1 ILLINOIS MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE ACADEMY igniting and nurturing creative, ethical, scientific minds that advance the human condition Remarks by Sheila MB Griffin Commencement 5/30/15 Class of 2015 Good morning! My name is Sheila Griffin and I have the honor of serving as Chairman of the IMSA Board of Trustees. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, welcome to the Commencement of our 27th graduating class. As a founding member of the Board, I take great pride in honoring each class and in celebrating this special day with all of you. This is a long-awaited milestone for a remarkable group of young adults and for all who have invested in their academic, personal and social well-being. Family members and friends, faculty and staff, and Trustees and funders are all gathered here today to show you, our soon-to-be graduates, how very proud we are of you! This has been a remarkable year, demonstrated by exceptional achievements by you, our graduates, as well as Page 1 of 5

2 other members of the growing IMSA network. In your program today is a partial list of institutional and student achievements for the year. The list is by no means complete. It is only a sampling, but you can see that we, as IMSA, have much to celebrate as a community while honoring each and every graduate. The Board recognizes and appreciates the commitment of IMSA faculty and staff, students and parents, alumni and educational partners -- and the State of Illinois and private funders -- for believing in IMSA s mission and supporting our work. To the Class of 2015, and to all who are here today, pause and take a brief moment to soak it all in, and be proud of what we have accomplished together! (PAUSE) I now have the honor of introducing our Commencement speaker. Page 2 of 5

3 Dr. Jamie N. Jones describes herself as a scientist passionate about business models that can make our world a better place for all citizens. Her specialties include social entrepreneurship, impact investing, and connecting science and technology to commercial opportunities in emerging and developing markets. Her technical experience includes organometallic synthesis, nanoparticle functionalization, and small molecule crystallography. An Innovation Advisor for RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, Dr. Jones provides government, universities, nonprofits, and private clients with technology commercialization assessment, open innovation and technology-driven market intelligence services that result in growth opportunities for their business. Her current work includes a USAID program to strengthen research capacity in Filipino universities through stronger connections with the private sector as well as work for the Gates Foundation to support the global commercialization of dignified sanitation solutions. Page 3 of 5

4 Dr. Jones is an Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University where she previously served as the Director of Social Entrepreneurship. She is also the cofounder of Impact Engine, an impact venture accelerator at 1871 Chicago designed to support early-stage for-profit start-ups with an integrated social and/or environmental mission. She earned her MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, with majors in finance, biotechnology management and social enterprise. Prior to Kellogg, Dr. Jones was a product development chemist and worked in several areas including medical devices, wound care and material science. She earned her PhD in Chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin and BS in Chemistry from the University of Tennessee. Dr. Jones holds patents for functionalized nanoparticles and their use in particle/bulk material systems, has published in scientific journals and is a passionate advocate for STEM Page 4 of 5

5 teaching, learning, innovation and entrepreneurship, including reverse innovation and social entrepreneurship, as well as social impact investing. She is a strong example of what is possible at the intersections of scientific research, academia and entrepreneurship, which is where many of our current and future students will lead, and a most fitting speaker for us at this time in our history as Dr. Torres and others strengthen IMSA s leadership and programming in social entrepreneurship. It is with great pleasure and profound respect that I introduce Dr. Jamie Jones. (Lead Applause.) Dr. Jones speaks After Dr. Jones Commencement address: Dr. Jones, thank you for your remarks today. After the ceremony, we will present you with a token of our appreciation for your time during this very special day for our graduates. Thank you. (Lead Applause.) Page 5 of 5
