Caleb Chance's inclusion in the Conexus Rising 30 for 2024 highlights his achievements in advanced manufacturing and logistics (AML). As a graduate and adjunct professor at Ivy Tech Indianapolis, Chance has shown leadership and innovation, qualities Conexus values in young industry leaders.

Chance started his education at Ivy Tech's Anderson campus in 2017 after finishing high school at 17. Encouraged by his family to learn a trade, he chose to study computer-aided design (CAD), influenced by his brother, a welding engineer. His interest in CAD led him to transfer to the Indianapolis campus, which offered a wider range of courses.

At Ivy Tech Indianapolis, Chance valued the small class sizes and the hands-on teaching approach. He began his classes during a solar eclipse, marking the start of a significant phase in his education. He appreciated the community feel and the direct involvement of the program chair in teaching.

After earning a degree in design technology in 2019, Chance worked in the field before returning to Ivy Tech for a second degree in building construction management. He aimed to understand both design and construction to better coordinate with clients. He graduated again in 2022 and now works as a civil designer and office CAD coordinator.

Beyond his job, Chance teaches as an adjunct professor at Ivy Tech and serves on the Design Technology Advisory Board. He played a key role in promoting the Civil Design course, leading to its first enrollments in years, reflecting his commitment to education and industry needs.
