We enter into the summer months with news that faculty member Pavel Snopok, assistant professor of physics, has been given a Department of Energy Early Career Research Program award for 2012. The funding will support his research efforts on muon-based accelerators. Snopok will develop and test the accuracy of new modeling tools used to assess the performance of a muon collider or neutrino factory. As one of the Midwest's top Ph.D.-granting universities, with several nationally ranked programs, IIT is committed to the advancement of the human condition through quality teaching and research. Through our schools of engineering, the sciences and humanities, design, architecture, law, business, and psychology, we are educating students to excel in a complex global society. Our faculty research initiatives are addressing some of the most compelling topics of our time, from hybrid vehicles to biomedicine to cancer research. The university is committed to developing and fostering a climate of inclusiveness, with a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. I have appointed a committee, representative of every part of the university, to consider ways to improve diversity and the climate of inclusiveness on the campus. That committee is reviewing our diversity statement. It is also working to develop implementation plans for the goals for diversity set forth in our strategic plan. More information will be coming from the committee as it progresses in its work. I encourage you to explore this website to learn more about the people—students, faculty, and staff—that make IIT distinctly unique. Sincerely, John L. Anderson |
