In the spring semester of 2021 from April 7-16, the Strategy 5.2 Committee invited all employees throughout the state to participate in Ivy Tech's first statewide Idea Dash. The HMW question was "How might we improve brand advocacy for Ivy Tech among faculty and staff?".

The virtual sessions were scheduled over a two-week period for a duration of 2-3 hours and accommodated 20 participants per session. Findings from the extensive Ivy Tech branding study were shared with the participants through a video to offer insights into how the public perceives the value of an Ivy Tech education and where Ivy Tech can improve its efforts in recruiting and retaining students.
