Rose-Hulman Saddened By Loss of President Matt Branam
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology President Matt Branum, seen here leading his students in a homecoming spirit cheer last September, died this morning after a sudden medical emergency in his campus office. He was an alumnus of the institute and its 14th president, starting in 2009.
Having met him personally, I am saddened by the loss of this deeply thoughtful leader in higher education, whose commitment to his students was obvious in his daily interaction with them.
More about President Branum’s passing is on the Rose-Hulman website. His complete bio had just been updated with his input and includes a nice childhood reference about sneaking onto the institute’s grounds to play “Coke-can” football.
