doctor of Public Service degree from the university during the ceremony.
