Momentum is Indiana Tech's comprehensive fundraising campaign with a goal of $19 million.
There's a force at work at Indiana Tech, a force created by movement toward a common goal. This force is the momentum that will attract the intellectual, creative, and financial capital Indiana Tech needs to forge ahead.
Indiana Tech has made great strides in expanding programs and services, and we are on the path to becoming a comprehensive university built on academic excellence. This journey is not an easy one, however. It takes hard work and financial resources to achieve our goal. The university has the talent and the spirit to provide the hard work. But we need your help to supply the financial resources.
Please join us on our journey. You can accelerate excellence at Indiana Tech by helping to build our Momentum.
Don and Doris Willis love Fort Wayne and believe in investing in the community. They believe that with enough entrepreneurial spirit, educational opportunities and technical knowledge among the people that live in Fort Wayne, it can become the most desirable city in the country. And they believe that Indiana Tech is in a strong position to help make that happen.
Don and Doris believe so fervently in Indiana Tech that they have agreed to be the co-chairs of the Momentum campaign, and they have made a substantial leadership contribution. Don has further demonstrated his support for Tech by serving on the Board of Trustees since 2004. He is currently vice chairman.
After earning his BSEE/Research degree from the University of Evansville, Don worked as an engineer at Magnavox Electronics Systems Co. for 22 years. Then, he formed Command Systems, Inc., which specialized in defense industry command and control software. Thirteen years later, he sold the company to defense contractor General Dynamics.
Now, Don is chairman of FourthWave, LLC, a holding company for subsidiaries SentryPoints, MetroMetrics, and VersiTech. He is also president of FourD Development, LLC and of the FourD Education Foundation, which he envisions will develop better approaches to teaching our nation's elementary and secondary students. He was instrumental in creating the Keystone Schools for grades K–12 and in bringing Imagine Charter Schools for grades K–7 to Fort Wayne.
Don and Doris are very passionate about education. “Strong schools are the key to a strong nation,” Don says. “I want to see education in our local school systems and throughout the U.S. improve, and I believe Indiana Tech can play a major role in preparing graduates to accomplish that.
“The Momentum campaign embodies our vision for propelling students forward so that Tech graduates may acquire not only significant career opportunities for their own future well-being, but that they may also promote the future well-being of our nation.”
