    2008 Annual Report “ Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfi ts, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify forward: motion them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things...they push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.” —Apple Co-founder Steve Jobs Contents From the President 2 From the Chair 3 Students 4 Research 16 Community 36 Campus 48 Financials 59 Board 62 From the President t Illinois Institute of Technology, we see things differently. We view technology and innovation as the tools to propel society forward. Now more than ever, worldwide demand for cleaner energy, better education for tomorrow’s leaders, and solutions to vexing medical issues place IIT in a position where the work we do can Ayield powerful results. In order to make a broad impact, we know that IIT needs to establish its place among the top universities in the country. In my inauguration as president last year, I described how IIT must capitalize on its areas of expertise if the university is to move toward higher plateaus. The IIT community has rallied behind this charge and set into motion Many Voices, One Vision, a strategic initiative designed to advance the university.
