Living Hope
More than 250,000 people died in the tsunami in South Asia last December. Earlier this year, Mohanalakshmi Mohana Rajakumar (2002 MA) and four colleagues traveled to the Shiri Saradha Sakthi Peetam orphanage in southern India to size up the needs of children who lost everything in the Dec. 26 disaster.

Company Man
Jim Owens (1968, 1970 MT, 1973 PHD) worked his way to the top at Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar. As chief executive offi cer, hes stayed true to the nose-to-the-grindstone style he developed in his 33 years with the Fortune 500 company.
