“It is an honor to join the INVestEd board and to support its efforts to make higher education more accessible and affordable for Indiana students and families,” Guevara said. “INVestEd is a trusted partner for Hoosiers who need guidance and resources to navigate the complex and evolving landscape of education financing. I look forward to working with my fellow board members and the staff of INVestEd to help more students achieve their educational and career goals.”
Prior to joining IU, Guevara served as the deputy assistant secretary for regional affairs at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he oversaw the department’s regional operations and initiatives. He also has extensive experience in community and economic development.
Guevara’s appointment to the INVestEd board will last until December 31, 2026. He will join other board members who represent various sectors of Indiana’s education, banking, and business communities.
