Ivy Tech Community College Recognized by U.S. Department of War

Bloomington, IN: Mr. Steven Green, of Ivy Tech Community College, was recognized with an Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Patriot Award. ESGR is a Department of War office.

Mr. Green was nominated by Staff Sergeant (SSG) Garrett Middleton, who serves with the U.S. Army Reserve. SSG Middleton shares, "I recognized Steven's support for my Reserve career three years ago when I nominated him for the ESGR Seven Seals Award. Since then, he continues to support me in the Army Reserve and has also had our leadership sign a Statement of Support. I've heard from others the ways Ivy Tech supports its Guard and Reserve members, but Steven really makes me believe he and the college are there to support me through missions and training. Steven clears my schedule and covers for me personally or finds someone to cover for me when I'm away at training. As a Drill Sergeant in the Army Reserve, I do more than just one weekend a month and two weeks a year, and Steven allows me to bring my civilian experience and skill into missions and training. 2025 is a perfect example of how well he supports the mission of the Army Reserve. Steven allowed me to be absent from work to complete Annual Training for a total of 18 days even though 8 days of orders were all that were provided."

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Steven Green on his recognition. Thank you for all you & Ivy Tech Community College do to support our Guard and Reserve Service members.
