EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - Former Evansville mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel (WYN’-zap-fuhl) will be the new chancellor for Ivy Tech Community College-Southwest.
Weinzapfel succeeds former chancellor Daniel Schenk, who retired in February. Schenk served as chancellor at the Evansville-based campus since 1990.
WFIE-TV reports that Weinzapfel served two consecutive terms as mayor following his election in 2004. Before that, he served three terms in the Indiana House of Representatives.
The Evansville Courier & Press reports that Mary Ann Sellars has served as interim chancellor since Schenk’s retirement. She’s vice chancellor of academic affairs for the southwest region, which the Tribune-Star reports includes Evansville and Terre Haute.
Ivy Tech Community College has an enrollment of more than 200,000 students annually at campuses throughout Indiana.
