From plant to final product, students at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology are rolling up their sleeves in the school’s first semester offering of a food chemistry course. On this week’s episode of the podcast, Gerry Dick with Inside INdiana Business is joined by Luanne Tilstra of Rose-Hulman to talk about the course’s popularity, the curriculum and how this offering applies to the every day life of a college student who wants to work in STEM upon graduation.

Luanne also talks about her role in the launch of The Center for Diversity and Inclusion, actively promoting diversity on campus and how far Rose-Hulman has come since she started as a professor in 1992 – before the school was co-ed.
