Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the nation's first institution for science and technology, has undergone a transformation during the last decade. Rensselaer has constructed leading-edge facilities for biotechnology, the convergence of electronic media and the performing arts, and intercollegiate athletics. Applications to Rensselaer have more than doubled, resulting in increased academic excellence and growing diversity in the recent freshman class. The momentum generated by this transformation has enabled the Institute to improve its ranking among the top fifty national research universities in the United States.
President Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D., has recently appointed Dr. Paul Marthers as the new Vice President for Enrollment. Dr. Marthers has been Dean of Admission at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, since 2002. Dr. Marthers has more than twenty-five years of experience in higher and secondary education. In 2007, The Chronicle of Higher Education selected him as one of "10 admission deans who are shaping their field."
