TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Tuesday, Ivy Tech celebrated its 3rd annual “Ivy Tech Day” or “Day of Giving.”
The all-day event aims to raise money through community partners, faculty, and alumni.
Ivy Tech’s goal was $40,000.
On campus, students and staff had booths, games, and prizes for donations, while community partners had special offers to raise money.
Vice Chancellor of Developing and Marketing at Ivy Tech, Alia Shuck, said the fundraising will help, not just current students, but the local community as well.
“Ivy Tech is a community partner, so we offer credentials that are aligned with the workforce needs here in West Central Indiana”, Shuck said. “The majority of our students stay and work in this region, which just adds to our economic value. When you give to Ivy Tech, really you’re giving to the economic prosperity of West Central Indiana.”
