TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Ivy Tech Community College Terre Haute has appointed Chris Himsel, Ph.D., Superintendent of the Vigo County School Corporation (VCSC), to the Campus Board of Trustees.
“I am honored to join the Ivy Tech Terre Haute Campus Board of Trustees, and I look forward to continuing partnerships between K-12 and higher education,” Dr. Himsel said. “Ivy Tech is an immeasurable asset in our community.”
Himsel has held the position of Superintendent of VSCS since May 2023. Since then, Himsel has made a positive impact on education in Vigo County, according to Ivy Tech.
“Dr. Himsel’s extensive background in education and community service makes him a tremendous asset to the Ivy Tech Terre Haute Campus Board of Trustees,” said Lea Anne Crooks, Ph.D., Chancellor of Ivy Tech Terre Haute. “We look forward to the perspectives and expertise he will bring to the campus.”
Later this year, Ivy Tech said, the partnership between Himsel and Ivy Tech will launch a summer camp program for Vigo County 7th graders. The initiative will introduce students to hands-on experiences that will align with career pathways available through dual credit classes and Ivy Tech programs.
