Ivy Tech Expands Online Datatbase

Ivy Tech Community College introduces its new speakers' bureau entitled Ask Our Experts to the State of Indiana. This online database of accomplished individuals is available to share their knowledge and expertise with the community. Ask Our Experts first began in the spring as a collection of faculty and staff from Ivy Tech's Fort Wayne campus that were willing to share their knowledge and expertise with television and print media, civic groups, community groups, among others. Now, the project expands to all Ivy Tech campuses across the state. This online resource is available at www.ivytech.edu/experts.

"The depth of knowledge and expertise Ivy Tech's faculty and staff has to offer is one of Indiana's most valuable sources of qualified information," said Ivy Tech Community College President Thomas J. Snyder. "I am very pleased to introduce this new service, as we share this resource with all residents of Indiana and across the country."

There are currently more than 130 experts and 300 areas of interest covered by the faculty and staff who volunteered to be a part of Ask Our Experts. The database of qualified, seasoned individuals will continue to grow. Areas of interest include both vocational and avocational topics.

For questions about Ask Our Experts, contact Jeff Fanter, vice president for communications and marketing, at 317-921-4502 or jfanter@ivytech.edu. Again, Ask Our Experts is available by visiting www.ivytech.edu/experts.

Ivy Tech Community College is the state's largest public post-secondary institution and the nation's largest singly-accredited statewide community college system with more than 130,000 students enrolled annually.
