Indianapolis, IN — Ivy Tech Community College honored Brent Casebolt of Moores Hill as one of 18 individuals across the state selected to receive the 2022 Distinguished Alumni Award, the highest honor given to recognize Ivy Tech Alumni.
Selected through a highly competitive process, each recipient has made a lasting impact on their community and on Ivy Tech through outstanding professional, philanthropic, or volunteer accomplishments.
“These individuals exemplify service and leadership in extraordinary ways,” said Ivy Tech President Dr. Sue Ellspermann. “Our distinguished alumni prove that an Ivy Tech education equates to career fulfillment and economic prosperity, and I am honored to witness how the College has played a role in their continued lifelong success.”
David Wismann nominated Casebolt for his willingness and readiness to help others in all facets of life.
“For many years, Brent has worked with our local Fraternal Order of Police Cops N Kids program where police officers shop at our local Walmart for Christmas. This has been such a great local
event that is anticipated eagerly by many of our most needy children. As a South Dearborn School Board member, he worked with local communities to make sure they had a voice. He has taught police officers and college students over many years in the Indiana Data and Communications System (IDACS), Sex Offender Registry, various jail courses, and several criminal justice classes at IVY Tech as an assistant. Brent is the epitome of the type of local police officer who can be friendly and approachable while maintaining professionalism and serving the community at a high level. His career has been one of continual learning, honest and courageous public service, and a deep level of commitment to the public. He has a knack for befriending kids that need his friendship, serving as a confidant as children deal with the many difficult issues they face.” wrote Wismann.
Alumni, faculty, staff, and friends are all encouraged to make nominations. Awardees must be graduates of Ivy Tech, having received an Associate Degree, Technical Certificate, or Certificate.
The College has been honoring Distinguished Alumni since 1998.
