Students, faculty, and staff make their voices heard at Statehouse Day
(February 18, 2015) — Fifty-five students, faculty, and staff members from Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) will head to Indianapolis Thursday, February 19, for the 17th annual Statehouse Day. Forty of this year’s participants are current IPFW students.

The lunch presentation will be emceed by Vince Buchanan, executive director of the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana. Four IPFW students currently interning at the Statehouse will speak about their experiences during lunch.
