Illinois Tech loves this time of year because it’s when we begin to send future Scarlet Hawks their admittance letters to our university.

This year we’re taking our congratulations to the next level by emailing newly admitted students a fun “I Got In” welcome video featuring current Illinois Tech students. New admits also will receive a package in the mail that includes Illinois Tech pins and confetti so that they can make and share their own celebratory videos—just like our current students made for them.

The party doesn’t have to stop with new and current students. You can make your own video welcoming future Scarlet Hawks to the Illinois Tech family. Just create a short video congratulating future students and telling them why you love being a part of the Illinois Tech community.

Post your video (or photo) to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram using the hashtag #ichoseillinoistech

Your own welcome and congratulations can play a role in helping us to attract the next great class of students to our university. Help us welcome them with pride.

Watch the “I Got In” video here.

Be sure to check out videos from other faculty and staff, alumni, and current students, too.
