Even though fall officially began last week, I’m convinced today was the first real day of fall: This past week has been too warm (as evidenced by the final pool day my family had on Saturday).
Ivy Tech has all sorts of October fun in store for you this month. Mark your calendars!

We’ll have plenty of resources about transferring, and we’re going to encourage you to sign a pledge that you’ll complete your education. By signing, you’ll receive even more “funds” to gamble with at Casino Night (because with your education, your earning potential increases–get it?)
