Athletic Infrastructure The university is investing in high-profile athletic facilities in Chicago, including a $42.4M basketball practice facility and an athletic center, indicating a willingness to explore partnerships or sponsorships, training programs, and multimedia/venue solutions tied to campus facilities.

Campus Modernization Athletic and infrastructure investments coincide with broader campus modernization efforts, creating opportunities for technology vendors, facility management solutions, security and access technologies, and digital signage to support large-scale renovations.

Digital & Data With a tech stack that includes Sitecore, SAS, and data-focused tools, there is potential for partnerships in marketing automation, analytics, student recruitment optimization, and personalized engagement platforms to enhance student and donor outreach.

Public-Interest & Partnerships Strong emphasis on public service and collaboration with other institutions (e.g., partnerships with Lewis University and universities like URI) signals opportunities for joint program administration platforms, grant management solutions, and cross-institutional IT or compliance tools.

Well-Being & Engagement Active focus on student-athlete well-being and notable athletic leadership recognition suggests demand for wellness tech, mental health support platforms, student engagement apps, and scalable communication tools for student-athlete programs.
