PRESIDENT OSCAR introduced Joe Bumbleburg, Ivy Tech State College Board Representative from this area, and Chair, Ivy Tech State College Board, who in turn introduced BETTY
DOVERSBERGER, Chancellor, Ivy Tech State College, who made a most interesting presentation with power point assistance of JOHN SANDERSON. BETTY noted that in 1968 when Indiana
Vocational Technical College started, they offered just plain steak, could not offer courses in communications, mathematics, education or work in group courses. But now can they "sizzle" in the steak, i.e.,
transfer degrees; graduate level education courses; programs of higher technological levels; programs designed to meet the needs of area employers.
BETTY also noted that now: 1) there is a Business Division; 2) a Health Division; 3) enrollments are up 41%; 85% of graduates stay in the community; 12% of
graduates stay in IN; and new Ivy Hall offers many state�of �the arts facilities, i.e., 250 seat auditorium with each seat wired with power and data; several open
computer labs; enhanced elaborate assessment center; learning resource center; and multi purpose meeting rooms. BETTY and JOHN closed with a Q and A
session and requested that in lieu of a Rotary wheel, that a contribution be made to the Foundation. The Club was also invited to meet at the new facility and take a
guided tour. The Vocational Committee may be working on this.
