Through exciting research findings, new partnerships, and applying for National Cancer Institute designation, the CCIL has been a hub of activity. Our members continue to show that research is at our center’s core. From Stephen Boppart’s visualization of breast cancer tissue in real-time to Timothy Fan’s work in fighting osteosarcoma with immunotherapy, CCIL members are at the forefront of cancer research. To foster that work, we launched a new Seed Grant Program in the spring. This initiative builds engineering–biology collaborations and advances novel research that shows promise for future external funding.

  • Senate Executive Committee Report University of Illinois at Urbana
    Senate Executive Committee Report University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Academic Year 2017-2018 submitted by BM Francis, Chair, Senate Executive Committee 10 September 2018 The Senate Executive Committee (SEC) meets monthly during the academic year, and as needed in the summer months. Much of its work consists of acting as a conduit between the work of Senate committees and the body of the Senate. SEC sets the Senate agenda; receives reports from committees; and sends to the Senate those items passed by committees (including both resolutions and proposals). It is the Senate which votes on these proposals. The chancellor and/or the provost generally attend SEC meetings; if neither is available, a vice chancellor is delegated to attend. In addition to its regular meetings on the Monday before each Senate meeting, SEC meets twice a year with the UI System president: once in January for a general discussion of the state of the System, and once in June to evaluate the Chancellor (as stated in the Senate Bylaws, Part D.1.a, under “Duties od the Senate Executive Committee). SEC also meets once each year with the Chancellor for the specific purpose of evaluating vice chancellors (Senate Bylaws, Part D.1); prior to this meeting, each vice chancellor sends a report to the SEC. The custom has been to evaluate one vice chancellor in depth each year, so that over a period of years, all of the vice chancellors are reviewed. In academic year 2017-18, the in-depth review was omitted, because all UIUC vice chancellors, including the provost, have held office for less than 2 years.
