Center for Information & Communication Sciences

Each year a diverse, interdisciplinary group of master candidates comes to the Center. During that year, students are challenged in ways they may never have been before or could ever have imagined. They are supported in their efforts by faculty and staff as they learn and grow and leave the Center prepared to continue the lifelong learning necessary in our tech-centered world.

 

CICS wants to continue providing unique out-of-classroom experiences for current and future graduate candidates. Support from One Ball State Day will provide scholarships for student travel to professional conferences, scholarships for professional certifications, and support of professional development activities for all our students throughout each 11-month academic year.

 

To our loyal CICS alumni:

You are the BEST. You give back because you know what you gained from the CICS experience. Besides your financial support, you are involved in professional development activities, you support class projects, you serve on panels; the list is endless. We are asking you – even those who already give regularly, to increase your financial support, just a bit on this day. If you haven’t given recently, here’s an easy and low-pressure way to give. If every one of our over 1800 alumni gave just $5, that participation would be impressive. How about $10? Clearly, you can do the math. But, it’s about more than math; it’s about the act of giving, no matter the amount. Help CICS continue to develop the next generation of tech leaders by making a donation today – One Ball State Day.
