Indiana Tech is pleased to announce that Dr. Amie Anderson has been chosen to be the university’s next vice president for academic affairs and chief academic officer. Dr. Anderson will begin her new role at the university on July 1.
A senior academic leader with more than 16 years of experience in higher education and a foundation as a secondary science teacher, Dr. Anderson comes to Indiana Tech from Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana. At IWU, she was dean of the School of Integrated Learning & Development, providing executive leadership for online undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs that serve adult and working learners.
That experience will fit nicely at Indiana Tech, where helping students achieve meaningful careers, competitive salaries, real-world skills and a clear pathway from education to the workforce is paramount.
“Dr. Anderson is an accomplished academic leader whose experience and values align strongly with Indiana Tech’s mission,” said Indiana Tech President Dr. Karl W. Einolf. “Her commitment to student success, workforce relevance and academic quality—across both traditional and online programs—will be a tremendous asset to our university. This is a victory for academics at Indiana Tech, and we are excited to welcome her to our team.”
Dr. Anderson brings to Indiana Tech a mission-driven commitment to career-focused, professional education, leading institutionally complex academic portfolios for traditional and online student populations. Her leadership experience spans education, human services, student engagement and online education, with demonstrated success in enrollment growth, accreditation oversight, program innovation and faculty development.
“Indiana Tech’s mission-driven focus on academic quality, workforce relevance and student success strongly resonates with me, and I’m eager to contribute to the opportunities that lie ahead. The university’s emphasis on workforce-aligned programs, student success across modalities and meaningful partnerships creates powerful opportunities for academic impact,” Dr. Anderson said. “I look forward to partnering with faculty and academic leaders to support innovative teaching, meaningful learning experiences and programs that connect education to real-world outcomes.”
Dr. Anderson earned a Master of Science in Science Education from Aquinas College in 2008, and a PhD in Post-Secondary and Adult Education from Capella University in 2014.
