"I started my higher education at Ivy Tech Indianapolis where I got hands-on experience with Indianapolis Public School systems with the help of my directors Barbra Sanders and Andrew Buckle. They helped me realize that I was on the right track to be a teacher and that it was truly my calling. Going to Ivy Tech Indianapolis also helped me realize that I wanted to work with students in lower socioeconomic-status communities. I wanted to work in these communities specifically so they could get the education opportunities that they deserve." - Savannah OliphantThe Ball State Daily News highlights first-grade teacher Savannah Oliphant's higher-ed journey that began at Ivy Tech Indy. https://lnkd.in/gM6txg3f
