elcome to Illinois Institute of Technology’s 153rd
Commencement Exercise. The university community
extends cordial greetings to the families and friends who
are celebrating this culmination of years of formal study.
For 1,899 students, today’s ceremony officially recognizes their academic
accomplishments during the 2021–22 academic year and inaugurates a new
era in their lives. With a broad foundation of both intellectual capability and
experiential learning that characterizes an Illinois Tech education, these
graduates also take with them a sound understanding of contemporary
society and its values as they join thousands of other Illinois Tech alumni.

2Academic Regalia
Much of the American academic ceremonial apparel is derived from
that worn at British universities, particularly Oxford University.
When Oxford was granted a charter in 1241, its members wore clerical
garb because of the close connection between the university and the
church. Academic apparel for colleges and universities in America
was first introduced at Williams College in 1887. The Intercollegiate
Commission drafted the first uniform code in 1895.
The bachelor’s gown is untrimmed, with long pointed sleeves, and is
worn closed. The master’s gown has long, crescent-shaped sleeves and
may be worn open or closed. The doctor’s gown has velvet facing down
the front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves. The velvet
is either black or the color of the major field of study. For years, most
gowns were black, but today most American institutions have followed
the British custom of using red or college colors.
The hood is the most important and distinctive feature of the American
system. It was originally intended as a head cover and shoulder cape.
The color of the trim indicates the degree field; for example, purple is
law, orange is engineering, lavender is architecture. The length of the
hood and the width of the trim indicate the degree earned, the doctor’s
hood being the longest and having the widest trim. The color or colors
of the hood lining indicate the degree-granting institution. The Illinois
Institute of Technology hood lining has the school colors, a single gray
chevron on a scarlet field.
3Honorary Degree Recipient and Commencement Speaker
John P. Calamos Sr. (ECON ’63/M.B.A. ’70)
Founder, chairman, and global chief investment officer, Calamos Investments
Honorary Doctor of Management Science, honoris causa
John P. Calamos Sr. is chairman and global chief investment officer of Calamos
Investments, the firm he founded in 1977. With origins as an institutional convertible
bond manager, Calamos Investments has grown into a global asset management firm with
institutional and individual clients worldwide. Headquartered in Naperville, Illinois, the
firm also has offices in New York, San Francisco, Milwaukee, and the Miami area.
Calamos established research and investment processes centered on a team-based
approach designed to deliver superior risk-adjusted performance over full market cycles
through a range of United States and global investment solutions, including equity, fixed
income, convertible, and alternative strategies. As a pioneer in convertible securities,
Calamos launched one of the first convertible funds in 1985 as a way to manage risk for clients in volatile times.
He also established one of the first liquid alternative funds in 1990, reflecting a focus on innovation that continues
to this day. Calamos has built a reputation for using investment techniques to control risk, preserve capital, and
build wealth for clients over the long term.
With more than 50 years of industry experience, he is often quoted as an authority on risk-managed investment
strategies, markets, and the economy. He is a frequent speaker at investment conferences around the world and
appears regularly on CNBC, Bloomberg TV, and Fox Business Channel. He has authored two books, Investing
in Convertible Securities: Your Complete Guide to the Risks and Rewards and Convertible Securities: The Latest
Instruments, Portfolio Strategies, and Valuation Analysis.
Prior to entering the investment industry, Calamos served in the U.S. Air Force. During the Vietnam War, he
served as a forward air controller, with responsibilities for guiding accurate air strikes and preventing injuries to
friendly troops. His squadron was the first to fly the Cessna O-2, an aircraft in which he recorded more than 400
missions in combat. Calamos was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for “extraordinary achievement while
participating in aerial flight under heavy hostile attack.” His Air Force career included five years of active duty
flying B-52 bombers and 12 years in the reserves flying A-37 jet fighters. He retired as a major.
The son of Greek immigrants, Calamos is an active philanthropist supporting educational institutions and
Hellenic organizations. He serves as chairman of the Board of Directors for the National Hellenic Museum in
Chicago. He is an investment committee member of the Faith Endowment, and a supporting member of the
National Hellenic Society, Leadership 100, and the Hellenic Initiative.
In addition to receiving many awards for his accomplishments as an entrepreneur, he has been honored for his
lifetime philanthropic contributions by organizations including the Panarcadian Federation of America and
the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association. He was inducted as an archon of the Ecumenical
Patriarchate with the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle in 2015. Calamos was the first Vietnam veteran to receive
the Jaharis Service Award from the Washington Oxi Day Foundation. In his honor, the foundation established the
Calamos Service Award to specifically recognize a Vietnam veteran every year.
Calamos received a B.A. in economics and an M.B.A. in finance from Illinois Institute of Technology, where
he has established endowed chairs in philosophy and business and is also a member of the Board of Trustees.
He received an honorary doctorate in humanities from Hellenic College Holy Cross.
4Honorary Degree Recipient
Fred Eychaner
Honorary Doctor of Architecture, honoris causa
Fred Eychaner is a longtime activist whose work has benefitted
Chicago and the nation for more than 40 years.
Eychaner is chairman of Newsweb LLC and president
of Alphawood Foundation Chicago, and is known for his
philanthropy, especially in support of LGBTQ organizations,
HIV support organizations, arts institutions, public spaces, and
historic preservation.
He has also had a lifelong dedication to preserving the
architectural heritage of Chicago and the United States. He led efforts in the 1990s to
restore and protect Louis Sullivan’s masterpiece Auditorium Theatre. Under Eychaner’s
leadership, the Alphawood Foundation led the comprehensive restoration of Frank
Lloyd Wright’s Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois.
Before his death, Louis Kahn designed Four Freedoms Park to honor President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt on Roosevelt Island in the East River of New York across
from the United Nations. The project floundered for many years until Eychaner and
Alphawood stepped in to provide funding and technical support to staff the organization
and to become the lead donor in realizing Kahn’s amazing vision.
Eychaner sought Tadao Ando, now considered Japan’s preeminent Modernist architect,
for Ando’s first project in North America in the early 1990s, and in 2018, completed the
construction of another Ando-designed project, Wrightwood 659 art gallery.
President Barack Obama appointed Eychaner a general trustee of the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts in September 2010 and reappointed him in 2016.
Eychaner is one of the first openly gay members of that board. Eychaner served as
co-chair of the Kennedy Center’s Architect Selection Committee and is a member of its
building committee.
Eychaner is a former board member of the Illinois ACLU, an early board member and
leader of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, and a founding board member and former
chairman of the Joffrey Ballet. He also serves on the board of the Art Institute of
Chicago, as a trustee of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, and on the visiting
committee for Asian Art of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In 2015
Eychaner was inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame.
5Undergraduate Student Speaker
Nashita Syeda
Candidate for the Degrees of Bachelor of Science in Biology and
Bachelor of Science in Psychological Science
Psychology has always sparked excitement in Nashita Syeda;
she is fascinated by how the brain grows and develops. Before
high school graduation she set her mind on enrolling in the
best university biology and psychology program with a pre-med
path, thinking she would follow her family members down a
medical path.
But plans changed. Sitting in commuter traffic during her
second year at Illinois Tech, Syeda realized the pre-med path
wasn’t the future she wanted. Instead, she was more interested
in a different direction that her degree program could take her, specifically in child
psychology and research, saying she was “amazed at how their little minds and brains
become [those of] functional adults.”
Syeda’s capstone project was in child developmental psychology, and she wants to
pursue her research through graduate school. She has applied to several programs
across the country, although she has options to work in a more clinical setting if she
isn’t accepted into a program this year.
As a commuter student from the Chicago suburbs, Syeda initially hadn’t planned to
build a bustling social life and had thought she would approach college for an education
only. But before she knew it, she says, she realized there was more to Illinois Tech
than courses and began building a friend group. She now attends the Women in STEM
student organization meetings.
Syeda was on the Dean’s List nearly every year of her Illinois Tech journey. Her student
team won first place in the Community Lab portion of the fall 2021 Interprofessional
Projects (IPRO) Program Innovation Day after successfully presenting a marketing
plan to the owners of a Bronzeville neighborhood ice cream shop. She was also a
Martin Cooper Endowed Scholar.
She has volunteered or worked at several child-focused therapy facilities since 2018.
Currently, she works at BY YOUR SIDE – Autism Therapy Services as a behavior
technician, where she uses applied behavior analysis to help children on the autism
spectrum reach social, academic, and developmental goals. She is also a volunteer
reader at John B. Drake Elementary School.
6Graduate Student Speaker
Henry White
Candidate for the Degrees of Bachelor of Science in Aerospace
Engineering and Master of Public Policy and Administration
Growing up in rural Colorado taught Henry White the
importance of a tight-knit community. After graduating high
school with a class of 20 students, he wanted to move to an
urban area while holding on to that sense of community.
White chose aerospace engineering—“I can’t imagine anything
cooler than making things fly”—and also signed up for the public
policy and administration master’s program. He wanted to drive
strategic goal-making decisions in the aerospace business or
interface with government agencies, and these two degrees, part
of university’s Accelerated Master’s Program, will help him achieve that goal, he says.
Many Illinois Tech students owe White thanks, as he has consistently worked to help
his peers through campus organizations, including the Academic Resource Center and
Office of Campus Life. “I found out that my best self is when I can help fellow students,”
White says.
Much of White’s college career can be summed up in three words: Sigma Phi Epsilon.
“A lot of the lessons I learned at Illinois Tech were best exemplified in that environment.
It’s where I discovered what to get out of college,” he says.
While serving in student government during his first year, he learned that the
fraternity’s main office wanted to revive the local fraternity chapter. White became
instrumental in creating a three-year strategic plan to recharter the organization.
He served as president in addition to spending time in student government, serving
two years on the Student Government Association’s executive board. He was also a
Duchossois Leadership Scholar.
He earned the Talon Award for Greek Leader of the Year in 2021 due to his strong ties
with SigEp. He was on the Dean’s List nearly every year of his college career.
His passion for Sigma Phi Epsilon caught the attention of the fraternity’s national
leaders, who offered White his first job after graduation. He will spend a year traveling
the country consulting with dozens of local fraternity chapters. He plans to use this
as a springboard toward a consulting role with a firm specializing in aerospace and
government consulting.

“The Star-Spangled Banner”
Lyrics by Francis Scott Key, Arrangement by Jaret Landon
Performed by Virginia Foster, Assistant Vice President of HEA Compliance and Title IX Compliance Coordinator
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
