Who gets Pied?

Last year, Chancellor Englert took the pie when we met our campus goal, this year we want to do it a little differently! Jars will be displayed at both the South Bend and Elkhart campuses for the week leading up to Ivy Tech day with the faces of our Leadership Cabinet. YOU get to vote for who gets the Pie, $1 = 1 vote so bring your change! Voting is also available online for a minimum of $5, make sure to add a note for the vote!

Bring in your spare change and keep an eye out for the green M&M rolling around campus. Let's make sure to fill it with change!

Supporting Students at Ivy Tech South Bend-Elkhart

The Ivy Tech Foundation has established emergency aid funds to support students who face unexpected issues or situations. These are funded through gifts from thoughtful donors and can help students stay enrolled.

Students who have received emergency aid support have gotten help with vehicle repairs, paying an unexpected bill, and other unforeseen circumstances. All donations to the student emergency aid fund ensure students can stay on track and continue working toward their academic and career goals. These barrier-busting dollars help our students make it across the graduation finish line and reach their academic goals.

Become an Ambassador!
