Former Ivy Tech President Gerald Lamkin passed away this weekend at 86.
His role at Ivy Tech began as a part-time instructor in 1967, just four years after the college was created by the Indiana General Assembly as the Indiana Vocational Technical College.
“Our dad lived his life to help others and always wanted to see others improve their lives. A problem solver by nature, he did not believe in the word ‘can’t’,” said Jeri Criddle, his daughter said. “No single leader has had more impact on Ivy Tech than Gerald Lamkin; he was the father of Indiana’s community college system,” said Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann. “His visionary leadership transitioned the College from a vocational school and positioned it to become what it is today: Indiana’s workforce development engine. His commitment to student success and serving community needs led to the College’s expansion in locations, programs, degree offerings, and transfer opportunities.
