Dear IIT Community,
As you know, we have embarked on a strategic planning process, Many Voices, One Vision, with the goal of developing the university’s unique path to future excellence. We need your help. Determining how to take IIT to the next level will require contributions from our entire university. We want to hear your voice and listen to your vision. We have created a new website to allow you to easily share your vision and ideas for the future of our university. These preliminary ideas will be collected and presented to our planning steering committee at the very beginning of our process. Please visit http://manyvoices.iit.edu before May 7th to offer your input. I urge all of you to participate in this initial idea gathering effort.
The challenges facing universities are great. The IIT community has a long record of responding to these kinds of challenges with creativity, energy and innovation. I know that we will again. Please share your vision with us today.
Sincerely,
John L. Anderson

This position has only been around since Spring 2004, and has shown definite results. However, it has unfortunately been canceled for Fall 08. More »SexTech
