TUFW is known for three distinctives: Spiritual Formation, Applied Learning, and Community Leadership Development. Spiritual Formation: TUFW is not only about “head learning” but also about your heart. God is invited into classrooms and dorms to help you grow spiritually and, in turn, aid others in their own growth. Many courses include “soul projects,” time spent in reflection on Bible passages relevant to the class. TUFW will give you a prayer journal each year, encouraging you to form a deeper relationship with God both inside and outside the classroom. Applied Learning: At TUFW, you don’t just discuss things . . . you actually do what you’re learning! Career-oriented majors and “hands-on” learning equip you for success. Fort Wayne provides an ideal environment for practical learning as you mentor young children, design a marketing plan for a local business, meet with publishers, or participate in other activities to mold your career. Community Leadership Development: God expects us to do what is right, show compassion, and walk with Him in a way that isn’t self-promoting. This is a campus-wide responsibility! Fort Wayne provides rich opportunities for you to learn from the community and contribute to it, as well. You won’t be isolated in a Christian bubble . . . you’ll serve others and become a leader in the city, in a church, through missions, and right on campus. Founded in 1884, Trine is known for its dedication to providing students with a rigorous, career-focused education, within a safe and friendly environment. Trine offers students more than 35 majors; the most popular majors include engineering, criminal justice, forensics, business, education, and psychology. Students compete in 21 intercollegiate sports and gain leadership experience through extracurricular organizations. Within six months of graduation, more than 90 percent are employed, with salaries above the national average. The Foundry Educational Foundation recently ranked Trine top in the nation for its undergraduate cast metals program. Personal Attention: With a student-to-faculty ratio of fifteen-to-one, professors know their students’ names, making it easy for students to ask questions, collaborate with classmates, discover their interests and talents, clarify their aspirations, and reach for their futures. Practical Education: By combining a quality education with a practical education, Trine prepares students for their futures. Our faculty combines hands-on classroom learning with off-campus experiences—internships, co-ops, study abroad, field experiences—to develop leadership, communication, and professional skills to enhance our graduates’ futures. Heritage of Innovation: As early as 1932, when aeronautical professor Walter S. Burnham built a miniature wind tunnel for display at the Chicago’s World Fair, Trine faculty and alumni have helped drive progress and innovation. Our alumni have been responsible for many advances, such as the first in-dash car radio, military aircraft and radar, radio-controlled cars, the Minuteman ICBM, and the first fax machine. Notable Alumni: Robert Molitor (1942), inventor of Spaulding’s Top-Flite golf ball; Dr. John McKetta (1942), energy advisor to four U.S. Presidents; Ralph Ketner (1939), co-founder of Food Lion grocery stores; Tom Collier (1977), president of Westinghouse Korea; Tim Adams (1972), NASA project manager; and General Lewis Hershey (1912), director of the U.S. Selective Service System under six Presidents, to name just a few. 23 http://fw.taylor.edu http://www.trine.edu http://fw.taylor.edu http://www.trine.edu
