Text Box: Rustum Roy is a Ph.D. alumnus of Penn State who has been on its faculty for 60 years, where he spends summer and fall semesters. He is on the faculty at both Arizona State University and the University of Arizona where he spends the winter semester. He founded Penn State’s Materials Research Laboratory and Science, Technology, and Society (STS) programs, each of which became world leaders in their fields. He is one of the world’s leading materials scientists with four major permanent innovations in materials processing. He has probably received more high honors from his peers, as indicated by his election to the National Academies, not only of the U.S., but of Japan, Sweden, Russia, and India; than anyone in Penn State’s history. Rustum Roy is also an active Christian layman involved lifelong in many new reformation initiatives. He served on the National Council of Churches’ Planning and Strategy Committee in the sixties, and chaired its committee on Science, Technology and the Church, a field in which he remains active today. He served for the early 25 years on the Board of Directors of Kirkridge, the pioneering Protestant retreat center. He works with the Church of the Savior, Washington’s most socially active church, where he preaches occasionally. He was involved in starting the Sycamore Community in State College in the mid-fifties, possibly the longest-lived house-church in the country. Most recently, he has found a confluence of his interests in science and religion, in his active work in the field of Whole Person Healing (a.k.a. Alternative Medicine). He is national Chair of a new not-for-profit, Friends of Health, devoted to serving this explosively growing field. April 14, 2008   vita for general audiences...
