(Batesville, IN) – Batesville resident and pharmacist Tricia Jennewein has been named the Bulldog Ready community convener, a key role in the Batesville Community School Corporation’s (BCSC) new community-connected educational model.
In this volunteer position, she will serve as the central contact person and curator of all available community resources relating to real-world opportunities for students.
“As we launch Bulldog Ready at the schools this year, it is important to have a community member dedicated to finding the resources we need to allow students to learn from those who have on-the-job experience,” said Kyle Laker, Bulldog Ready coordinator. “While I am working within the schools to determine how to bring the curriculum to life through hands-on learning, our community convener will help match community assets to desired student experiences.”
Jennewein has a pharmacy degree from Purdue University and works part-time as a clinical pharmacist for Margaret Mary Health. She also serves as a board member of the Batesville Community Education Foundation. In this important new community role, she hopes to combine her business acumen with her experience as a Batesville Community School Corporation parent.
“I’ve lived in many places before settling in Batesville,” Jennewein explained. “It gives me a unique perspective when considering the strengths of our community. As someone working in the health care field, I understand the role of business in shaping our youth and am excited to give back to the school corporation that provided a great education to my children.”
Jennewein and her husband Brad have four children: Blake, Coleman, Aidan, and Chloe, all Batesville High School graduates. Her hobbies include scrapbooking, embroidering, hiking, and traveling.
