Community Service

Campus Life hosts service learning and community service opportunities throughout the year. These allow you to get involved in the community, to meet fellow students outside of the classroom, and to put your values into practice.

“I am treasurer of Illinois Tech’s Hyperloop club. Our organization is designing and building a small, high-speed transportation pod that is modeled after Elon Musk’s Hyperloop Pod idea. This group has allowed me to learn about new concepts and get additional hands-on experience outside of the classroom. Being the treasurer has given me the opportunity to learn about the business side of a project as well."

“I’m very involved with the university’s newspaper, TechNews, Illinois Tech’s chapter of the Society of Physics Students, and Writers at Illinois Tech (WaIT). Illinois Tech has a large variety of student organizations, and even if you are looking for something that isn’t there, it’s quite straightforward to start your own! I created WaIT during my freshman year, and it’s become a great place for writers to gather together.”
