One Ball State Day is becoming a tradition which inspires and unites the University community. During this time of national and world-wide crisis, that has never been truer. The Miller College of Business is incredibly proud of the passion and resilience of our Ball State students. Should you feel compelled to support the next generation of Cardinal alumni, please consider a gift to the Jack Beyerl Student Emergency Aid fund on One Ball State Day. Funds to specifically support Miller students are listed for your consideration as well. From the bottom of our hearts, and on behalf of every student, thank you.
One Ball State Day to Remember
As one Ball State MBA graduate told us, “I think that going back and pursuing your MBA proves to people that you’re driven, you’re motivated, you’re goal-oriented,” he says. “If I didn’t have [the MBA], I might find myself struggling to be considered for upper-level senior positions.” Like so many other Ball State MBA graduates in Indiana and elsewhere, this alumnus is part of a network that helps connects current MBA students to the business community.
An elite accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), a consistent ranking in the U.S. News and World Report top 20 best online MBA programs, five concentrations from which to choose, affordability, and the flexibility of attending online, on campus, or a blend of both make the Ball State MBA a great option for professionals navigating today’s global and digital economy.
Alumni Carolyn VanSickle, who says the MBA provided a real-world work environment, and Jonathan Kirkwood, who launched Indiana’s first boutique biotechnology investment fund, are fitting examples of those young professionals.
How You Can Help
As we celebrate One Ball State Day, a one-day donation event for friends of the university, we are thinking of priority opportunities which will enhance the Ball State MBA experience for students:
- Case competitions, in which students collaborate to solve a business problem
- Networking and mentoring opportunities with peers and alumni
- Scholarship opportunities
- Travel and fees for students to attend conferences
Thank you for considering a gift to support one of our priority areas—or a gift that would support your passion for another program of the Ball State community.
We believe this is One Ball State Day that will make a dramatic difference.
