Education edit

In 1963, Gouse earned a Certificate of Study from the University of Poitiers in France, and in 1968 he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown University, majoring in Economics and minoring in education.

Career edit

The Massachusetts Trade Shop School had been founded by Gouse's grandfather, James Gouse, in the 1930s, and his father, Julian Gouse, succeeded his grandfather in running the school in the 1950s. Gouse worked at the Massachusetts Trade Shop School as a laborer in the tool crib for the machine shop in the late 1950s and 1960s.[2]

In 1968, Gouse started at the Rhode Island Trade Shop School and oversaw the initial accreditation of the school by the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools – an organization in which his father was a founding director.

In 1971, Gouse became President[3] of the then New England Technical Institute, which had been founded by Ernest Earle in 1940.[citation needed] The school that Gouse inherited had four programs of study, seventy students and ten employees.

In 1976, Gouse led the effort to change the New England Technical Institute into a not-for-profit degree granting college and renamed it New England Institute of Technology. New England Institute of Technology has over 3,000 students, 35 degree-granting programs of study and 534 employees.
