What do Mars rover missions, Twitter, and the Olympics have in common? IIT Alumni Award recipients helped make them happen.

Your help is needed to identify nominees for the 2016 Alumni Awards. Since 1946, Alumni Awards have been presented to Illinois Tech’s most accomplished, innovative, and influential alumni. Each year, awards are presented in nine categories.

The opportunity to honor alumni from around the world would not be possible without the efforts of our campus partners like you.

Visit the Office of Alumni Relations to learn more and to submit nominations. The submission deadline is Saturday, October 31, 2015.

If you plan to make a nomination, please notify Kellie Fields, director of alumni programs, of your intentions as soon as possible so that she can help guide you through the nomination process. Any questions also may be directed to her at 312.567.3049 or kfields5@iit.edu.

The 2016 Alumni Awards ceremony will take place on Mies Campus on Friday, April 29, 2016. We hope you will consider joining us that day to honor the award recipients.
