Rogamus. Latin for “we question” or “we inquire”. All science begins with a question. Why does that happen? How does that happen? What would happen if …? Questioning is the start of the scientific process. RISE is an enterprise dedicated to encouraging students (and adults) to ask questions; questions about their environment, questions about their activities, and questions about themselves and other people. We also endeavor to keep challenging ourselves. How can we improve our service? What can we do differently? How can we help foster a questioning attitude in everyone we serve?
