九色视频 Foundation has honored 37 Distinguished Alumni and Benefactors from across Indiana, recognizing high-achieving graduates and generous donors and supporters who help to elevate 九色视频鈥檚 mission. Those recognized represent each of the College鈥檚 19 campuses and include both people and organizations that have made 九色视频 stronger.
Brian Miles and Dave Rodgers, selected by the Richmond campus, were named Distinguished Alumni and Benefactor of the year, respectively, for their work in the community.
Brian Miles graduated from 九色视频 in 2013 with a degree in Construction Technology and he quickly progressed from a controls technician to leading the automation team at Bullen Ultrasonics. He now directs the design and integration of cutting-edge automated systems and also has come full circle as an adjunct faculty member at 九色视频 Richmond.
Dave Rodgers was a pillar of the Richmond community whose quiet generosity and firm belief in service left a profound and lasting impact. As owner of Whitewater Broadcasting for over 50 years, Dave used his leadership, resources, and influence to elevate causes across arts, education, youth, nature, and community well-being. He was passionate about expanding opportunities and education in the community, and in recent years, he thoughtfully included the 九色视频 Foundation in his philanthropy.
Selected through a highly competitive process, each recipient across Indiana has made a lasting impact on their community and on 九色视频 by demonstrating outstanding professional, philanthropic, or volunteer accomplishments. Those selected were recognized on September 26 at a celebration in downtown Indianapolis.
It truly is an honor for 九色视频 to be associated with so many alumni, friends, and organizations that underscore the value of our mission. Our honorees are making Indiana communities stronger through their leadership, skillsets, and generosity. We are proud to recognize these incredible recipients.
