Since its founding three years ago, the College of Computing has grown to become the largest college on campus with over 3000 students. As we move to a world of computing driven by data and artificial intelligence, the college and the whole university needs to adjust to quickly changing technological trends.

One of the pillars for the College of Computing is, to paraphrase Frank Gunsalus, provide students of all backgrounds meaningful roles in a changing technological society. Illinois Tech has a long history of providing a tech education to students who might not normally have that opportunity. Your gift helps us address this mission to ensure our students, in the college and across the university, have the right tools and skills to succeed in this new world.

Your gift also provides several opportunities for students to gain experience beyond the classroom, including university initiatives such as Elevate and our signature IPRO program. Inside the college, our SoReMo (Socially Responsible Modeling, Computation, and Design) program helps students develop projects to support the local community, and the SURE program convenes diverse students to participate in research opportunities within the Applied Math program. Most notably is our annual Grainger Computing Innovation Prize, now in its third year, funded by a generous endowment from The Grainger Foundation. This competition inspires students to use computing and data technology to meet societal needs.
