Interns Visit Indiana State Museum

Stachler

On Thursday, June 6, 27 interns attended an event at the Indiana State Museum, where they enjoyed free admission and the opportunity to explore exhibits. 

Indiana Department of Education Director of Communications Holly Stachler was on hand to greet the interns and share remarks. Formerly a teacher in Yorktown and Muncie, Mrs. Stachler has served as IDOE's director of communications for almost two years. She graduated with both her bachelor's and master's degrees from Ball State University.

Mrs. Stachler began her speech with several numbers representing key metrics about education in Indiana. She used this to transition into a discussion about teacher shortages and changes in graduation programs, among other topics that affect Indiana’s communities, workplaces, and education.

Mrs. Stachler had interns guess what several numbers represented; these included the number of teachers and students in Indiana, as well as numbers related to education budgeting.

This event was the first of the 2019 Intern Speaker Series. The series' next speaker is Governor Eric Holcomb, who will be speaking to interns on June 27.


Angel Mounds

The Run The State series is presented by Invest in Your Health Indiana, the state employee wellness program. State employees and their families are invited to participate in three 5K events and two hikes. On June 22, a 5K event will take place at Angel Mounds State Historic Site in Evansville, IN.

Angel Mounds is one of Indiana's oldest Native American sites and was built between A.D.1000 and 1450. The site holds eleven mounds built to elevate and display important buildings of the Mississippian people, and was abandoned before European explorers came to North America.
