We come from disparate ethnicities, religions, and countries. We vary in age, color, gender, and mindset. We learn and work at five different campuses, and live in separate cities (and states). We are students, faculty, staff, alumni, and civic leaders. Considering these factors, we break the common definition of community. Yet despite our differences, we are united by one enduring similarity: our IIT identity. We are energetic, ingenious, and tenacious—possessed by a desire to improve. We are inspired by city life and civic responsibility. We embrace professionalism and hard work, and we are committed to educating students who can contribute

and thrive in an increasingly complex and technological world. These are the distinguishing features of our educational goals and our outlook. These are our values—ideals we have made a promise to share and to work together to uphold— for the betterment of ourselves and our world. We do not strive to be a stereotypic university; rather, we celebrate our diversity and will channel our energy and vision toward solving major problems facing local and global societies: energy, health, sustainable resource utilization. We recognize that the solutions will be based on both technology and human behavior. We are dedicated to educating the next generation of leaders who understand this. We will not be everything to everyone; instead, we will have an impact in select areas. Our graduates will be prepared to tackle important problems that vex our society. Our diverse community shares common goals and is richer because of its differences. The broad input we receive enables us to better understand the needs of society and the requirements of education. Our diversity leads to ideas and initiatives that far surpass the possibilities offered by homogeneity. And it inspires us. Mutual goals and diversity—a recipe for excellence and progress. A university community with a strong identity and a commitment to excellence is unlimited in its potential. I am proud to be a part of the IIT community and to report on the people, research, and work that defined the university last year.

John L. Anderson President

1 hen I wrote to you from the pages of last year’s annual W report as the new chair of the Board of Trustees, I closed my letter with the thought that our academic community was entering into a new chapter in the rich history of Illinois Institute of Technology. What a remarkable first year—and first chapter—it has been. Who We Are, the theme of this annual report, succinctly and confidently conveys an integral part of the process of growth and transition, that is, to know oneself. The past year has given all of us an opportunity to set goals and embrace our unique roles as faculty, students, staff, and friends of IIT.

The year also gave me the opportunity to learn more about what is important to our community as head of the search committee to replace Lew Collens, who retired after 17 years as IIT president. I had the privilege to serve along with representatives from the board, faculty, students, alumni, and the external community to select John L. Anderson as eighth president of IIT. My colleagues on the board and I look forward to working with President Anderson as we help to take IIT to its next level of excellence. Taking IIT to this next level is not something that I, the board, or President Anderson can do alone or even together; it is something that can only be achieved by the community composed of us all. It is an endeavor to which we can all aspire. After all, it is Who We Are.

From these transition wherein reflecting on IIT’s next steps. Well-versed in its conversations, four strong and distinct messages were heard: IIT is an academic experience grounded in engineering, science, and technology. IIT attracts exceptional students who have the university’s past successes set past triumphs, and looking toward an intense work ethic.

Chia-hao Tu Electrical Engineering, 4th Year Crystal Reynolds Psychology, 3rd Year College of Science and Letters physics professors Howard Rubin, Daniel Kaplan [left], and Christopher White are members of two competing international groups looking at how the movement of the elementary particle known as the neutrino could help explain what happened after the cosmic Big Bang and why the universe apparently has more matter than antimatter. The three researchers are among a handful of institutions with collaborators on both teams, which comprise more than 200 physicists, engineers, and technicians from nearly 10 countries.

Trustee Ralph Wanger gave a $5 million gift to establish the Wanger Institute for Sustainable Energy Research (WISER), an interdisciplinary research center that will further the goal of a sustainable energy system for the and the world, and bring further national and international recognition to IIT. WISER will combine faculty and students from across the university in collaborative research projects on topics such as conservation, non-fossil-fuel energy sources, government policy, and keeping a free market in energy.

Designing homes that are both environmentally sustainable and affordable is a challenge that was addressed by College of Architecture Professor Eva Kultermann through the Urban Design/Build Studio. The studio partnered with the Chicago Department of Housing and Genesis Housing Development Corporation to lead students in the construction of a green home [below right] on the city’s South Side. The college itself was “greened” through a y iit curios project undertaken by Chandra Goldsmith Gray, landscape architect and professor, and architect Sarah Dunn of UrbanLab, who designed a plan to meet the contemporary needs of S. R. Crown Hall. The new landscaping, based on an original plan by Alfred Caldwell, will make the building more energy efficient through the strategic placement of native trees to help manage the positive and negative aspects of solar loss and gain.

The House of the Future, a concept project developed by the Energy and Sustainability Institute, entered into its second planning phase with faculty from Armour College of Engineering, the College of Architecture, and the Institute of Design presenting a workshop on various issues to consider—the human element, high-tech/low-tech approaches, utilities—within the structure. The Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Project, an effort to double the fuel efficiency and reduce emissions from the City of Chicago’s fleet of hybrid Ford Escape SUVs, received assistance from ComEd, which is providing the company’s expertise in best practices and technical and regulatory matters. And Armour students gained valuable experience from their first-time participation in the 2007 Formula Hybrid Competition, taking third place in three categories [left].

Sustainable Innovation ’06 was the theme of an international conference hosted by the Stuart School of Business Center for Sustainable Enterprise and sponsored by The Centre for Sustainable Design (England). Held for the first time in the United States, the event highlighted product design and services in the new world of globalization and long, complex supply chains. In the spirit of the theme, conference planners utilized a carbon credit system designed to offset CO2 emissions generated as a result of the conference, for example, through travel to the event.

Creating sustainable change in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere is the aim of Haiti Outreach–IIT, a newly formed group of students and faculty. In August 2006, IIT Vice President David Baker, Armour College of Engineering Professor Pagilla, and four engineering students visited Pignon, Haiti, to explore education-oriented development projects that would benefit residents of the impoverished town [left]. That trip resulted in three large-scale projects to provide clean water access, sanitation, education, and infrastructure improvements. It also served as the inspiration behind the founding of the IIT chapter of Haiti Outreach by Armour graduate student Alexandre Miot. Haiti Outreach–IIT is collaborating with several external organizations as well as with College of Architecture students from the service group Architecture That Matters. Haiti Outreach–IIT is currently finalizing plans to replace Pignon’s outdated water supply and distribution system. Future plans include the expansion of the town’s high school. y iit tenac

Students new to IIT began their academic year performing humanitarian projects closer to Main Campus as they participated in the annual Day of Service [right]. More than 200 freshman volunteered in projects ranging from cleaning and picking up trash at the 31st Street beach to helping teachers set up for their new academic year at John B. Drake Elementary School. Faculty, too, showed their community support by coming to the aid of those less fortunate. Associate Professor Daniel T. Coyne and Clinical Professor Richard S. Kling donated untold hours in the name of justice representing clients in capital and other legal cases through the in-house clinics of Chicago-Kent College of Law. A record number of law students served as legal advocates under the supervision of these two faculty members as well as through Chicago-Kent’s Public Interest Resource Center, assisting clients across a spectrum of causes.

One cause inspired four undergraduates—Vishal Kadakia (BME ’07), Jason Tenenbaum (AE ’07), Tim Schug (CE ’07), and Brandon Lloyd (AE 4th year) [left]—to help bring back a long-standing and much-cherished tradition to Main Campus. After being shuttered for three years, the campus hangout, The Bog, reopened to the sounds of crashing tenpins, live entertainment, and animated conversation. As a result of the group’s tireless leadership and the support of the IIT community, students, faculty, and staff now have a place where they can come together to celebrate their hard work or to just unwind.

12 Katherine Pemberton Design, Master’s Degree Candidate Yogeswaran Linga Devaraj Computer Science, Master’s Degree Candidate F. R. “Buck” McMorris, professor and College of Science and Letters dean, traveled to Krakow, Poland, with Coleman Foundation Chair in Entrepreneurship and Industry Associate Professor David Pistrui of the Stuart School of Business to explore projects with the global information technology company Comarch. As a result of that visit, 12 IIT students were selected to participate in a collaborative, six-week summer internship program. Comarch has since become a tenant at University Technology Park At IIT (UTP) and has offered jobs to eight of the IIT students who participated in the internship.

In less than two years of operation, UTP—a state-of-the-art facility where academia and private business come together to share research, resources, and ideas—drew nearly 20 company and research tenants. The first tenant of UTP’s Incubator, All Cell Technologies, LLC, founded by Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering faculty members Said Al-Hallaj and J. Robert Selman [left], received $1.25 million in financing from Heartland Angels. The Jules F. Knapp Entrepreneurship Center, which offers technology-based companies all-inclusive services, y iit

including the services of UTP, launched its Internet portal, www.knappcenter.iit.edu. The ingenu center’s first client—Network Blackbox, which has developed a unique back-up system for small to medium businesses—continued to make strides toward profitability.

IIT received a National Science Foundation grant to review best practices of the Engineering Projects in Community Service programs, a renowned, service-learning initiative based at Purdue University, while moving to incorporate the program into IIT’s own Interprofessional Projects program.

The Institute of Design has recently commenced the Rethinking Health project, led by professors Jeremy Alexis, Judith Gregory, and Charles Owen. The goal of the project is to develop a series of proposals for rethinking the problem of health care in the United States, based on design research and design thinking. The first phase of this project began in summer 2007 and will conclude in summer 2008, and includes class projects and faculty research. The school will host several workshops that bring together students, healthcare thought leaders, and faculty to review the project’s progress and to identify new opportunity areas.

With a wide reputation for excellence in the promotion of research and teaching on problems of practical and professional ethics, the Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions (CSEP) celebrated three decades of creativity and innovation. The center’s Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl was honored with the 2006 American Philosophical Association/Philosophy Documentation Center Prize for Excellence and Innovation in Philosophy Programs. Created in 1993 by Humanities Professor and CSEP Associate Robert Ladenson, Ethics Bowl drew 86 schools from around the country to this year’s competition. Also at the center, Vivian Weil, CSEP director, was invited to join the Nanotechnology Technical Advisory Group of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology to serve as an expert resource for the 2007 review of federal nanotechnology research and development.

With a rich history reaching back to

the “Million Dollar Sermon” of 1890 delivered

by Reverend Frank Wakely Gunsaulus on

the city’s South Side, IIT is a part of Chicago

and is enriching the city through a variety of

initiatives. By virtue of its location in one of

the most dynamic American metropolises,

IIT enables students, faculty, and staff to

engage in myriad opportunities to learn and

to experience the joy of living in—and giving

17 The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) High School Transformation Project involves the full science departments of 11 area schools. These schools receive customized help from IIT’s Department of Mathematics and Science Education, which offers a comprehensive, disciplinary-based approach to secondary-level instruction and emphasizes inquiry-oriented instruction and conceptual learning. Funded by a $4.2 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through CPS, the project also partners the university with The Field Museum and book publisher Glencoe/McGraw Hill.

The Stuart School of Business has launched a partnership with two Illinois Department of Human Services’ programs, the Teen Parent Family Services Project (TPFSP) and Teen Parents Services–Central (TPS-C). These agencies help young parents y life iit c

and their families obtain education, life skills, and workforce training. Stuart has donated 30 personal computer systems to the agencies for use in educational and career-oriented programming, and plans a continuing partnership with TPFSP and TPS-C.

The Institute of Psychology partnered with CPS to conduct screening for gifted programs. Pre-kindergarten through third grade children who sought entrance to the CPS gifted and enriched programs for fall 2007 were evaluated on Main Campus [right]. A team of clinical graduate students, clinical faculty, and staff of the institute’s Center for Research and Service administered tests to more than 5,000 students.

The Chicago Children’s Museum commissioned Professor of Technical Communication Susan Feinberg from the College of Science and Letters, and students in the Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) 329, to design a new multimedia display; Feinberg will direct a new IPRO in which students will develop interactive content for the Museum of Science and Industry’s website. CSL Associate Professor Glenn Broadhead led a class in which students assisted in the development of exhibit materials for the Bronzeville Visitor Information Center, a point of access for tourists, residents, and researchers to the historic neighborhood surrounding Main Campus.

In 2006, IIT entered into a partnership with CPS to provide full financial scholarships to qualified high school students whose families have household incomes under $40,000. Last May, $2 million was raised to begin the program, named the Collens Scholarship Program in honor of former IIT President Lew Collens.

51 or a combined total of nearly 100 years, IIT has advanced national research with two Frenowned science facilities: IIT Research Institute (IITRI) and the National Center for Food Safety and Technology (NCFST).

Founded in 1936 as the Armour Research Foundation, IITRI was created to support the research efforts of faculty from Armour Institute, predecessor to IIT. Renamed IITRI in the 1950s, the institute is located on IIT’s Main Campus and functions as an independent, not-for-profit, contract research organization focusing on the life sciences. Its main function is to provide research and development services, and consultation to pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology companies; the National Institutes of Health; the Department of Defense; and other federal government agencies. Major areas of iitri IIT Research Institute ncfst National Center for Food Safety and Technology

research include non-clinical toxicology, inhalation toxicology, carcinogenesis and cancer prevention, and development, microbiology and molecular biology, metabolism and pharmacokinetics, and analytical chemistry.

NCFST is a research consortium composed of the United States Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (Division of Food Processing, Science, and Technology), the food industry, and IIT. Established in 1988, NCFST has the unique aspect of being the only center where industry can work collaboratively on projects with FDA scientists on food safety and technology research. Major areas of research include food processing and packaging, chemical constituents and allergens, food defense, food microbiology and virology, and health-promoting foods. NCFST is located on IIT’s Moffett Campus in Summit-Argo, Ill.

Mehta and his group have shown that the active metabolite of D5 displays anticancer properties at dose levels far less toxic than are effective doses of the active metabolite of vitamin D3.
