Ivy Tech Announces New Focus for Princeton Site

1

Ivy Tech Community College’s Princeton site has a re-directed focus and a new name, it was announced by Chancellor Jonathan Weinzapfel, at a news conference today (Sept. 19).

Its new name, Ivy Tech Community College Princeton Career and Technology Center, will better reflect Ivy Tech’s commitment to serving the workforce development needs of Gibson and surrounding counties, Weinzapfel said.

In 2014, Ivy Tech asked for and received $600,000 in Tax Increment Funds from the County Redevelopment Commission and County Council. These funds are designed to be used for the purpose of subsidizing re-development, infrastructure and other community-improvement projects; and at Princeton, the funding was earmarked for two new classrooms and the equipment needed. Now, the site has a state-of-the-art environmentally friendly welding classroom and a mechatronics classroom – which directly benefit area industry.

Weinzapfel said that those classrooms have spurred a surge in both non-credit and credit classes at the site. “What we have seen at Princeton is a change in emphasis in classes being offered from nearly all for-credit classes like English and Psychology, to more of an emphasis on workforce development classes like welding and industrial maintenance,” he said. “Ivy Tech offers dual credit courses in all area high schools, which has created less of a need for this type of class at our site.”

Ivy Tech is also experiencing an exponential increase in non-credit courses through Ivy Tech Corporate College. Corporate College offers customized training for individuals, business, and industry. Companies such as Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Inc., Indianapolis Power & Light, Indiana Department of Education, Toyota Boshoku, and others are among the list of area industry benefiting from classes offered at the site and the additional classrooms added through TIF funds.

“The name change of our site will help to reinforce and reflect Ivy Tech’s desire to be responsive to the workforce and career development needs of the Gibson County area,” Weinzapfel said. And, through the Corporate College leadership of Bo Drake, area business and industry will see a very responsive Ivy Tech, with the new Center, he indicated. Kyla Krieg, manager of the site, will be arranging visits to determine the types of courses that are necessary to grow the skills of area employees and meet the employer’s needs. “This will provide us with more opportunities to sit down and have conversations with our local industries,” he said.

USI looks to rebound at home

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Southern Indiana women’s soccer team returns to the friendly surroundings of Strassweg Field looking to rebound from last weekend’s tough road swing. USI (4-3-0, 1-3-0 GLVC) is slated to host the University of Wisconsin-Parkside (3-2-1, 3-1-0 GLVC) Friday at 5 p.m. and Lewis University (4-2-1, 2-1-1 GLVC) Sunday at noon.
Live coverage of USI’s two-match home weekend, including live video and live statistics, can be found on GoUSIEagles.com.

Week 4 Eagle Notes: 

Last weekend: The Screaming Eagles were held scoreless on the road trip, falling to Quincy University, 2-0, and to 25th-ranked Truman State University, 3-0.

Scoring goals in 2016: The Eagles have scored 18 goals through five matches this fall, just one short of the 19 scored during the 17 games of the 2015 campaign. Senior forward Gabriella Korte (St. Louis, Missouri) tops the USI scoring leaders with 11 points on a team-high four goals and three assists.

This week’s opponents in the GLVC: While the Eagles were picked to finish 13th in the GLVC this fall, UW-Parkside was forecast to place eighth and Lewis was voted seventh by the league’s head coaches.

USI looks to snap UW-Parkside losing streak: USI, which trails the all-time series with UW-Parkside, 12-9-2, looks to snap a three-match losing streak to the Rangers. The last time USI posted a win over UW-Parkside was in 2013 when the Eagles won at Strassweg Field, 2-1, in overtime.

Eagles look to get back on track versus Lewis: The Eagles will be looking to get back on track versus the Flyers after losing a 1-0 decision last year in Romeoville, Illinois. USI, which leads the all-time series, 13-5-2, had posted a 9-0-1 record versus Lewis since 2005 before losing last year’s match.

HELPING TRUMP ISN’T EASY

HELPING TRUMP ISN’T EASY

Making Sense by Michael Reagan

Donald Trump actually looked like a statesman in Mexico City Wednesday afternoon.

It didn’t matter what he and the president of Mexico talked about.  It didn’t even matter if they made a secret handshake deal to split the cost of building the great Wall of Trump.

For the first time in his long campaign, Trump actually looked presidential. The visual gravitas didn’t last long, though.  Six hours later in Arizona the old Trump was back, reading a speech from the teleprompter and throwing big slabs of U.S. Prime red meat to his hardcore fan base.  He erased all thoughts that he was headed to a kinder, gentler place on immigration, which, unfortunately, remains the signature issue of his campaign.

Not only did he promise to build his wall taller and deeper and stronger, and make Mexico pay for it, but he also promised to get tougher on illegal immigrants in every way.  That’s great. But Trump —- and his campaign —- still don’t get it.  He’s still pounding away at immigration when he should be talking about the economy, Obamacare and making the country safe.

His tough stand on immigration is what won him the Republican primary. It’s what keeps his hardcore base applauding and cheering for him at his rallies.  But he doesn’t have to pander to that base anymore.
He also doesn’t need to be boosting Fox’s ratings every night by appearing with his soulmates Greta, Bill and Sean.

He doesn’t need to please the conservative Fox audience anymore, either, who tune in to see everyone beat up on Hillary. They’re already in his bag of votes.  How hard is this? Trump needs to address all those people out there who are not part of his base —- people who aren’t Republicans but who dislike Hillary enough to vote for him because of issues like the economy or trust.

Speaking to a black audience this weekend and pointing out how the Democrat Party has failed blacks for 50 years is the right idea.  He has to do more of that. Next, I’d like to see him shaking hands at a corner taco stand in L.A. After that, he should show up on CNN and even PBS, if they’ll have him.  He needs to eat away at Hillary’s base. And that means talking about the economy, jobs and lying Hillary’s personal failings, which are huge.

Trump’s campaign staff had a good week.
But calling Hillary a bigot because she takes the black vote for granted was a total waste of time. It’s not going to win Trump votes in November.

When I tried to tell the Trump team that in a tweet this week, the response I got from a campaign operative in Trump Tower was, “Oh, are you on the Hillary Clinton payroll?
That’s the common response from Trumpsters and the campaign’s brain trust. If you say anything critical they say, “You must be on Hillary’s payroll.”

They don’t want my advice, but everything I’ve said about Trump’s campaign has been proven to be true.
I told them not to hire Paul Manafort to run the campaign. But they did —- and then had to fire him.
I told them long ago Trump had to soften his approach to Latinos —- and eventually he did. I think.
I refuse to be a Trump enabler. I’ve decided to be a consultant to him via Twitter or my columns.
But when I criticize Trump’s campaign I get grief from his followers and his campaign people for being a Hillary lover.

When I told my father in 1980 to fire Paul Manafort and the rest of his campaign team because I could see they were losing the Iowa caucuses to George H.W. Bush, did that mean I was a supporter of Jimmy Carter?
No.

There are too many major differences between Trump and my father to count. But one difference is that my father had the sense to listen to me when I gave him good advice.
