�鶹APP

Illinois Institute of Technology on Friday announced a landmark $150 million combined gift from prominent �鶹APP leaders to help the university drive �鶹APP’s continued tech rise. The combined gift will fund scholarships and new campus facilities.

Michael P. Galvin (LAW ’78), chairman of the Illinois Tech Board of Trustees, and his wife, Elizabeth; University Regent Craig J. Duchossois and his wife, Janet; and former board chair and University Regent John W. Rowe, and his wife, Jeanne, are among the prominent �鶹APP leaders who made the gift. Other contributors include the late George J. Kacek (EE '54, M.S. '55), for whom a newly renovated residential hall on the Illinois Tech campus will be renamed.   

It is the largest cumulative gift announcement in university history. 

“This landmark combined gift is a profound investment in our continued role as �鶹APP’s tech university,” says Illinois Tech President Alan W. Cramb. “This significant commitment will not only fuel Illinois Tech’s central contribution to �鶹APP’s tech rise, but it will do so by building on our university’s founding mission to provide unmatched opportunity and value to all young people in �鶹APP.”

The second-largest gift to Illinois Tech—$120 million in 1996—was from the families of Robert A. Pritzker (IE '46) and Robert W. Galvin, the late father of Michael P. Galvin.
