Prof. Rogers has been involved in many scholarly extra-curricular activities at MIT, including running SPUR (Summer Program in Undergraduate Research) for MIT undergraduates, overseeing the math section of RSI (Research Sciences Institute) for advanced high school students, and coaching the MIT Putnam exam team from 1990 to the time of writing (2005). This includes the years 2003, 2004, when MIT won for the first time since 1979. He also runs a seminar called 18.S34: Mathematical Problem Solving at MIT for freshmen.

Prof. Rogers is also known within the MIT undergraduate community for having developed a multivariable calculus course (18.022: Multivariable Calculus with Theory) with the explict goal of providing a firm mathematical foundation for the study of physics. In 2005 he announced that he will no longer be teaching the course himself, but it is likely that it will continue to be taught in a similar manner in the future. Prof. Rogers will be remembered for his witty mathematical comments during lectures as well as his tradition of awarding Leibniz Cookies and Fig Newtons to top performers in his class.
