INDIANAPOLIS - Following today’s announcement that Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers plans to leave her current role following the 2022 legislative session, Indiana Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner released this statement:
“For three decades, Teresa Lubbers has been one of Indiana’s most visionary thought leaders in the space of education and workforce. Over decades of service, she has worked to empower greater opportunities for every Hoosier student through quality education, ensuring all students have access and resources to pursue their next steps after high school. Because of her committed service, more students have a credential of currency beyond their high school diploma and a ticket to a brighter future.
“It’s a credit to Teresa’s leadership that her legacy of collaboration will continue -- welcoming everyone to the table, including K-12, higher education, and workforce leaders at the state level and in communities across Indiana. Teresa is a personal mentor and friend, and I’m grateful that her fierce advocacy and leadership has laid the foundation for our collective work ahead, always keeping what is best for students front and center.”
