“The IIT Story” is the working title of the manuscript. He wrote the memoirs based on his experiences as MSU-IIT’s top administrator from July 9, 1973 to March 22, 1988.
Boransing, known as the ‘father of IIT’ has been described as a visionary leader of a young Institute. Under his stewardship, he has been largely responsible for its expansion and growth.
The manuscript will be evaluated by OPI for possible publication. If published, the book of memoirs will be available to the IIT community and IIT alumni through the Alumni Office, now headed by former School of Computer Studies Dean Alquine Roy Taculin.
Boransing made a call to the employees and alumni to lend their photos about IIT so these can be digitized and used to illustrate his book and the planned book on the History of MSU-IIT.
These photos will be returned to their owners after these have been digitized. Or, digitized copies of these photos may be donated to the OPI. Call Ms. Loi at OPI tel 2228769.
