| SHIMER COLLEGE'S LOCATION |  |  |
On January 17, 2006, the Shimer College Board of Trustees voted to accept an invitation from Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to expand its operations to IIT’s main campus in Chicago beginning in the Fall, 2006 academic term.
| | According to Shimer President William Craig Rice. ‘IIT’s invitation to Shimer proved attractive because the two institutions have much to offer each other academically and intellectually,’ Rice said. ‘Shimer will strengthen the liberal arts on the university’s campus, reinvigorate the Great Books tradition with deep roots in Chicago, and Shimer students will benefit from IIT’s strengths in science and technology,’ he added. | | |
