elcome to IIT’s 148th Commencement Exercise. The university community
extends cordial greetings to the families and friends who are gathered
here to celebrate the culmination of years of formal study.
For 2,547 students, today’s ceremony officially recognizes their academic
accomplishments during the 2016–17 academic year and inaugurates a new era in their
lives. With a broad foundation of both intellectual capability and experiential learning
that characterizes an IIT education, these graduates also take with them a sound
understanding of contemporary society and its values as they join thousands of other
IIT alumni.

In 1890, when advanced education was often reserved for society’s elite, Chicago minister Frank Wakely Gunsaulus delivered what came to be known as the “Million Dollar Sermon” near the site Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) now occupies. Gunsaulus said that with a million dollars he would build a school where students of all backgrounds could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing industrial society. Philip Danforth Armour, a Chicago meatpacking industrialist and grain merchant, heard the sermon and came to share the minister’s vision, agreeing to finance the endeavor with the stipulation that Gunsaulus become the first president of Armour Institute.
When Armour Institute opened in 1893, it offered professional courses in engineering, chemistry, architecture, and library science. IIT was created in 1940 by the merger of Armour Institute with Lewis Institute (est. 1895), a West Side college that offered liberal arts as well as science and engineering courses. The Institute of Design, founded in 1937, merged with IIT in 1949.
In 1969, IIT became one of the few technology-based universities with a law school when Chicago-Kent College of Law, founded in 1887, became a part of the university. Stuart School of Business was added in 1969 with a gift from the estate of Lewis Institute alumnus and Chicago financier Harold Leonard Stuart. Midwest College of Engineering, founded in 1967, joined the university in 1986, forming the nucleus for IIT’s west suburban campus.
Today, Illinois Institute of Technology is a private, Ph.D.-granting university with programs in engineering, science, architecture, law, human sciences, design, business, and applied technology. More than 7,800 graduate and undergraduate students study here, coming from 48 states and from 100 countries.
Scientists and engineers from IIT are responsible for some of the world’s most important technological advances; IIT architects have shaped the skylines of cities globally; and Chicago-Kent College of Law alumni are impacting the legal system.

Three miles south of the Chicago Loop, IIT’s Mies Campus was designed by renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1940, and IIT’s 19 Mies buildings are the highest concentration in the world. The American Institute of Architects designated Mies Campus as one of the 200 most important works of architecture in the country, and Mies’ S. R. Crown Hall, which houses the College of Architecture, was granted National Historic Landmark status in 2001.
Continuing IIT’s tradition of cutting-edge design, the university added two new buildings in 2003—The McCormick Tribune Campus Center, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas, and State Street Village Residence Hall, designed by Helmut Jahn, named one of the Ten Most Influential Living American Architects by the American Institute of Architects.
IIT has three additional campuses. The Downtown Campus is home to Chicago-Kent College of Law, Stuart School of Business, and the Institute of Design. The Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Campus in Wheaton, Illinois, offers graduate and undergraduate courses and houses the School of Applied Technology. The Moffett Campus, in Bedford Park, Illinois, is the home of the Institute for Food Safety and Health. IIT also has state-of-the-art distance learning programs.

Much of the American academic ceremonial apparel is derived from that worn at British universities, particularly Oxford University. When Oxford was granted a charter in 1241, its members wore clerical garb because of the close connection between the university and the church. Academic apparel for colleges and universities in America was first introduced at Williams College in 1887. The Intercollegiate Commission drafted the first uniform code in 1895.
The bachelor’s gown is untrimmed, with long pointed sleeves, and is worn closed. The master’s gown has long, crescent-shaped sleeves and may be worn open or closed. The doctor’s gown has velvet facing down the front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves. The velvet is either black or the color of the major field of study. For years, most gowns were black, but today most American institutions have followed the British custom of using red or college colors.
The hood is the most important and distinctive feature of the American system. It was originally intended as a head cover and shoulder cape. The color of the trim indicates the degree field; for example, purple is law, orange is engineering, lavender is architecture. The length of the hood and the width of the trim indicate the degree earned, the doctor’s hood being the longest and having the widest trim. The color or colors of the hood lining indicate the degree-granting institution. The Illinois Institute of Technology hood lining has the school colors, a single gray chevron on a scarlet field.

Student Speaker
Melanie P. StandishPsychology, with Minors in Business and Leadership
From as early as the second grade, Melanie Standish recalls that her teacher told her parents about her constant smile. “I suppose my smile has always been a part of me,” says Standish, noting that even several instructors at Victor J. Andrew High School in Tinley Park, Illinois, remarked on her smile as well. During her second year at Illinois Tech, Standish decided to make “Stay Smiling” part of her email signature. “It’s funny how it seems to make a little impact on someone’s day,” she says, noting the many comments she has received about what has now become her motto. “People really take it as a positive message.”
Standish’s outlook on life has served as a strong base for the many leadership roles she has assumed throughout all her four years at Illinois Tech. She came to the university on a Camras Scholarship, awarded to fewer than 1 percent of Illinois Tech applicants. Standish began acquiring her leadership skills through the Student Orientation, Advisement, and Registration program, helping new students gain the most from their college experience. During each year at Illinois Tech she held leadership roles—event planner, on-campus chair, and president—on Union Board, an organization that coordinates a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the annual Spring Formal, for students. Standish also worked with Chicago-area high school students accepted into the university’s Global Leaders Program, helping
to develop and facilitate leadership seminars and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programming.
Standish is a member of an Illinois Tech legacy family; her father, Tim, is a mechanical engineering alumnus and her cousin, Jeremy Gentile, is also graduating today with a degree in architecture. She says that the university helped her to spread her wings.
“One of the most important things I learned here is the beauty of diversity, because there are students from so many different backgrounds and cultures,” she says, adding that she really ventured out of her comfort zone when she participated in a study-abroad exchange program in Cork, Ireland, last fall. She will be embarking on another adventure this summer, at Rush University Medical Center, where she will be researching a leadership model through the National Center for Healthcare Leadership. Standish will then return to Illinois Tech to begin the Ph.D. program in psychology, specializing in industrial-organizational psychology with the goal of becoming a leadership development coach and conducting leadership research.
At Commencement today Standish is wearing an honorary orange cord, which represents the Global Leaders Program.
“Leadership is my passion,” she says.

“The Star-Spangled Banner”Lyrics by Francis Scott Key, Arrangement by Jaret Landon
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet waveO’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
