Ivy Tech day set for April 21

Ivy Tech Hamilton County’s annual Ivy Tech Day, a statewide day of giving, is set for April 21. The Hamilton County Commissioners declared the day as Hamilton County’s celebration of Ivy Tech and will light the courthouse green in celebration. The campus will highlight the impact of philanthropy and support students pursuing education and training for in-demand careers. “Ivy Tech Day is a day where the community comes together and supports opportunities for students,” said Rachel Kartz, chancellor of Ivy Tech Hamilton County. “All of the dollars raised on that day go directly to supporting students in our Area of Greatest Needs fund.” Stephannie Bailey, president of the Ivy Tech Foundation, said the day is a big moment each year for everyone associated with the college. “People across the state come together to support our students, celebrate our alumni and enhance the impact we have in Indiana,” Bailey stated. “Ivy Tech Day is a moment where we can celebrate our successes and nurture the opportunities ahead. We look forward to alumni and friends joining us on this special day.” Ivy Tech Hamilton County has set a goal to raise $45,000 in unrestricted support this year. “Indiana communities rely on Ivy Tech to produce a workforce that will support their community workforce needs for decades to come,” stated Marty Pollio, president of Ivy Tech Community College. “We are excited to join hands with our friends and supporters to grow what we’ve started.” The Hamilton County campus has embraced the theme “Hog Wild for Ivy Tech,” celebrating its campus mascot. Throughout the day, supporters are encouraged to share messages on social media and participate in giving challenges. In addition to online giving, the campus will host an on-site celebration from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring a bracelet bar, games provided by SERVE Village, food and music, among other activities.
