Admissions Review Committee Needs You
We invite Alumni to apply to be a member of the IMSA Admissions Review Committee to aid in the esteemed task of selecting IMSA's class of 2024. Serving on the Admissions Review Committee is a two-day commitment, March 11-12, 2021 from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm (CT), and only those individuals able to dedicate both days to the process should apply. In order to ensure the health and safety of all involved, all meetings will be held virtually via the Zoom platform. If you would like to apply, please complete the Application Form by February 8, 2021. 

Persons serving on the Review Committee will be asked to critically evaluate applicants’ personal statements and demonstrated achievements, along with evaluations from their teachers and input from counselors and parents. As IMSA is committed to creating an equitable, diverse, and inclusive teaching and learning community, we seek committee members who are culturally competent, equity-minded, and student-centered, as discussed in our Equity and Excellence Policy.
  
If you have any questions about the Review Committee please call the Office of Admissions at (630) 907-5028 or email Vynnessa Winberg at vwinberg@imsa.edu. We greatly appreciate your consideration and hope that you will support the Academy by participating in this unique opportunity to change the lives of the future Class of 2024. 
Nominations are now open for the 2021 Board of Trustees Alumni Awards, including the Distinguished Leadership Award, Titan Award and Trailblazer Award. Nominations are open until Jan. 31st.
"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
We are grateful to have former Titans serve the IMSA community.
Thank you, Alumni!

Join the Crew!
We’d like to introduce you to our Titan Crews. Titan Crews were created to provide a space for students and faculty to foster relationships. Something is missing in our Crews and it is YOU! 
We invite Alumni to join us as part-time crew members. Your contributions would make a huge impact on our students.
