OLC: Learning Together, Leading Together: A Look at the Ivy Tech & Purdue Global Collaboration (Vendor Webinar)

This session unpacks the urgent need for collaboration in higher education, examining the significant hurdles students face today, from navigating complex transfer pathways and the demand for diverse skill sets to rising affordability concerns. No single institution can tackle these multifaceted challenges alone; therefore, collaboration isn’t just beneficial, it’s a strategic imperative for both student success and institutional vitality.

We’ll highlight the powerful partnership between Ivy Tech, Indiana’s community college system, and Purdue Global. This collaboration thrives due to shared student demographics, particularly their strong support for adult learners across Indiana. We’ll delve into the specific reasons this alliance was forged, demonstrating how each institution leverages the other’s strengths. This reciprocal learning has not only advanced both institutions but also positioned them as leaders in innovation and adult learner support statewide.
