In honor of Veterans Day on Wednesday, November 11, Illinois Tech is sharing a special interview with University Regent Craig Duchossois, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps.

In the interview, Mr. Duchossois reflects on his own military service and that of his father, Richard Duchossois, a World War II veteran who served in Europe as a tank destroyer commander in the U.S. Army. The conversation is led by Nicole Beebe, interim dean of the College of Tech Futures and an Air Force veteran. 

As we commemorate Veterans Day, Illinois Tech proudly honors the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of those who have served in our nation’s armed forces. We extend our deepest gratitude to all veterans, including the members of our own university community, whose service and dedication exemplify the values of leadership, integrity, and perseverance and whose contributions continue to make a lasting impact on our communities and our country.
