President’s Message “Learning is more than the mastery of skills, the accumulation of facts, and the application of memorized responses. Knowledge does not endure unless it is accompanied by intellectual curiosity. Teaching must encourage independence of thought, personal initiative, the play of memory and imagination— qualities that seed the mind with ideas and lead the student in the joy of self-discovery.” Peter J.

The college has been serving students in its role as the state's only upper-level institu- tion since 1966, when the State University established it as the Upper Division College to meet the needs of transfer and graduate students. In that capacity, the Institute of Technology has been able to offer two-year college gradu- ates and master degree students a support system geared exclusively for their needs and interests. Over the past three decades, students have been the beneficiaries of the expertise of admissions and financial aid professionals who deal daily with the issues of credit transfer and funding possibilities that face students gradu- ating with an associate's degree or transferring from a four-year college. And the record shows the Institute of Technology has become a "crossroads college" for students making critical choices concerning their futures, and the logical next step for those from community and junior
