COLUMBUS, Ind. — The first fall semester of classes at Ivy Tech Community College – Columbus’ new Moravec Hall began on Monday, with Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann visiting campus to mark the occasion.
Ellspermann and the statewide Ivy Tech leadership team were on site to welcome students for their first day of classes, said Director of Marketing Chris Schilling.
“At Ivy Tech, the goal isn’t graduation day, it’s a better every day after,” Ellspermann said. “As we welcome this year’s incoming students, I look forward to seeing how their journey at Ivy Tech will better equip them for a high-wage, high-demand job that translates into long-term success and economic prosperity for our state.”
While the college began holding a select number of classes in Moravec Hall in late May, Schilling said Monday marks the start of the first full term in which students will start their classes in the new building.
The approximately $32 million, 80,000-square-foot structure has replaced the aging Poling Hall.
