In the fall of 1997 a small group of students formed the Illinois Institute of Technology Skydiving Club. The first trip drew 30 people to take the plunge and make a skydive. The club now boasts more than 130 first time jumpers and 3 experienced jumpers. Through our efforts we have formed ties with Skydive Chicago , which has become our home drop zone. Any IIT student wishing to participate in this thrilling sport and experience the freedom of freefall is encouraged to contact us.
