Terre Haute Campus

Our partners and communities

• Meeting the Demand | Putnam County Community Foundation

  As the demand for nurses continues to impact communities statewide, the Putnam County Community Foundation saw value in awarding a $20,000 grant to Ivy Tech to help expand the enrollment capacity by 10 students annually in the nursing program at Ivy Tech Greencastle and help support the technology needs of students.

• Fostering Diversity, Equity, and Belonging | Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Wabash River Regional Development Authority

  Through the $1 million READi grant funding, Ivy Tech Terre Haute will create a Center for Diversity, Equity and Belonging and hire a full-time director for the center to ensure every student’s experience is valued and respected. In addition, a portion of the READi grant will support the continued development of a strong healthcare workforce pipeline.

• Equipped with the Essentials | Laptop Scholarships Recipients

  During the 2022-23 academic year, Ivy Tech Terre Haute awarded more than 200 students with a new laptop of their own to help alleviate a barrier to enrolling and completing their credentials. On average, students who received a laptop scholarship had a 9% higher term-to-term retention rate compared to students who did not receive a laptop scholarship.

• Improved Classroom Experience | Trans-Care Ambulance

  Paramedic Science students have a new open-concept classroom and laboratory space making the transition from classroom instruction to hands-on learning a seamless experience. The state-of-the-art renovation is largely thanks to Trans-Care Ambulance, whose workforce bleeds green with 75% being Ivy Tech graduates.

• Taking the Next Step | Next Step Foundation

  Together, Next Step Foundation and Ivy Tech launched a five-year pilot program that gives individuals in recovery a pathway to find their value and purpose, both critical components of successful and long-term recovery, through career exploration and meaningful employment. Investments from United Way of the Wabash Valley and Thompson Thrift helped launch the partnership.

• Saving Time and Money | High School Students

  High school students in West Central Indiana had the opportunity to earn college credit at no cost, through summer courses, on-site courses for Vigo and Putnam County students, and Ivy Tech dual credit courses offered at the local high schools, which count as both high school and college credit. During the 2022-23 academic year, high schools enrolled 3,427 students in West Central Indiana in dual credit courses through Ivy Tech, valued at nearly $3.5 million in savings for students and families.

• Workforce Aligned | State of Indiana

  Illustrating the high-value Indiana places on Ivy Tech’s training of skilled workers, the State of Indiana employees are now eligible to take courses to earn their degree or certificate through Ivy Tech with little-to-no up-front costs through a statewide partnership. Partnerships like this develop higher-skilled employees from within, which reduces turnover, fosters company loyalty, and increases community value.

• Committed to the Community | Union Health

  As one of the region’s largest and most prestigious healthcare facilities, Union Health has adopted a multi-faceted and long-term commitment to supporting opportunities for Ivy Tech students and graduates. They value Ivy Tech's educational experience by serving as a clinical site for more than 50 years and employing more than 600 Ivy Tech graduates. This past fall, Union Health was honored with the 2022 Outstanding Alumni Employer Award awarded by the Ivy Tech Terre Haute Alumni Council.
