The CAEE Department had a gathering as a tribute to Professor John O'Leary's thirty years of service to the university. This event was on Friday April 09, 2010 and was held in Alumni Memorial Hall, the home of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering. We can only say that the event was a complete success. Many and many people attended the event - his current and former students, professors from all over the campus, many co-workers, colleagues and friends. The success of the event was a testimony to how everyone has benefitted from John's dedication to education and service to IIT. John has decided to retire. He will leave IIT in September 2010 to pursue his life in retirement. We will certainly miss him and wish him luck.
Jamshid Mohammadi, CAEE Chairman
