Our Students are Driven to Succeed through Applied Experiences

On One Ball State Day, you can help more students access applied learning experiences that will change their lives.

When Ella Feliciano landed her dream internships with the Indianapolis Colts and the Pacers, she was ready to deliver on day one. She credits the immersive projects and professional networks at Ball State for giving her the confidence and experience to compete at the highest level.

“My marketing immersive learning class taught me the foundations of building a campaign from strategy to documentation, but more importantly, it gave me real hands-on experience. It was the bridge between learning marketing and actually doing it." — Ella F., Marketing Student

Ella’s story isn’t an exception, it’s what happens when students have access to meaningful, hands-on opportunities. But many cannot pursue these experiences without financial support. Donors like you help remove those barriers, so these life-changing experiences become a reality for more students like Ella. 

We Need you to Fuel the Bridge from Learning to Doing 

Your generosity funds experiences that build industry-ready skills, confidence, and connections needed to excel in today's job market. A Ball State marketing degree is defined by doing, and you make that possible.  

Every contribution counts! With as little as $5, your gift could support things such as::

  • Helping students accept internships and serve local communities and nonprofits, regardless of financial barriers.
  • Send students to national conferences where they network with recruiters, industry leaders, executives, and future employers.
  • Fund student research and presentations that prepare students for competitive careers and graduate programs.
  • Expand global business perspectives through international learning experiences that will build confidence and enhance leadership.
