On Thursday, November 19, the Ivy Tech Indianapolis Service Area celebrated its annual Employee Recognition Celebration in person after going virtual in 2020 due to the pandemic. More than 250 faculty and staff were in attendance, wearing masks and continuing COVID-19 safety best practices. Emcees David Edge (executive assistant for the School of Arts, Sciences and Education) and Lara O’Dell (program chair of Legal Studies and Paralegal Studies) brought great energy to the event, keeping the program upbeat and engaging. Chancellor Esters kicked off festivities with an "Address of Gratitude", followed by recognition of degree completions, accomplishments, faculty promotions, employee service awards and retirees. There was also a moment of silence for the employees lost over the last year. Service area celebrates employee achievements and service in person during annual Employee Recognition Celebration
Indianapolis faculty member wins the College's top award in the state On November 10, Ivy Tech Community College held its 41st annual President's Awards, celebrating esteemed faculty and adjunct faculty across the state. The President's Award is the highest honor, awarding an individual from each campus for their exemplary work. During this year's ceremony, the College was eager to announce this year's President's Award winner, Jaime Hamilton, associate professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology in Indianapolis. Hamilton's win was the first for the Indianapolis campus in the history of these awards.
In addition to awards, the event announced the service area's first "Employee of the Month," an extension of its
"Cheers for Peers" employee recognition. The recipient of the first "Employee of the Month" was Deon Marcum. Submissions for the Employee of the Month must align with one of the College's Strategic Plan tactics.
