Leach receives excellence award

Celinda Kay Leach, who chairs the health science division and the practical nursing program at Ivy Tech State College in Bloomington, has received the college's 2004 President's Award for Excellence in Instruction.

It is the second time Leach has won the award, given each year to a faculty member from each of Ivy Tech's 14 regions.

It makes her a nominee for the Glenn W. Sample Award for Excellence in Instruction, Ivy Tech's highest award for excellence in teaching.

Leach began teaching at Indiana Vocational Technical College — later to become Ivy Tech — in 1971. She became practical nursing program chairwoman in 1987 and has led the health sciences division since 2002.
