This started in 1870 as the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. In the 1970's it changed to University of Missouri - Rolla. When the Chancellor figured out Rolla was cranking out more engineers and scientist than MIT - they changed the name to Missouri University of Science and Technology to better reflect the science focus. This University is consistently rated as one of the best value engineering schools in the nation with graduates coming out making high salaries.

Decades ago (1971-4), I was a Bulldog (student) at RHS, member of the Class of 1974. Recently, I…read morereturned to attend the 50th reunion of our class after a half-century absence. Despite my personal trepidation and fifty years suppressed fear, I was delighted that USN Captain (retired) Bob Schwaneke had coordinated the core group which made this momentous gathering possible. I was overwhelmed at the congeniality & love evident as we came together, rekindling old/dormant friendships and memories. I was especially pleased to make contact with one of my primary influences: Social Studies teacher/mentor/wrestling coach BOB STOLZ during a formal dinner. Of course, the only reason for my being in RollaMO-USA was the reunion, highlighted with a tour of the campus. What a changed facility, only for the better! The campus, fifty years ago, occupied a smaller piece of land in the same area, but had since expanded to include all of the land between 10th street/Cedar/7th/8th/Holloway streets. The building itself is probably three or four times the size of the original, which has been incorporated into the current massive structure. Besides the "new" (I don't know exactly when construction of this edifice occurred) imposing/secure building, it is ready to serve this amazing international community throughout the rest of this century and beyond. What I have seen assures me that the (local) taxpayers have definitely invested their money wisely--as ALL communities everywhere should invest in their posterity! Besides acquisition of more land, the construction right now includes space for additional classrooms as the student population grows. To say the least, I'm quite pleased to be a "Bulldog", and know the trajectory is up and forward! Thank you, CAP'N BOB & all‼

As soon as you walk in through the door they tell your Check in instead of " Good Morning, what can I do for you " and then prompt the parent to the iPad and ask if they need helped instead of having a side condensation with another front desk worker . She tells me Check in so I check in as a parent and then she goes you did it wrong ok so which one and she goes the student and then I say in a nice way this is new to me and she goes me too- NO this is where you don't agree instead you say let me help you / let me guide you .. I have not been at a school like this. They need to learn how to Empathize and acknowledge the people who come through the doors. I have work as a customer service and our company has won numerous of awards on j d powers and associates there is a disconnect between the people in the front saying their just a substitute " I asked her a question and she keep saying she is a substitute - I get it let's emphasize a little " I'm sorry I don't have the answer I'm just here replacing someone but let me find out for you " sounds better right?
