<h3>About Harold Morrow Jr.</h3>Harold was always technically inclined and started showing signs of engineering aspirations after winning first and second place in school and district science fairs even before high school. While being raised in a middle-class family in Chicago’s southside, Harold learned the value of principled hard work and raising one’s potential regardless of what society says is and is not possible.Harold walked onto Illinois Tech's campus without any scholarships at first and took full advantage of any assistance that was offered. From visiting every professor at least once a month to attending extracurricular tutoring sessions with various upperclassmen from varying walks of life. Harold was able to have a summer internship for each year he was at Illinois Tech.He built a network of fellow students and faculty that allowed him to collaborate and get assistance when he needed it in any area of difficulty. Harold was not the smartest student in his class, but he was one of the most determined in taking what he knew and working hard to arrive at a solution. This “figure it out” attitude earned Harold his degree in 4.5 years!Harold has worked in many industries with most of his experience being in automotive design. He was able to complete one of his bucket list items of starting his own design company that ran for 5 years and achieved almost 1,000,000 gross revenues at the height of his tenure. This experience has given Harold real-world acumen to walk into many companies and provide immediate product development/project management services that exceed customer expectations. His experience in managing technical personnel has also garnered much visibility within his professional circles. Harold is excited to return to campus and share his story and engage with current students.
