Elizabethtown, Kentucky
Rarely have our staff received a welcome as warm and enthusiastic as we experienced in Elizabethtown. From the first meeting with Elizabethtown Community & Technical College (ECTC), it was clear that a collaboration was beginning to support not only student parents and their families but also any student or prospective student wanting the education necessary for their chosen career field. With the new and innovative industries coming to Hardin County, FSH is glad to be a partner in preparing area residents for new workforce opportunities. In addition to having an office and staff at ECTC, Family Scholar House is working with the college and community leadership to build a residential campus for student-parent families. To learn more visit:
On Friday, November 8, Family Scholar House Chief Possibility Officer, President and CEO Cathe Dykstra, along with 3rd District Congressman Morgan McGarvey and his Senior Advisor, Joni Jenkins, were given a tour by CEO Robin Bertram-Brown of the MMY US factory in Louisville where the Multiplex modular apartments are being manufactured that will make up the new Benedictine Scholar House on the Ivy Tech Community College campus in Sellersburg, Indiana.
Combining the efficiency of manufactured housing with the quality and scalability of traditional construction, the Multiplex is faster, more accurate and more sustainable, requires 70% fewer site workers, offers better, safer working conditions, employs methods and materials that ensure units remain free from mold, and more. The last images here show two finished units outside the factory, as well as the interior of a finished, assembled and furnished unit.

It’s Throwback Thursday, but we’re only throwing it back two weeks, to the evening Family Scholar House was honored at Ivy Tech Community & Technical College’s “Night of Impact” gala at Huber Winery & Vineyards in Indiana.
As we work toward the opening of our newest campus at Ivy Tech in Sellersburg, Chancellor Travis Haire, PhD, presented this year’s Impact Award to Family Scholar House Chief Possibility Officer, President & CEO Cathe Dykstra in recognition of our mission to “Open Doors and Unlock Dreams” for families across the area.
Also present were a number of Sisters of St. Benedict from Ferdinand, Indiana, whose partnership made it possible for the Ivy Tech project to be completed in a single phase instead of two. In recognition of their support, Cathe Dykstra announced that the new campus will officially be named the Benedictine Scholar House.
And Destiny C., a graduate of Ivy Tech and a participant in Family Scholar House, shared her personal journey of overcoming obstacles to pursue her dream of becoming a neurosurgeon. She highlighted the impact of the support she received from both institutions, which provided her with a stable environment and community as a single mother.
