In many respects the Beckman Institute evolved from the scientific and technological strengths and culture of the Urbana-Champaign campus. In other ways, however, it changed the campus profoundly. Interdisciplinary collaboration and the capacity to attract exciting new faculty talent had long been a part of the Illinois tradition, but the Beckman Institute made a profound difference that endures today. --from the foreword by Stanley O. Ikenberry, Regent Professor and President Emeritus of the University of Illinois
