"Two major new construction projects along State Street—the McCormick Tribune Campus Center and State Street Village, a residence hall complex—will open this fall. As the first new buildings on campus in more than 25 years, both are already being embraced as architectural landmarks."

"Earlier this year, we launched the Mies Society—chaired by former Illinois governor James R. Thompson"

"Last fall, undergraduate enrollment increased more than 20 percent. We’ve set equally ambitious goals to increase this year’s incoming freshman class by another 15 percent. Graduate school enrollment has also increased and is on-target to meet or exceed goals."

"Recently, I announced the appointment of Allan Myerson, former dean of the Armour College of Engineering and Science, as senior vice president and provost. He is moving rapidly to modify the academic structure to better support students and reflect our institutional priorities."
