manifest: shaping future leaders
In a world that is often tragically unpredictable, the development of leaders capable of
meeting great challenges becomes a moral necessity. Illinois Institute of Technology’s
legacy of educating leaders has provided a foundation for its future growth.
At IIT, we truly believe that we can transform lives and invent the future—a future
that, despite the horrors of September 11, 2001, is within our ability to shape. Over the
past five years, we have taken steps to invigorate this promise for a new century. Over
the next five years, we recommit to delivering the kinds of programs and experiences
that business, industry and science are demanding in this increasingly complex,
interconnected—and frequently fragile—world.
