Give Now
Carlo Segre, Duchossois Leadership Professor and professor of physics, has been at Illinois Tech for 32 years. Since joining the faculty in 1983, he can’t remember a time when he felt as optimistic about Illinois Tech’s future as he does now.
He knows he’s not alone: “I can see it in the students. I can see it in the faculty.”
Segre helped to make a difference at Illinois Tech as a founder of the Center for Synchrotron Radiation Research and Instrumentation (CSRRI). Now it’s recognized as one of the best places to do research in the country.
He also has cooperated in running Illinois Tech’s regional and international bridge building contests for high school students since 1993. “We get kids from all over interested in architecture and engineering,” he says.
When asked what he would tell other Illinois Tech employees to convince them to make a gift on IIT Giving Day, Segre has an immediate answer:
“I look at it this way: I’m very blessed. Those of us whose careers and lives have benefited from Illinois Tech need to give back and make sure other people will have those same benefits.
“I believe in Illinois Tech, and I want to make it a better place.”
