Illinois Institute of Technology has initiated an updated version of its 'You, Elevated' campaign to highlight the accomplishments of its students and reaffirm its status as a leading tech-focused institution in Chicago. The new campaign introduces students from diverse backgrounds, representing all seven of Illinois Tech’s colleges, through digital and outdoor advertisements on platforms including Chicago Transit Authority buses and trains. These students come from various parts of the globe, pursuing degrees in disciplines such as architecture, law, engineering, and business.
The campaign underscores Illinois Tech's commitment to providing students with tangible, real-world experiences through its Elevate program, which ensures students receive career-building opportunities essential for future success. "Illinois Tech is deeply committed to equipping students with the tools, knowledge, and experiences they need to thrive in the real world, and the You, Elevated campaign is a powerful reflection of that commitment and dedication," remarked Mallik Sundharam, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs at Illinois Tech.
Furthermore, Illinois Tech recently unveiled the Illinois Tech Purpose Scholarship, designed for in-state students exhibiting high performance, covering full-time tuition and fees for those with an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less.
Additionally, the strategic location of Illinois Tech in Chicago offers students direct exposure to the city's industries and employers. Chelsea Kalberloh Jackson, associate vice president for marketing and communications at Illinois Tech, stated, “World-class students are Illinois Tech’s greatest asset, which is why we’ve chosen to center them in the You, Elevated campaign. By featuring students in their own words and through their own work, this campaign not only celebrates their achievements, but also reinforces Illinois Tech’s role as a launchpad for the next generation of innovators, leaders, and changemakers.”
