The ranking is based on two sources:
 Ivy Tech Community College Bloomington has hired Elizabeth Stelle as the new Department Chair of Education. She took the helm on May 28 as Marjie Risen retires from her position this summer after 25 years of service.
“Building connections and relationships with my students and fellow educators is what brings me the most joy in my career,” Stelle said. “I have this overall feeling of contentment and that this [Ivy Tech] is where I am meant to be.” As a Bloomington native, Stelle has a deep background in education in the community. She attended Bloomington High School South and earned her bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University. She was a teacher in numerous schools, including St. Charles Catholic School, St. Mark’s Nursery School and Kindergarten, Edgewood Primary School, The Project School, and Jill’s House International Preschool, where she served as director and was instrumental in the program’s growth.  Todd Gould, senior producer/director at WTIU Public Television, has been named the recipient of the Marshall “Major” Taylor Trailblazer Award for his work on WTIU’s documentary Major Taylor: Champion of the Race. This award is a joint presentation by the Bronzeville Trail Task Force, a citizen activist group dedicated to preserving and promoting the historical legacy of Chicago’s African American community, and US Representative Jonathan L. Jackson (IL-1).
The Marshall “Major” Taylor Trailblazer Award was named for Taylor, the first international sports superstar, who set more than 20 world records in track cycling at the turn of the 20th century. Taylor was also an early civil rights pioneer who fought for greater social and economic opportunities for African American citizens during the heart of Jim Crow America. The “trailblazer” award title refers to a line from Taylor’s autobiography, in which he wrote, “In a word, I was a pioneer, and therefore had to blaze my own trail.” Gould and WTIU are the first to produce a full-length documentary on Major Taylor.  Ivy Tech Community College Bloomington is hosting an Introduction to Semiconductors training session July 1-3 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This free, three-day workshop is designed to open doors to local careers in the emerging field of semiconductors. The training is open to the public and space is limited to 16.
“Participants will get hands-on skills training that paves the way for careers in the lucrative field of semiconductor manufacturing,” Michael Waterford, Microelectronics and Department of Defense Employer Laison at Ivy Tech Bloomington said. “The workshop offers an entry-level overview for anyone who may be exploring career pathways or wanting to make a career change.” Interactive workshops will be led by Ivy Tech faculty, including building robots, programming automation equipment, soldering, and circuit boards. Participants will learn the fundamentals of the semiconductor industry and hear from local industry representatives and hiring managers.
