"Fueling Innovation": The Campaign for IIT
Illinois Institute of Technology is proud to provide an update on the successful start of a six-year university fundraising campaign, which began officially on June 1, 2010. Currently in its leadership and planning phase, IIT has garnered more than $82 million in pacesetting gifts from alumni and non-alumni supporters, which provide tremendous momentum for the larger campaign.
In February, the IIT Board of Trustees unveiled the theme “Fueling Innovation. The Campaign for IIT,” which captures the university’s unique promise to produce innovative graduates through IIT’s distinctive education program and address urgent global challenges through innovative research and scholarship.
Two alumni trustees lead the national campaign as co-chairs: Alan “Bud” Wendorf (ME ’71) and Joel Krauss (MATH ’71).
Wendorf and Krauss, along with the Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees, work alongside IIT President John Anderson and the Office of Institutional Advancement to provide leadership for campaign activity and to set strategy. Priorities and specific funding opportunities will be announced soon, and the philanthropic investment of the campaign will tie directly to the university’s strategic plan, Many Voices, One Vision.
Every gift helps strengthen IIT and supports the achievement of the strategic plan. Please consider making a gift to IIT today. Click here.
