Ivy Tech Community College’s Lafayette campus is reaching out to a state in Mexico to start a cultural and education program focusing on agriculture.
Administrators from Ivy Tech’s Lafayette campus and officials from the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, signed an agreement yesterday that starts the exchange program.
The agreement will allow Ivy Tech and a two-year school in Hidalgo state to enhance each other’s agricultural programs. Indiana students and faculty who spend time at the Mexican school will learn about technology, commerce, trade and agriculture.
State Sen. Ron Alting, a Lafayette Republican, said the collaboration symbolizes that borders should not divide people in terms of education.
