FORT WAYNE – Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne and Warsaw has received $16,821 to support students and programs from Circle of Ivy, the Ivy Tech Foundation’s women’s philanthropy group.
The funds were distributed to support $6,500 in requested projects, according to a news release from Ivy Tech.
“Our students continue to receive significant benefits thanks to the support of Circle of Ivy,” said Dr. Kim Barnett-Johnson, chancellor of Ivy Tech Fort Wayne/Warsaw. “Because of the group’s generosity, we’re able to offer study abroad opportunities, access to emergency aid, and free holiday meals. Resources like these give our students experiences and aid that they may not have gotten otherwise.”
