Valpo Ivy News – April 2022

New Program Catalog Tells All You Need to Know

Rachel Scanlon, assistant director of admissions, made Ivy Tech Community College proud last month as she was a speaker at the Indiana Association of College Admissions Counseling (INACAC) Conference in Indianapolis. She presented on “Becoming a Change Advocate.” Rachel continues to be a significant voice at the state level for college admissions.

The Ivy Tech Foundation is hosting the eighteenth annual Spring Fundraiser! The event is being accompanied by an online auction beginning Tuesday, April 5 and ending the evening of April 10. Auction items were donated by Ivy Tech Faculty and Staff as well as businesses across Northwest Indiana. To view and bid on items, visit https://event.gives/ivyauction2022.

Care for Ivy Tech’s students by visiting us at the Aberdeen Manor in Valparaiso on April 9 or at Theo’s Steakhouse in Highland on April 10 from 12 to 3 p.m.

For the students!

“The mission of the Ivy Tech Foundation is to invest in our students, thus building stronger communities and supporting economic growth,” Hall said. “I continue to have the privilege of hearing from students who are directly impacted by various circumstances, even before COVID, and who were given the opportunity to complete their studies as a result of this fundraising initiative. COVID did not cancel education. It just caused us to rethink how we do business. This event is a triple win. It supports students, supports our local venues, and allows our friends to have a lovely meal with a small gathering in the convenience of their own home.”

Campus Cupboard and Career Closet open to students

It’s hard to believe, but Ivy Tech is already gearing up for another Spring commencement in-person at the Valparaiso Campus. Our students have been working extra hard, especially over the past few years, to reach this moment of their graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 14 at 10:30 a.m. As the Valparaiso chancellor, I will be walking with them at our main campus, and I couldn’t be prouder to do so. Please join us.
