Tom Jacobius is the director of interprofessional studies and The Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program at Illinois Institute of Technology. His responsibilities are broadly directed toward developing new education programs that cut across the boundaries of professional programs and disciplines to advance IIT’s reputation as the interprofessional university and enrich the educational experience of all IIT students. He has developed and directed the IPRO program since 1995, and established the interprofessional team project course requirement as IIT’s signature educational experience for all undergraduates and involving all graduate programs as well. Jacobius also supports the development of related programs in entrepreneurship and leadership, and is working to develop additional exciting, formal pathways for undergraduates in project management, service learning and international experiences. As part of his responsibility, Jacobius markets the IPRO program to prospective sponsors and works closely with faculty and students to continuously enhance the value of the multidisciplinary IPRO student project team experience.
