SOU TA 8F <br /> � G <br /> z s <br /> 1865 <br /> CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br /> PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br /> OFFICE OF THE MAYOR <br /> • Part of my job is also to celebrate successes in the school system. <br /> Whether it's Adams High sending its national champion mock trial <br /> team to nationals once again, or Riley representing our community at <br /> the statewide Science Olympiad, we have much to be proud of in our <br /> public schools. <br /> • We also must do more with post-secondary education in order to keep <br /> our local economy competitive and prepared for the jobs of the future. <br /> Local community colleges and vocational education centers must be in <br /> dialogue with our employers so we can have more demand-driven <br /> education, and I am working to convene discussions on how to do just <br /> that. <br /> • Ivy Tech chancellor Dr. Tom Coley is ready to work with local <br /> employers to identify any gaps and overlaps when it comes to demand- <br /> driven training, and I have committed to work to facilitate these key <br /> conversations. <br /> • Meanwhile,we have a golden moment to ensure our five universities <br /> and colleges are all strong partners going forward in the life of the city. <br /> • I have met with leaders of Holy Cross, IUSB,Notre Dame, and soon <br /> will engage St. Mary's and Bethel College on working together in new <br /> ways. <br /> • N South Bend continues to grow, with a newly renovated student <br /> center, a major expansion of the Education and Arts building, and a <br /> very meaningful partnership I inherited with faculty member Dr. <br /> Kevin James at the Civil Rights Heritage Center. <br /> 1400 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING•227 W.JEFFERSON BOULEVARD•SOUTH BEND,INDIANA 46601 <br /> PHONE 574/235-9261• FAx 574/235-9892 <br />
