Welcome Alumni and Former Faculty

Thank you for visiting The Institute of Optics’ Alumni web pages. This page was designed with your interests in mind. If you can’t find what you are looking for, please contact Betsy Benedict for assistance.

From The Institute’s home page you can explore the research endeavors of The Institute faculty, view students’ personal web pages, browse the listings on the job board, read the latest Institute news, see what events are on The Institute’s calendar, and learn more about the Industrial Associates Program or summer school. We hope the links on this page will be of particular interest to you, our alumni.

We are collecting information about our alumni for our archives. Hilda Kingslake took on this tremendous task for many decades. Brian Thompson is the unofficial “Kingslake archivist.” Now it is your turn. You don’t have to be famous to become a part of Institute history! Please e-mail Kathleen Worth any anecdotes, pictures, and interesting factoids from your time at The Institute or in the real world. Examples of submission items include funny stories (such as praying to the vacuum Gods, 21 Brighton Park, and Jose Petzval Taco parties), interesting facts or obscure trivia about an alum or faculty member, stories about entrepreneurial ventures during or after your UR years, and pictures (with descriptions) of your time at The Institute. If you have an object or anything else that you would like to donate to the archives, please let us know.

Keeping up on our "living legacy" is naturally highly desirable and therefore we invite you to contact Betsy Benedict to keep us up to date.
