For more than 195,000 students with aspirations to contribute to their communities, a single day can change lives. On Tuesday, April 8, Ivy Tech Community College will host its third-annual Ivy Tech Day, a 24-hour fundraising event dedicated to supporting student success, scholarships, and transformative programs. Alumni, faculty, staff, donors, and community members are invited to contribute and help Indiana’s workforce engine prepare the next generation of nurses, pharmaceutical manufacturers, cybersecurity experts, entrepreneurs, and more.
Ivy Tech Day provides a unique opportunity for supporters to invest in Ivy Tech and make a meaningful difference in the lives of students. Donations will fund scholarships, academic resources, and career development opportunities, ensuring students receive the education and training needed to thrive in today’s workforce and contribute to Indiana’s economy.

Ivy Tech Day is special because it spotlights the many ways Indiana’s community college is delivering for Hoosier communities. Every contribution allows us to continue to provide high-quality, industry-aligned education and training that helps our students achieve a better life and supports Indiana’s economic competitiveness.

– Dr. Sue Ellspermann, President, Ivy Tech Community College
