MIT News Office

Susan Hockfield, a distinguished neuroscientist and current Provost at Yale University, has been selected the 16th president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dr. Hockfield was elected by the MIT Corporation during a special meeting of that gov-erning body on August 26th. She is expected to take office in early December.

In making the announcement, Cor-poration Chairman Dana G. Mead PO ’67 said, “As a strong advocate of the vital role that science, technol-ogy, and the research university play in the world, and with an exceptional record of achievement in serving faculty and student interests, Dr. Hockfield is clearly the best person to lead MIT in the years ahead. She brings to MIT an outstanding record as teacher, scientist and inspirational leader with a reputation for bringing out the best in all the people with whom she works.”

Dr. Hockfield joined the Yale faculty in 1985. She was promoted to full professor in 1994 and quickly rose to the center of leadership at Yale, first as Dean of Yale’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (1998-2002), with oversight of over 70 graduate programs, and then as Provost, the university’s chief academic and administrative officer.

Richard C. Levin, President of Yale University, said, “Susan Hockfield has been an out-standing dean and provost. She has the intelligence, judgment, and interpersonal skills to be a superb president. She has a broad understanding of the future direction of science and technology, and is well prepared to assume the leadership of MIT and to take a leading

SPECIAL EVENT — MIT ALUMNI TRAVEL PROGRAM

YOUNG ALUMNI SEMINARIn February, 2005, MIT will be hosting a Young Alumni Seminar much like one that was held in Feb 2003. This is an opportunity for young alums to pick a topic of interest, get speakers with the assitance of MIT, have MIT partially subsidize the event, and spend an hour or so networking and a few hours hearing a panel of speak-ers. A planning meeting will be held in November, so young alums should be watching their email for more information to help with the planning as well as more information on the event itself.

YOUNG ALUM BOWLING AT HOLLYWOOD AND HIGHLAND

STRRRRRRIKE! No, not baseball, silly, it’s time for some BOWL-ING fun! Come join with us at the new Lucky Strikes Bowling Alley and Lounge in the Hollywood and Highland Complex. It doesn’t matter if you’re a 300 or a 20 pin bowler, we promise you’ll have a great time! Because this is more of a lounge than a typical bowling alley, please dress appropriately (no tennis shoes or athletic gear...don’t worry, you will be sporting spiffy, multi-colored bowling shoes during the bowling sessions.) Afterwards, you can opt to stay for dinner or explore the hip Hollywood area as well.

SPECIAL EVENT — MIT ON THE ROAD

MIT ON THE ROAD - SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

MIT on the Road (MOTR) Comes to Southern California in style! Join us at Shutters at the Beach on Saturday, November 6th for an event to remember. As you can see from the line-up of speakers, MOTR will give you a glimpse into three very different areas of research at the Institute that will take us to outer space, to the inner workings of the brain, and into the world around us. Join us for an information rich and exciting day of insights that only a place like MIT can provide. Not only will we involve you in a mind stretch-ing program but give you the chance to share this experience with fellow alumni, parents of MIT students, and friends. This promises to be a splendid event in a truly spectacular venue.

David W. Miller ’82, Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics will present “Mini Sat-ellites: A Vision for Exploration and Education”.

Distributing mission functionality across multiple satellites has the promise of revolutionizing space exploration, while also presenting unique challenges. This talk will focus on how MIT’s Distributed Satellite Systems program integrates mission design, technology development, on-orbit research, and undergraduate education into a unique approach to making this vision a reality.

Nancy Kanwisher ’80, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, will present “People, Places, and Things: How We See the World”.

About half of the human cortex is devoted to vision, and for the first time functional brain imaging is providing a detailed map of the architecture of the human visual cortex. This talk will examine several of these cor-tical regions and their surprisingly specific functions, such as the recognition of faces, places, and bodies as we try to understand the precise information extracted by them, the role each area plays in visual behavior,

and the origin of these highly specialized cortical regions in de-velopment and experience.

Kip Hodges GY ’82, Professor of Geology will present “Climate and Mountain Evolution: Holistic Approaches to Earth System Sci-ence”. New research on mountain ranges in the Himalayas and the Andes reveals a fundamental relationship between their evolution and regional climate. Here we examine the nature of this relationship in the context of emergent behavior in com-plex systems. This talk will explore how new technologies are revolutionizing our ability to monitor Earth system processes like mountain building and climate change, thus informing new strategies for global stewardship.

SEEKING FUNDS TO SUPPORT TEACHER SCHOLARSHIPS TO MIT

It is critical that we encourage scientific literacy and interest in science and engineering careers among America’s young people. We believe that teachers hold the key to sparking and nurturing this interest. In 1989, MIT Professor Ron Latanision founded the Science and Engineering Program for Teachers. This is an inten-sive one-week program for science, technology, and mathematics teachers to explore how engineers apply scientific principles to meet the technological needs of society and commerce. MIT’s Teacher Program gives educators an exciting, alternative perspective on the subjects they teach.

In 1990, under the leadership of Melinda Skaar SM ’87, the MIT Club of Southern California became the first alumni club to sponsor a teacher to participate in this program. (Now most of the teachers are sponsored by regional alumni clubs.) Starting in 1995, Jim Mikkelson ’70 and the Denver Foundation provided finan-cial sponsorship to allow the Club to support up to 3 teachers per year. We are extremely grateful for this substantial support. Due to other financial commitments in Colorado, Jim and his Foundation can no longer support the Southern California Teacher Program starting in 2005.

In 2005, we need to find new funding of $4,200—i.e., $1,400/teach-er—to continue sending three Southern California teachers to MIT June 26 - July 2, 2005. We are also seeking applicants for the 2005 Teacher Program. If you or your company can be a sponsor, or can recommend deserving teachers to receive these scholarships, please contact local Teacher Scholarship Coordinator, Melinda Skaar ’87 at mskaar@alum.mit.edu or (323) 478-1801 or MITCSC President Jerald A. Cole ’82 at SoCalClubPres@alum.mit.edu or (562) 618-8641. Your support of this program for our local Teach-ers is extremely important and will be greatly appreciated.

ALUMNI/AE NEWSLETTER Fourth Quarter 2004 Page 8

The start of my tenure as President of this organization has, through certain circumstances, arrived a year earlier than ex-

pected. That does leave me at some disadvantage, as I had planned to spend the coming year getting to better know you, the MITCSC constituency, on a more personal level. By meeting with MITCSC volunteers and members, with event organizers and participants, I had expected to better understand how you view yourselves within the MIT community and what you expect from your alumni associa-tion – of which the MITCSC is your local representative.

I do not come unprepared, however. In the past two years, first as VP for Programs, and more recently as VP for Communications I have learned a great many things about this organization and its members, and your expectations and its needs. The most important lesson I have learned is that a great many of you want to be part of the MIT community – and that the MITCSC can and should be the vehicle for your participation.

As VP for Programs I learned that we cannot sponsor too many activities – for we are a diverse group with equally diverse interests and desires. We are also geographically dispersed across a tremen-dous land area, encompassing Los Angeles and Or-ange Counties, the Inland Empire, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties and the Lancaster-Palmdale area.

As I entered my role as VP for Communications I learned another valuable lesson. You, the constitu-ency of the MITCSC, want to be kept informed! As a result, two important changes were introduced. First, our published and mailed newsletters are now distributed four time per year, and on a regular sched-ule set to coincide with our fiscal year. Secondly, working with the current and continuing Chair of the Communications Committee, Jeff Arenberg ’86, we have established a biweekly electronic distribution of event announcements. Finally, as events of greater interest and importance approach, we will provide both printed and electronic reminders.

But, what are my goals for this coming year? Last year my prede-cessor, Russell Kurtz ’81, set a goal to increase the membership in the MITCSC. As a result of his direction and efforts we saw paid membership increase from 336 to 459. This translates into a 25 percent change, from 8.0 percent to 10.2 percent of the constituent alumni of the MITCSC.

Keeping in line with what Russ had done, I too have set specific goals for my administration. First of all I aim to bring our account-ing system up to date. Those of you who worry about such things may be surprised to learn that the MITCSC – despite the large number of Sloan School graduates in our area – still does not use double-entry bookkeeping to manage our finances. For those of you unfamiliar with accounting, this means that our present accounting system is based on early 15th century standards! – although we are in good company, the same is true of the U.S. Congress.

Seriously, though, the upshot of this is that it is currently difficult and time consuming to prepare timely and easy to read financial statement for The Club.

Working with the MITCSC Treasurer, Peter Gottlieb ’59, I plan to establish a new accounting system that will facilitate better and

simpler financial reporting, and enable the MITCSC board to make better and more timely financial decisions.

The other goal of my administration will be to improve the finan-cial stability of our organization. Currently, the MITCSC operates with a budget of about $25,000 per year. That means that we take in about $25,000 through events and dues, and we spend about $25,000 on events, scholarships, assorted club programs – such as the Annual MIT Leadership Conference – and of course, publishing and distributing the club newsletter.

Last year, under the direction of our past, and incoming Vice President for Programs, Tamra Johnson ’01, the MITCSC spon-sored and supported over 135 separate events – which is probably a record – at least in recent history! Most of these events, like the Orange County Lunch, are not intended to generate revenue for the club. All of these events, however, require significant effort on the part of our members and many of them require that we make a financial commitment.

As you might expect, when the local economy is down as it has been for the past couple of years the MITCSC is awash with

volunteers, but short on donors. As the economy is now picking up, however, we will need to encourage additional donations from our local alumni to ensure that we can continue to support events for current MIT students and parents, and to show thanks to our many volunteers.

This year, I expect our annual operating budget to exceed $30,000. In order to meet this financial obligation several changes will have to be made. As stated earlier, we are in the process of upgrading our financial accounting system so we can make better decision. We also need to maintain and even increase our current level of active membership.

At a recent volunteers meeting hosted by Tamra John-son and her husband Tim, the question was posed as to how we could improve our revenue and several of you

responded with excellent ideas. Among these was more consistent pricing of events to ensure that non-members both share the burden of supporting the club, and also realize the benefits of becoming paid members. This and other comments and ideas will be reviewed and implemented over the coming weeks and months.

A few years ago I heard a club volunteer pronounce that the MITCSC should be about FUN! And I have to agree. We need to promote activities and means of interaction between our alumni that bring enjoyment as well as intellectual stimulation. Events that are fun in and of themselves. This sort of commitment requires participation and effort, and it requires the means to carry out these events. This is what my tenure as President of the MITCSC will be about.

Over the next year the MITCSC has several important tasks before it. Firstly we will need to work toward sustaining the high level of membership established over the past 12 months. Secondly we will work toward greater fiscal discipline in our planning, scheduling and execution of club events – in order to ensure both high levels of participation and financial success. Finally, we need to encour-

RECENT EVENTS

MIT CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

2004 ANNUAL DINNER & MEETING Dr. Russell Kurtz ’81, Outgoing President of the MIT CSC hosted the 2004 Annual Dinner and Meeting at The Olympic Collection in Los Angeles on Saturday evening, June 26th.

The meeting consisted of reports on the growth of the club over the last year, its many activities, and it trend set-ting among MIT Alumni clubs in membership and number of programs. Re-ports were presented by Tamra Johnson ’01, VP Programs; Peter Gottlieb ’59, Treasurer; and, Me-linda C. Skaar SM ’87 on Special Projects.

Awards were presented for the Volunteer of the Year to Stefan Carp ’00. Additionally, the Lunden Student Scholarship re-cipients Brannon T. Weeks and Elizabeth Zhang were recognized. Those who have served during this year were recognized with certificates.

The annual presentation of Officers for the 2004-2005 year was held and the slate presented by the nominating committee was elected by majority of the members present, with no dissension.

The incoming President, Jerald A Cole ’82, presented the goals and objectives for the coming year and urged all to participate in another exciting program year. His address (see article, page 8) focused on a continuing program of communicating with the members and presenting programs that appeal to their interests – but with a focus

on fiscal re-sponsibility and financial stability for the club.

The evening w a s c o n -cluded with an exciting presentation on “Under-s t a n d i n g t h e L a s e r Revolution”

presented by Professor Shaoul “Ziggy” Ezekiel ’68. Professor Ezekiel is will known for his work in laser research and for his ability to reduce the principles of this pure form of light to a level comprehensible by the general public, and I might add, with great humor and enjoyment by his audience.

NOW WE “UNDERSTAND THE LASER REVOLUTION”

If you missed the Annual Dinner 2004 at The Olympic Collection on June 26th, you did not get to take the final exam at the end of the evening! Too bad, because Professor Shaoul “Ziggy” Ezekiel ’68, MIT Professor Emeritus of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, gave an exciting presentation that had all of the par-ticipants on the edge of their chairs and enjoying a lot of interaction with “Ziggy”.

The good news is that “Ziggy” simply gave out the answers to the final on “What’s so special about Laser Light?” which allowed the participants to come up with the questions themselves and, of course, we all ‘aced’ the final. Don’t we wish all of our MIT final exams had been that easy?

In the course of the presentation we found out how simple it is to understand what a laser is and how many applications exist around us that have an impact on our everyday life – from personal experience to hearing about the application of lasers in our daily exposure to the media. Ziggy explained: “What is a laser? It is an engi-neered light source” and in his special style of wit and ir-reverence he added “Einstein knew all about it, but he wasn’t an engineer.”

Professor “Ziggy” was honored at the end of the lecture with a first edition “MIT Club of Southern California” tee shirt – which, unfortunately, was not printed on a laser printer.

If you didn’t attend, we missed you, and you missed an exciting program.

age more of our alumni to become “elite” members, and to support the club thorough personal financial donations. In the end, if we are successful, we should expect to again see record numbers of events, record levels of participation and a solid financial reserve to see the club through future economic downturns.

YOUNG ALUM TRIP TO SAN ANTONIO WINERY

Before Prohibition, Los Angeles was home to a host of family-owned wineries. Passage of the 18th Amendment, however, spelled an end to this rich tradition for all except one: San Antonio Winery. On Saturday, August 28th, 16 young alums visited this historic site in Downtown Los Angeles to learn more about its history and to sample some of its renowned wines. San Antonio was allowed to remain open because it was the only vineyard granted a special permit to produce sacramental wines for local churches. San Antonio still produces wines for the church, with grapes grown in Northern and Central California. Gratefully, they are now also allowed to provide, for public consumption, a wonderful selection of fine wines bottled under the Ribboli Family, Maddelena, San Simeon, and La Quinta brands.

YOUNG ALUM NIGHT AT HOLLYWOOD BOWL

On Saturday, September 18th, 15 young alums and their guests were treated to a wonderful evening of music and dancing at the Hollywood Bowl. The late summer show centered around the theme The Sounds of Paris with music performed by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. The first half included a performance of the Gershwin classic American in Paris, while the second part of the program featured the American premier of Paris Combo. The quintet’s jazzy, seductive mix of cabaret music quickly captured the attention of all in attendance, and provided a perfect build up to the evening’s cancan dancing and fireworks finale. All Alumni in attendance looked forward to another outing to the Bowl next summer.

BIOTERRORISM SYMPOSIUMOn Saturday, September 11th, 30 members of the MIT Club of Southern California and the National Association of Science Writers gathered at UCLA for the first in a series of science lectures, with this one being a Symposium on Bioterrorism.

We were presented with interactive talks from two experts in the field - Dr. Michael Yeaman, a professor of medicine at UCLA and a researcher on biodefense, and Dr. Cary Presant, a nationally known oncologist.

Dr. Yeaman shared with us the pathogenic basis of terrorism, includ-ing the wide array of viruses and bacteria which could potentially be used by terrorists, as well as a sample case study of what can make such pathogens difficult to detect and track down.

Dr. Presant focused on the potential for terrorists to harness nuclear weapons, including ‘dirty’ bombs that utilize existing radioactive material and true nuclear bombs. We learned about both the physi-cal damage which could be inflicted by a dirty bomb, as well as the likely more devastating psychological impact of being unsure if you or your family was harmed and feeling vulnerable to future attacks.

It was a very informative afternoon on an anniversary that we will always remember. We hope you will be able to join us for our next session.

RECENT EVENTS

PALOMAR OSERVATORY TOURMembers and Guests of the MITCSC and the San Diego Club en-joyed a visit and insiders tour of the Palomar Observatory, located in north San Diego County, California. The Observatory is owned and operated by the California Institute of Technology, and supports the research of the Caltech faculty, post-doctoral fellows and students, and that of the researchers at Caltech’s collaborating institutions. The Palomar Observatory is home to the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking and Palomar-QUEST surveys. The principal instruments at Palomar are the 200-inch Hale Telescope, the 48-inch Oschin Telescope, the 18-inch Schmidt telescope, and the 60-inch reflecting telescope. By agreement, C a l t e c h shares use of the Hale Te le scope with astron-omers from C o r n e l l University and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

It was in-teresting to be given a guided tour of the 200-inch Hale telescope. Our guides pointed out how the observatory works and the steps that were taken in its construction to have the telescope independent of the building surrounding it and the equipment that is there now to facilitate taking advantage the age of digital photography.

About 80 Members and Guests made the trek to the top of the moun-tain and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the clear blue sky. All who participated appreciated the efforts of Gary Hsieh and Mark Connaughton ’80 in arranging and coordinating the tour.

role in shaping national science policy.”

James A. Champy, who chaired the presidential search committee for the MIT Corporation, said, “Dr. Hockfield emerged from a stel-lar field of candidates as the best person to lead MIT to new frontiers of innovation and leadership in research and education. She pos-sesses a rare combination of scientific achievement, outstanding managerial talent, and an extremely engaging personal style that will serve MIT’s faculty, students and staff very well.”

Among other priorities, Hockfield says she intends to use her new position to encourage collaborative work among MIT’s outstand-ing schools, departments, and interdisciplinary laboratories and centers to keep the Institute at the forefront of innovation. She sees MIT’s strength in engineering uniquely positioning the Institute to pioneer newly evolving, interdisciplinary areas and to translate them into practice.

Commenting on her election, Dr. Hockfield said, “Around the world, MIT stands as an emblem of discovery and innovation, produced through the scholarship of its outstanding faculty, students and graduates. From my first conversations in the search process, the Institute’s central themes – the pursuit of truth, integrity, and the great meritocracy – have resonated with my own core values. This remarkable community’s curiosity, intellectual commitment and passionate determination to solve problems have brought im-measurable benefit to humankind. It is an enormous honor and a very great privilege to have been selected to join this effort as MIT’s

next president.”

As Provost, she has ad-vanced Yale’s major initia-tives in science, medicine and engineering, which include a $500 million investment in new and renovated facilities for the sciences. She has encour-aged collaborative work throughout the university, bringing the humanities and the arts into new rela-tionships and encouraging interactions between the humanities and the sci-ences. She has also worked to enhance administrative services for the entire uni-versity.

Susan Hockfield received her bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Rochester in 1973, and earned a Ph.D. in anatomy and neuroscience from Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1979. She carried out postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Francisco. Prior to joining the Yale faculty, she was a Senior Staff Investigator at the Cold Spring Harbor laboratory, a research and educational institution focusing on cancer, neurobiol-ogy, plant genetics, genomics and bioinformatics.
