Ivy Tech Madison Recognized for Excellence in Military Student Support

                                   

[MADISON, Ind.] – Ivy Tech Community College Madison has been awarded the inaugural Collegiate Purple Star of Indiana (CPSI) designation, which recognizes Indiana postsecondary institutions that provide outstanding support to U.S. military-affiliated students, including veterans, active-duty service members and their families.

The CPSI designation, awarded by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE) and the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA), recognizes institutions that excel in creating a supportive environment for military-connected students throughout their educational journey.

“We are honored to be able to continue to serve those that have served our nation through the Commission’s Collegiate Purple Star designation,” said Dr. Amanda Harsin, chancellor of Ivy Tech Madison. “Our commitment to military-affiliated students is embedded in our mission.”

The CPSI designation is awarded across three achievement tiers based on 37 standards across eight key categories: core institutional policies, admissions and enrollment practices, financial and student support services, institutional infrastructure, student engagement, and career/community engagement. Ivy Tech Madison was recognized at the Tier 2 level, reflecting its high achievement in these areas.

The CPSI program was established by Senate Enrolled Act 384-2023. Designations are valid for three years and signify an institution’s readiness to support the unique needs of military-connected students
