Alumni

Team Rush is a unique team in the fact that many of our former team members often return to our team and help out.  Team RUSH has implemented a policy called the Ten Year Rule. 

The Ten Year Rule:

• Before our students graduate they have to train someone of equal or greater caliber to replace themselves.
• Within ten years of their graduation, they have to give back to the community within the fields of science, math, technology, and engineering.

Some examples of former students returning are James Slemons and Austin Duggan

James Slemons is a sophomore at Kettering University.  James was team captain and a driver his senior year, 2006.  James has taken the knowledge that he has gained through his four years on the team, and used them to become mentor of the Business Team. From helping on Business Team to getting us ready for Open House, James' talent has been a blessing to our team.

Austin Duggan is currently a junior at Kettering, working towards receiving his degree in mechanical engineering. This year, Austin is mentoring the 12 Volt sub-team. Austin has helped Team RUSH during his freshman and junior years at Kettering. He was a three year member of Team RUSH, being the PEP Team Captain all three years. During his senior year on RUSH, Austin was Team Captain, as well as Drive Team Captain during his senior year and Pit Team Captain both sophomore and junior year.

In addition to these two, they are many other alumni who have returned to Team RUSH to pitch in with anything that they can.
