Momentum is Indiana Tech's comprehensive fundraising campaign which started with a goal of $19 million and is now working toward a goal of $25 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.
When Bob Gill’s service in the U.S. Navy was completed, he enrolled at Indiana Tech, earning his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in the accelerated 9-term program, graduating in 1960. Packing a four-year engineering degree into 27 months resulted in an intense appreciation for education. “Take in as much as you can, as fast as you can,” was the way the program worked, he says. “And that’s still good advice.”
While working at Magnavox Electronics Systems Co., Bob went on to earn two master’s degrees. He says his master’s in engineering from Purdue University taught him much about the theory that underpins the practice, and his MBA from Pepperdine University taught him about people, behavior and business. But it was the foundation at Tech that taught him the real “how to” of engineering that got his career off to such a successful start. “Magnavox was a company that rated Indiana Tech very highly,” he says. Some of Bob’s favorite memories of Tech revolve around the hands-on classes that have been a big part of his accomplishments.
“I had wonderful professors at Indiana Tech. They had practical knowledge. I loved every single class,” Bob says.
Because of this great affinity for education, and for Indiana Tech, Bob and his wife, Lois, made a substantial commitment to the university’s Scholars Leadership Program.
This year, Bob celebrates 48 years in the corporate world, where he has specialized in general management, operations and engineering for high technology, emerging growth corporations. He has been the CEO of five different companies and is now the principal officer of the Topaz Group. In his spare time, Bob is the executive in residence and chairman of the executive board at the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado and is chairman of the Boulder Innovation Center.
Bob and Lois say they find it very gratifying to provide scholarships that will help students at Indiana Tech emerge as leaders on campus and in society. - Bob and Lois Gill
