Don Wrobleski’s Bequest to Create Travel Fund for Architecture Students
 |
For Don Wrobleski (ARCH ’54) the pivotal moment of his Illinois Tech education took place halfway around the world. It was while he was traveling through Italy, visiting historical and architectural landmarks, that he realized the impact his education would have on the rest of his life.
"It's extremely important for architecture students to travel," he says. "It's really important for them to see the history of the world and how architecture fits in." Hoping to give other students the clarity he himself found overseas, Wrobleski created an architectural travel fund at Illinois Tech through a bequest in his will.
"When you get out of school, you don't have much money,” Wrobleski says “It takes a while to build that up. I wanted to leave some money that architecture students could benefit from—something that could help ignite their careers."
