Ivy Tech has hired a new chancellor for the Evansville campus.
Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann has announced Daniela Vidal has been named chancellor.
Vidal is vice president of operations at Vidal Plastics and will replace Jonathan Weinzapfel, who left the position in November to run for Indiana Attorney General.
In a release, Ellspermann said Vidal’s “higher education, economic development, innovation, and entrepreneurship experience will serve her well” as Ivy Tech reshapes its programming to meet the changing needs of southwest Indiana.
Vidal served in a variety of roles for ten years at USI – including Director of Opportunity Development.
Ivy Tech's Evansville campus serves a 10-county region with additional sites in Princeton and Tell City.
Vidal will begin her duties as chancellor March 16th.
