Vice President for Enrollment Management

Illinois Institute of Technology, a private, world-class university focused on technology and innovation, seeks a new vice president for enrollment management.Founded in 1890, Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) was born differently. It grew from the promise of Minister Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus’s “Million Dollar Sermon”: to expand access to higher education and prepare students from all backgrounds to make a difference through technology-oriented learning. That founding promise remains evident in a mission centered on distinctive, relevant education that equips graduates for fulfilling lives and careers that address important problems. Within a supportive and collaborative community enriched by differences in thought, experience, and background, students are encouraged to realize their full potential. Illinois Tech is one of only five STEM-based institutions to receive an “Opportunity College and University” designation from the American Council on Education and Carnegie Foundation. The Wall Street Journal/College Pulse ranks it #1 in Illinois and #22 nationally for best graduate salaries. At the same time, the New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, Opportunity Insights, and Payscale have recognized its impact on social mobility and return on investment. This is a place where relevant education changes the course of students’ lives.As the Midwest’s tech university, Illinois Tech brings a professional and technology-oriented focus to undergraduate and graduate education in engineering, science, architecture, business, design, human sciences, computing, and law.

New research award funding eclipsed $50 million, a 50% increase over FY23. In FY24, research expenditure reached $40 million, reflecting rapidly growing research and development activity and a culture of innovation and excellence.Reporting to the president and overseeing a staff of 75+ across a portfolio that includes undergraduate and graduate admissions and operations, enrollment marketing and communications, pre-college programs, campus visits and recruitment events, financial aid, student financial services, and the Office of Global Services, the vice president will be expected to align enrollment marketing, recruitment, admissions, financial strategy, and enrollment operations with Illinois Tech’s academic priorities, mission, and long-term financial sustainability.Illinois Tech seeks a creative, mission-driven, and strategic vice president for enrollment management and student success to execute bold institutional transformation.
