Ivy Tech Community College in Evansville has earned a special recognition from the state of Indiana

Ivy Tech in Evansville has been awarded a “purple star.” WNIN’s John Gibson explains:

The award comes from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs,

It recognizes postsecondary institutions that provide “outstanding support to U.S. military-affiliated students, including veterans, active-duty service members and their families.”

Ivy Tech Evansville Chancellor Daniela Vidal says it’s an honor to win the award.

She says Ivy Tech’s commitment to military-affiliated students is embedded in the community college’s mission.

Vidal says the recognition affirms ongoing efforts to ensure “academic success and career readiness.”

The designation is valid for three years.
