Ann Merkel and her husband Mike supported Ivy Tech Community College-Indianapolis for nearly 10 years before she became the campus Board of Trustees Chair in 2022. “Neither one of us graduated from Ivy Tech,” Merkel said of she and her husband, “but we can have an impact on the students here that we could not have donating to our actual alma maters.” The Merkels began donating to Ivy Tech’s Culinary Arts program after going to an Evening in Paris at Ivy Tech. Evening in Paris was a once-annual fundraising event in support of student scholarships that afforded culinary students the opportunity to continue their studies in Europe.
