Have you ever thought about what you’d like to change about IIT? About how IIT could be improved?
As part of the new accreditation process of the North Central Association’s Higher Learning Commission (HLC), universities are required to undertake a Quality Improvement Initiative. The Quality Improvement Initiative can be anything intended to significantly improve the quality of the university. The IIT Accreditation Advisory Committee has invited all members of the IIT community–students, faculty and staff–to share your ideas about a quality improvement initiative that IIT might undertake. They’ve set up a website to gather your ideas; you can submit an original idea (in 150 words or less), and/or vote on ideas submitted by others. Don’t be afraid to be bold, but please submit only serious ideas. The idea submission and voting process will be active until April 21, so send your ideas now. Submit your idea and vote on others’ now:

Pictures from the School of Applied Technology party at the Bog on Tuesday, January 24th are now posted on Facebook. If you didn’t make it, we’re sorry, because it was a great time. It was super to see so many students and faculty turn out and a special thanks goes out to ITM Program Coordinator Madeleine England for doing such a wonderful job setting this all up. Anyway, plan on making it to our picnic next September: we’ve learned our lesson and we’ll do everything we can to not run out of food!
On Wednesday January 18th many of your favorite websites–Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, Reddit, Boing Boing and more–will be blacked out for a day to protest two pending pieces of legislation now before the Congress of the United States: the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives, and PROTECTIP (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate. If passed, this legislation will harm the free and open Internet, stifle online innovation and creativity, and bring about new tools for censorship of international websites inside the United States. They appear to violate provisions of the U.S. Constitution by operating with a presumption of guilt and denial of due process, and could seriously harm the integrity of the Internet Domain Name System, particularly ongoing efforts to implement DNSSEC. For more information about this legislation please see the Electronic Frontier Foundation‘s site and please contact your Senators and Representative to make your opinion heard.
The ITM Program is now accepting resumes for the following student positions:
