Ivy Tech President Discusses Career Exploration With Students

 A group of students at Ivy Tech were taught by a special guest instructor Monday. Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann discussed career exploration in a student success class.

Students got a chance to ask Ellspermann questions and voice their concerns about the school. Many students are also parents, and they feel Ivy Tech could do better offering child support services.

Sue Ellspermann says, “We know that two-thirds of our students are part time. That means many of them are working adults and working parents at the same time. And we realize that it’s not just about coming here for class, it’s about creating the wrap-around services that will help those students be successful.”

Staff at Ivy Tech say they have started preliminary talks about starting a partnership with local daycares to help parents out.
