Please join us in congratulating Dr. Rachel Barrett Knight, who has been appointed as the new Assistant Dean for the School of Arts, Sciences & Education. Dr. Rachel Barrett Knight brings a wealth of experience in academic leadership, a deep commitment to student success, and a passion for fostering an inclusive, collaborative environment. We look forward to the innovative ideas and vision she will bring to our community as we continue to strive for excellence in teaching, research, and student engagement. We are also excited to introduce Corey Sims as the new Program Chair for General Studies and Liberal Arts. Corey is a dedicated psychology faculty member with a strong background in both teaching and program development. His leadership will play a crucial role in guiding the growth and evolution of the General Studies and Liberal Arts programs, ensuring they continue to provide our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
In
line
with
our
leadership w e are also thrilled to celebrate two major accomplishments for Dr. Amanda Owen- Pride! As previously announced, she recently earned her doctorate in Ethical Leadership. Now, she’s also stepping into a new role as the College Registrar and Executive Director of Student Records at Ivy Tech’s Systems Office. Since 2021, Dr. Owen-Pride has been the Department Chair over IVYT, General Studies and Liberal Arts, in addition to serving as the Assistant Dean for our School of Arts, Sciences changes,
Both Dr. Knight and Mr. Sims (soon to be “Dr.” as well!) are passionate advocates for education and student development, and we are confident that they will be invaluable assets to our school!
and Education (SASE). Previously, she had been the Registrar here in Indianapolis, as well as the Director of the Advising Office. So, this new role is perfect for her, and we know that now that she’s been a faculty member, she’ll advocate for us overhead. We will miss her
expertise in scheduling classes, helping with student issues and teaching IVYT classes. In Dr. Owen-Pride’s words, “I wanted to personally share with you all the bittersweet news that I have accepted the Executive Director of Student Records and College Registrar position with the Systems Office, starting on Monday, July 29th, 2024. My time with IVYT has been so special to me, as have each of you. I would not have wanted my time here to be with anyone other than this team. As I am only moving next door, this is NOT goodbye – this is simply ‘see you later’. You are all stuck with me!” We couldn’t be happier for her next chapter—congratulations, Dr. Owen-Pride!
