Ivy Tech Official Excited About New IU Northwest Building

Larry Brechner

Ivy Tech Community College in Gary is partnering with Indiana University Northwest in the use of the new Arts & Sciences Building, which will be officially dedicated on Friday.   Vice chancellor for academic affairs Margaret Semmer was on "Regionally Speaking" on Wednesday, as the conversation continued about the new building along Broadway at 35th Avenue. 

She talks about the importance of Ivy Tech students' access to the arts as well as the state-of-the-art facilities.  Semmer also notes the opportunity that the partnership will give to Ivy Tech to encourage students to continue their education into a four-year institution.  Here's the conversation.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
