Last February, IUinois State University began its Sesquicentennial celebration when author and historian David McCullough rook the Braden Auditorium stage during the Founders Day Convocation. On February 14, we will draw the curtain on our 150th year when futurist Ray Kurzweil addresses the Convocation audience. Please consider this my personal invitation for you to attend the culminating event of our Sesq u icen tenn ial. I also want to thank you for participating in IUinois State's yearlong series of educational, cul rural, social and athletic events. Our speakers series brought thousands of people to campus, reaching well beyond our University and local community, to attract visitors from throughout the stare and even surrounding states. We created new partnerships with organizations like the Illinois State Historical Society and strengthened relationships within the Twin Cities and McLean County. We released one Sesquicentennial book, a picro­ rial history, and got a preview of a historical text being written by one of our own distinguished professo rs. Homecoming 2007 was like no ocher, as we welcomed a football stadium full of alumni and friends and celebrated into the night with a red-tie gala, an event that raised more than $50,000 for student scholarships. Perhaps most significantly, as we reflected on our heritage, we also planned our fumre by working together to create the next version of Educating Illinois, our collective vis ion for cl1 e future of Illinois' first public university. I hope yo u have enjoyed our celebration. And although our Sesquicentennial officially concludes on February 14, I hope yo u will continue to be an engaged participant in everything that Illinois Scare University has to offer.

The bill stipulated that the permanent location would be the place that offered the most favorable inducements. Jesse W Fell took up the campaign for Bloomington and obtained financial backing totaling $141,000. Abral1am Lincoln, acting as attorney for the board, drew up the bond guaranteeing the Bloomington citizens would fulfill their financial pledges. Illinois State Normal Universiry was consequently founded as the first public institu­ tion of higher education in the state. Established as a teacher education institution, Illinois State has developed into a multipurpose universiry with degree programs at tl1e bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. The Universiry is one of 12 public universities in Illinois. Its 34 academic departments offer more than 160 programs of study in the Colleges of Applied Science and Technology, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Fine Arts, and the Mennonite College of Nursing. The Graduate School coordinates 39 master's, two specialist, and eight doctoral programs. The Universiry's academic programs are supported by the services and collections of Milner Library, which contains more than 3 million holdings and special collections. Illinois State is accredited by tl1e Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The teacher-preparation programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and are certified by the Illinois State Board of Education. Mennonite College of Nursing is accredited by the National League for Nursing, as well as the North Central Association. In addition, numerous programs hold discipline-based accreditation. The Universiry is also associated with 27 professional agencies, such as the American Psychological Sociery, the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, and the National Atl1letic Training Association. The Universiry enrolls students from throughout Illinois, 49 states, and 67 countries. Students are mentored by faculry members, including numerous teacher-scholars recognized at national and international levels dedicated to superior teaching. Conveniently located in Central Illinois, the Universiry is situated at the intersection of three major interstate highways, as well as along the Chicago- St. Louis railroad corridor. Due to its easy access in a region of strong economic growth and its multidimensional profile, Illinois State is able to respond to the varied needs and interests of its constituents and to contribute ro the development of its students as responsible citizens. In recognition

Hundreds of people, including past University presidents, board members, faculty, support staff, students, and community members contributed rime, creativity, expertise and funding to Illinois State University's year-long Sesquicentennial celebration. The celebration vision was initiated under the direction of Cheryl Young and a concept committee. This vision developed and became a reality in February 2007 with the Founders Day kickoff Volunteers drove rhe heart of the celebration through a wide range of activities, from ralcing the celebration to local senior living centers to tying bows on chairs for the Homecoming gala. Too numerous to mention, all are appreciated and commended for their work on behalf of Illinois State University. The Sesquicentennial Implementation Team coordinated working committees and the daily chores. This group found sponsors for the year, created many of the events and championed the cause throughout the 150th anniversary.

• Ray Kurzweil •

Inventor, entrepreneur, aurhor and futurist, Ray Kurzweil has been called "the restless genius" by the Wall Street Journal. Highly regarded as one of the leading inventors of our time, the New York native developed the flatbed scanner, electric piano and vocabulary speech recognition software. He believes in 20 years, computers will surpass humans in intelligence. At the age of 15, he wrote his first computer program at a summer job, which IBM distributed to researchers. In high school, he created a pattern-recognition software program that analyzed musical pieces of great classical composers, which led to an invitation to appear on the television program, ''I've Got a Secret." While on the show, he performed a piano piece composed by a computer he built. Mr. Kurzweil received a first prize in the International Science Fair that year as well as recognition by the Westinghouse Talent Search, personal congratulations from President Lyndon B. Johnson and the awarding of the National Medal of Technology from President Bill Clinton. During his tenure at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he started a company that used a compurer program, Select College Consulting Program, to match high school students with colleges. He earned his bachelor's degree in computer science and literature at MIT and has been awarded 15 honorary degrees. He has written several books on health, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, techno­ logical singularity and futurism. He has a movie coming our this year, "The Singularity is Near: A True Story About the Future," and he is the subject of a documentary abour his life and ideas called "Transcendent Man."

4 2008 Distinguished Professor

The Distinguished Professor appointment, which recognizes outstanding teachers and scholars, is the most prestigi,ous honor that can be earned by a faculty member at Illinois State University.

• Glenn D. Reeder •

Glenn Reeder, who joined the Illinois State faculty in 1977, has earned a distinguished reputation around the world for his scholarship in social psychology. He is a scholar of international renown, a dedicated and dynamic teacher and a major contributor co the University and the profession. Stephen Read of the University of Southern California writes that Reeder is "very well known both nationally and internationally, and his work has had a major, consistent impact in social psychology." Guido Peeters of Catholic University of Leuven, former editor of the European journal ofSocial Psychology, stresses "the high status that European social psycholo­ gists have accorded co Glenn Reeder." David Trafimow of New Mexico State University argues that "his contributions have had a profound effect on the development of social psychology," and Ralph Erber of DePaul University calls him "one of the intellectual leaders of our field." In the past 30 years, Reeder has produced some of the most influential work in his field, external grant awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Centers for Disease Control, and a continuous flow of publications in prestigious journals, including the journal ofPersonality and Social Psychology, journal ofExperimental Social Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and Psychological Review. He has served in prestigious invited positions including Erskine Fellow at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and faculty of the Leuven/Louvain post-graduate summer school in Belgium. Students have been the primary beneficiaries of Reeder's teaching career. Departmental colleagues note the wide range of undergraduate- and graduate-level courses he covers and praise the wealth of knowledge and effective teaching skills he brings co the classroom. He has been lauded for being a dedicated exponent of active learning and for insisting that students in all of his classes write as part of their learning. Reeder believes the "strongest and most enduring impact on students occurs at the individual level." He spends a significant amount of time one-on-one with students in all of his courses and regularly takes on numerous independent studies. He has supervised and mentored dozens of graduate students, helping them present their research at conferences and assisting them toward further studies and career goals. Many of Reeder's former students have gone on co complete doctorates at schools that include Northwestern University, University of Wisconsin, University of North Carolina, and Humboldt University in Germany and have enjoyed subsequent success in their own academic careers.

s 2008 Distinguished Professor

• Radheshyam K ]ayaswal •

Radheshyam Jayaswal is an internationally recognized scholar in microbiology, gathering praise for his work, which may have significant public health implications. His research contributions in microbiology have attracted international distinction for Illinois State University. Paul Williams of the University of Nottingham said Professor Jayaswal "is well known internationally for his research on the molecular genetics of antibi­ otic resistance, metal homeostasis and pathogenicity in staphylococcus aureus" and describes the significance of his "excellent innovative work in this field." Saleem Khan of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine said the professor's laboratory "was the first to clone and characterize the S. Aureus gene encoding and autolysin" and describes a subsequent series of "significant contributions" with "very important" implications in public health. According to Bernard Weisblum of the University of Wisconsin, Jayaswal's studies "are important conceptually, as well as practically in connection with emerging resistance of bacterial infections to nearly all antibiotics currently in use." Jayaswal's research agenda has yielded an impressive number of publications, including widely cited works in the journal ofBacteriology, Microbiology, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Molecular Microbiology, and Applied and Environmental Microbiology. The continuous nature of external funding in support of Jayaswal's research program over 20 years serves as an indicator of his recognized leadership in the field. A faculty member since 1988, his work at Illinois State has been supported with over $1.5 million in extramural funding from competitive sources, including the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association and industry grants. Doctoral students under Jayaswal's supervision have moved on to postdoctoral positions at such prestigious institutions as the University of Chicago and Stanford University. Master's students working in his laboratory have enjoyed an outstanding record of professional accomplishment, and one of Jayaswal's international peers extols the "crucial importance" of Illinois State's programs. Jayaswal has also provided significant contributions in service to the University and to his discipline, including valuable efforts on a number of curriculum development projects such as the M.S. sequence in biotechnology and the Ph.D. sequence in molecular and cell biology. He has served on the University Curriculum Committee, College Faculty Status Committee, Panel of Ten and Department Faculty Status Committee. Jayaswal has provided service as a reviewer for numerous academic journals and on grant review panels for a variety of funding organizations including the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Science Foundation of Ireland.
