manifest: contributing to the community One of IIT’s goals in the Challenge campaign was to renovate and update the Main Campus, making it more attractive to students. An ancillary goal was working with community, city, state and private resources to facilitate improvements in neighboring areas. IIT has helped the community plan for a more vital 35th Street business corridor. The university has become a resource for academic initiatives in nearby schools—providing tutors for high school students, rewiring classrooms for the Internet, and designing the Digital Media Center for the educational needs of local schoolchildren. IIT’s involvement in local schools extends to the Young Women’s Leadership Charter School, located on the Main Campus, and to the Wendell Phillips Academy, in which the university has a deep commitment. It now includes special preparation of IIT students with the university’s new Department of Mathematics and Science Education. This program gives students an education minor that prepares them for a teaching certificate at the secondary level. Accreditation of the program is expected for 2002. Neighboring schools provide IIT students with an opportunity to teach and learn at the same time. The local community also includes Michigan Place, across the street from the IIT residences, where townhomes are selling at market prices upward of $400,000.
