Looking to the future: it's been a defining characteristic of this university since it was founded more than a century and a half ago. Our students, faculty, and staff have accomplished wonderful feats in the past year, and you'll read about some of these exciting stories in the pages that follow. The talented people you'll meet in this report have something else in common: their eyes are on the future. Like the UI itself, they're already thinking about what's out there, beckoning us - just over the next horizon.
