For a student attending college, a day can mean everything. In fact, a day can change the life of someone building their future. At 12:01 a.m. ET on April 23, the Ivy Tech Foundation will kick off Ivy Tech Day, the college’s second annual day of giving, to help Ivy Tech Community College’s more than 190,000 students – including those studying at Ivy Tech Muncie-Henry County – prepare for graduation day and a better every day after.
For 24 hours, alumni, faculty, staff, donors, community leaders and all who care about breaking down barriers to higher education can contribute to Ivy Tech’s mission of preparing Hoosiers for today’s and tomorrow’s workforce.
Ivy Tech Day aims to generate resources and create opportunities for communities, while reconnecting alumni and friends of Ivy Tech with the important work happening at Indiana’s largest postsecondary institution and engine of workforce development.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in Ivy Tech Day last year, and look forward to uniting again on April 23 to have an even greater impact on students’ lives,” said Jeffrey D. Scott, chancellor at the Ivy Tech Muncie-Henry County campus. “Our campus is doing amazing work, and Ivy Tech has grown to be the biggest community college of its kind in the U.S. Students are receiving unique, personal instruction that prepares them for their careers, and Ivy Tech Day will help us continue making an impact in our community.”
The inaugural Ivy Tech Day in 2023 proved to be an outstanding success for the Muncie-Henry County campus, as the inaugural celebration brought together dedicated employees, community partners, and alumni in a collaborative effort. The collective enthusiasm resulted in the successful raising of over $26,000 through 257 generous gifts.
Scheduled for April 23, 2024, this year’s celebration promises a lineup of engaging events and social media challenges. We extend a warm invitation to all Ivy Tech employees, their families, friends, alumni, and community partners to actively participate in the festivities.
Anyone interested in contributing to Ivy Tech Day can do so at ivytech.edu/giveday starting at 12:01 a.m. ET on April 23. Alumni and friends are invited to participate in a variety of other ways, including setting up a matching gift, becoming a social ambassador, and visiting local community partners on Ivy Tech Day.
