- William_W._Destler abstract "William Wallace Destler (born August 26, 1946) is an American university professor and administrator. He is currently serving as the 9th president of the Rochester Institute of Technology and has held the position since July 1, 2007, succeeding Albert J. Simone.Previously, Destler was provost and senior vice president for student affairs at the University of Maryland, College Park from 2001 to 2007. He also served as a professor of electrical engineering in the college of engineering, dean of the graduate school (1999–2001), and dean of the engineering school (1994–1997) at Maryland.Destler received his bachelor's degree from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 1968, and his applied physics PhD from Cornell University in 1972. His research specialized in "high-power microwave sources and advanced accelerator technologies". He is married to Rebecca Johnson; they have two sons.Destler is "one of the world’s foremost collectors of antique banjos;" the number of instruments in his collection is purportedly more than 160. Destler is also an amateur folk musician and is a founding member of the Baltimore Folk Music Society. Destler released his only record in 1973, "September Sky". People in Asia, and specifically Korea, have recently shown an increased interest in the record.More recently, Destler has gained an interest in hybrid and electric vehicles. His own vehicles, including a Toyota Prius and a Chevy Volt, are often on display during RIT's innovation festival, where Destler is more than happy to personally explain the technology behind the vehicles.In 2010, he approved the termination of RIT's quarter system, effectively switching the school to a semester system beginning in 2013. The decision was favored by the voting members of faculty and staff inside the Saunders College of Business, B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing & Information Sciences, College of Imaging Arts & Sciences, College of Liberal Arts, National Technical Institute for the Deaf, College of Science, Staff Council, and the RIT Student Government. It was opposed by voting members of the College of Applied Science & Technology, the Kate Gleason College of Engineering, the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, and the College of Science. 64% of students participating in an online poll voted to remain on the quarter system, while 18% voted for the semester system.".
