Welcome to ForeCAST, an annual magazine dedicated to sharing educational accomplishments and experiences of students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the Col- lege of Applied Science and Technology. I am fond of saying that CAST is a complex organization that has many moving parts. Much of what helps maintain the positive trajectory in the college is the support provided by key stakeholders and constit- uent groups. Among these groups is a committed set of emeriti faculty from the Department of Technology who has organized themselves into a powerful group. Their objective is to marshal financial support to provide endowed scholarships for deserving students. Gifts like these are used to create a well-rounded educational experience for our students, making their time at Illinois State University invaluable. A group who refers to themselves as the PEMS is also highlighted in this issue. The PEMS (physical education majors) share a common bond that emanates Beyond these exciting developments in CAST, from a love for their alma mater. This group has forged the Illinois State University community welcomed lifelong friendships and meets regularly to enjoy the our new president, Timothy J.

Induction into the Academy of Achievement is an honor bestowed on graduates of the College of Applied Science and Technology. Nominees must have demonstrated significant contributions to a chosen profession/ community and commitment to Illinois State following graduation. No more than 20 years may have passed since inductees graduated from Illinois State. The academy attempts to bring together “thought leaders” in their fields who, through their life work, serve as an inspiration to others to pursue similar career paths.
