Justine Bennett was at the Bog? Yep! Homecoming this week? Yep!

Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone had a nice long and relaxing weekend!
As always, many of our IIT students have been going to downtown Chicago (our "backyard playground") to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. But here, right on campus, we've been having and will be having multiple activities going on!
Just take last Thursday for example...we had an awesome singer, Justine Bennett, come to Illinois Institute of Technology and perform at one of IIT's most prominent social areas, the BOG! Justine's angelic voice echoed gracefully throughout the BOG and her performance was simply beautiful, with a tinge of amusement in between! Simply great! Check out her website : http://justinebennett.com/

Finals are Coming, but so is Summer!

Hello Everyone!
As the semester here at IIT comes to an end, finals are approaching at great speeds. Everyone is starting to review and study and make sure they hit high marks on the finals. Although everyone is tensed up about the final exams, in their minds, everyone is looking to the time beyond, SUMMER! Once everyone is done with exams, many people will be travelling back home to spend time with family and friends and enjoy the long vacation! Now still others will be staying in Chicago to enjoy the summer and/or take a few extra summer classes to lighten up the load for next semester. IIT will be offering multiple courses throughout the summer for people who are interested, as well as internships in diverse fields of study.

Now here at the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the staff will be busy planning for the welcoming of our Fall 2009 students as well as helping these students arrive safely and happily to IIT. The Office of Undergraduate Admission will be open during Summer, so if you wish to visit us to talk to an Admission Counselor or want to go on a campus tour or you just want to see us for the fun of it, we'll be here!

All in all, everyone's going to be making this summer a productive and very memorable experience!


For the current students: study hard! And for future students: Welcome to IIT!

Have a great one everyone!
