2007 Recipient
 Caterpillar
Inc.
Caterpillar Inc. has been and continues
to be an important partner to UIC,
and plays a significant role in
several Colleges, including Engineering,
Business Administration and Liberal
Arts and Sciences. In conjunction
with the College of Engineering,
for example, Peoria-based Caterpillar
participates in National Engineers
Week events as a sponsor; is present
at the College’s job fairs;
and offers both internships and
co-op placements. Caterpillar also
helps underwrite the cost of UIC’s
Engineering Alumni Association’s
Career Prep Days and allows its
employees who are UIC alumni to
serve as volunteer mentors to mechanical,
industrial and electrical students.
Caterpillar supports the College’s
Minority Engineering Recruitment
and Retention Program, as well as
its Pre-College and University Pipeline
Program. In March 2006, Caterpillar
sponsored a table at a fundraising
gala held by the newly established
UIC student chapter of Engineers
Without Borders and encouraged its
employees/UIC alumni to attend.
In addition to partnering with the
College of Engineering, Caterpillar
has provided scholarships to students
in the Colleges of Business Administration
and Liberal Arts and Sciences.
