The Ivy Tech Foundation recently recognized 19 Benefactor Award winners at its Distinguished Alumni Awards Ceremony last week.
Locally, the Hamilton County Community Foundation was among those recognized.
During this event, the Foundation honors individuals, corporations, and foundations from Indiana who have considerably impacted Ivy Tech communities and students. The award celebrates the gifts and volunteer service that has been contributed to the College.
“Our Benefactors make a powerful difference in the lives of our students,” Ivy Tech Foundation President Courtney Roberts said. “Their contributions ensure that our graduates are better prepared for life after college, and we are deeply grateful for their investment in Ivy Tech.”
“The passion our Benefactors have for Ivy Tech students is unmatched,” Ivy Tech Community College President Dr. Sue Ellspermann said. “Thanks to their generosity and volunteerism, our students can confidently pursue pathways that lead to high wage, high-demand careers that strengthen our communities and power the State of Indiana.”
