Marty Pollio Named 10th Ivy Tech President

Marty Pollio, outgoing superintendent of Kentucky's Jefferson County Public Schools, has been appointed as the 10th president of Ivy Tech Community College, effective July 1, the same day he retires from JCPS. Chosen after a national search, Pollio is recognized for his passion for students and experience in workforce readiness and academic excellence. He will succeed Sue Ellspermann, who has served as president since 2016 and oversaw increased credentialing and a focus on workforce alignment. Pollio will lead Indiana’s largest postsecondary institution, which serves over 200,000 students across 19 campuses and online. He aims to expand dual credit and workforce development programs and build on recent progress at the college. The leadership change comes as Ivy Tech continues efforts to address Indiana's workforce shortages.
