Rahschulte comes to Tri-C from Ivy Tech Community College in Indiana, which offers more than 70 academic programs at 19 full-service campuses and an additional 26 learning locations.

She also supports Ivy Tech's institutional accreditation and assessment processes and provides administrative support and advocacy for Ivy Tech's Statewide Faculty Council.

During her tenure, Rahschulte served the Ivy Tech community through her work as the vice president of K-14 and Statewide Initiatives, site director for the Batesville Campus Operations and dean of Arts, Sciences and Education. She has also served the students of Ivy Tech as a full-time faculty member and the faculty as the chair of the Social/Behavioral Sciences and Humanities department.

An active member of the national community college movement and regional organizations, she has collaborated with a number of organizations throughout her career, including as a commissioner on the American Association of Community College's Commission for College Readiness, a member of the advisory board for the Indiana Office of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship, a member of the executive board of the Boy Scouts of America's Hoosier Trails Council, and formerly on the board of directors for the United Way of Greater Cincinnati.
