With the 2022-23 academic year approaching, Ivy Tech Community College has named Tammy Keenan the site director for Ivy Tech Greencastle.
Keenan started her new role at Ivy Tech on July 18.
“I am excited to join the elite team at Ivy Tech and welcome any chance to collaborate and find success in opening up our academic offerings to Putnam County and surrounding communities,” said Keenan.
As site director, Keenan oversees daily operations and leads the efforts to grow enrollment in programs offered at Ivy Tech Greencastle, including the Associate Accelerated Program (ASAP).
“With extensive career experience in leadership roles, Tammy will bring a strategic perspective to growing our partnerships and enrollment at the Ivy Tech Greencastle location,” said Chancellor Lea Anne Crooks, Ph.D. “Ivy Tech Greencastle has some unique programs not offered at our Terre Haute campus and are designed to fit the needs of Putnam County. As this region of Indiana grows, Tammy will continue our history of building collaborative partnerships to support the economic and residential growth of Greencastle and the surrounding communities.”
Keenan has been in Putnam County for 20 years. A graduate of Purdue University, Keenan has spent the majority of her career in the healthcare industry, most recently serving in executive leadership roles with Life’s Journey of Avon Hospice. For a short time during the last two years, Keenan owned and operated #harmony Music Boutique, which was located on the square in downtown Greencastle.
“The pandemic’s toll on the healthcare industry allowed me to look at new adventures and a chance to explore ways I could learn new lessons and skills through my career. #harmony Music Boutique was that opportunity,” added Keenan.
Keenan lives in southern Putnam County with her husband and their 16-year-old daughter.
