Indira Saladi

Letter from Alumni Board Chair Bob Hoel

As an Illinois Institute of Technology alumnus and trustee, it is my greatest honor to serve as the next chair of the Illinois Tech Alumni Association Board of Directors. I must first acknowledge the remarkable leadership of former board Chair Sherrie Littlejohn (M.S. CS ’82), whose inspiring service to our institution began long before she took on this role nearly four years ago. I am eager to build upon the foundation that she—and the many other great leaders before her—established at the university.

Each moment is like a stone being dropped into a body of water; it creates an awe-inspiring pattern that keeps multiplying and expanding outward.

An Update from the Alumni Board Chair Sherrie Littlejohn

As my term as chair of your Illinois Tech Alumni Association comes to an end, our university looks very different than when I began. We have a new president, and will soon have a new provost. We have new colleges, refreshed student residence halls, new scholarships, and new programs to help engage students from local, national, and global communities.
