Indiana Technical College was founded in 1930 as a for-profit private technical college by John A. Kalbfleisch, a former president of Indiana Business College, a for-profit business school. Formally, Indiana Tech was incorporated in 1931 and opened for classes that same year. Indiana Tech was rechartered during August 1948 as a non-profit, endowed college.
In 1953, Indiana Tech purchased the 20-acre (81,000 m2) campus of Concordia Theological Seminary’s campus east of downtown Fort Wayne from the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, as Concordia was moving to its suburban location north of Fort Wayne. In 1963 the name was changed from Indiana Technical College to Indiana Institute of Technology.

sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
