One Ball State Day 2024

The Division of Student Affairs is dedicated to enhancing the educational experience and providing opportunities to help students develop the skills they need to succeed both at Ball State and beyond! Whether a student is involved in what’s happening on campus, need someone to talk to, or wants to explore your options for handling a particular situation, we can help! Our focus is to provide you an environment that allows you to reach your full potential while ensuring barriers to success to success are removed.

We thank you for your commitment to the Division of Student Affairs and your recognition of the wide range of programs and services designed to enhance the student experience on campus. We are proud to engage students in the exploration of personal interests, development of leadership skills, and prepare students to be active citizens. And finally, we are grateful to our donors whose support directly provides student scholarships, emergency aid, and positive social programming to our students. These gifts are invaluable to our students.
