These efforts and initiatives are driven by a dedicated and talented team of academic and administrative leaders, including deans, vice provosts, and key faculty and professional staff who are committed to furthering Illinois Tech in its mission as an opportunity engine for all and a beacon of inclusive excellence and impact.
