Ten high school teams – including six from Fort Wayne Community Schools – are expected to compete in a regional pitch competition Thursday at Purdue University Fort Wayne.
ANGOLA â The COVID-19 pandemic was not about to stop Trine University from educating students on campus this year, and it didnât halt commencement like it did in 2020.
For the first time since 2019, Trine University held its commencement exercise Saturday in the Keith Busse Athletic and Recreation Center on the Angola campus, the 135th in the universityâs history.
The picture was definitely one of a world that is still in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, with all of the graduates, staff, faculty and administration masked for the occasion, though some in the audience were not as requested.
Bringing live commencement back featured a keynote address by Gov. Eric Holcomb, who has been instrumental in leading Indiana out of the pandemic, though not without political cost this year during a legislative session that saw lawmakers strip him of some of his executive powers to deal with emergencies.

Mosier led Ivy Tech s growth in programs, stature
A notable mark of Jerrilee K. Mosier s tenure as northeast Indiana regional chancellor of Ivy Tech Community College will be the quiet, steady leadership she provided for more than a decade. It wasn t always that way.
Mosier, who announced Friday she will retire in September, was named to the top post in February 2010. She succeeded Mark Keen, who resigned after college officials became aware he was living in a building on Ivy Tech s North Campus on St. Joe Road, part of the former Fort Wayne State Development Center. Campus police were called to Bliss Hall, the vacant building where Keen was living, on at least one occasion.
