In honor of the generosity of the Ball family, the Indiana General Assembly changed the name to the Ball State Teachers College in 1929, and later the statue Beneficence was commemorated in their honor. The 1960s would have a large influx of students from outside the Midwest looking for differing majors, thus allowing Ball State to incorporate more into what it offers. In 1965 the Indiana General Assembly renamed the school to Ball State University in recognition of the immense growth in facilities and enrollment. Now, in 2017, roughly 21,000 graduate and undergraduate students enroll each year to study in one of the over 200 programs Fast Facts We have 22,513 students who attend Total campus population of 16,825, including 15,379 undergraduates and 1,446 graduate students 17.9% were non-Residents of Indiana as of 2016 62.5% of our population is female 21.1% of our population are of color 4,002 incoming freshmen 73% of incoming freshmen earned an Honors Diploma and a 3.5 GPA 190 Majors, 130 minor areas of study 30 Majors have a “Degree in 3” opportunity 400+ Clubs and organizations on campus 2 Our residence Halls are the perfect place for any demigod who is trying to harness their inner-strength and go straight from Zero to Hero. Some of our halls offer in-house dining facilities and a majority of the halls are considered Living Learning Communities (LLC) which offer resources to the residents if they are of that major. When filling out housing contracts students are given the option to state if they want to be in their LLC. Johnson Complex Our two newest residence halls, Botsford/ Swinford opening in 2015 and Schmidt/Wilson opening for the 2017 school year. These halls house our Emerging Media/ Communication and Theatre/ Dance and Design LLC. Holds majority of our Freshman population and home to our STEM, Business, and LaFollette Complex Discover Living-Learning Communities. Living Spaces: Brayton/Clevenger Knotts/Edwards Mysch Shively LaFollette also contains Out of Bounds and The Buff, a convenience area with hot food and a buffet respectively. 3 Kinghorn Built in 2010, Kinghorn commonly houses Sophomores and higher residents. It also features its own inner courtyard, unique compared to other halls. For food, students can get Tom John’s on the first floor, where hot food and a convenience section is available. This complex houses any grade level of student and provides resource rooms for the Early & Elementry Education, Social Sciences, and International/ Languages LLC. Studebaker Complex Living Spaces: Studebaker East Studebaker West: Painter/Witcraft Palmer/Davidson A convenience store sits in the bottom of Studebaker West, allowing a quick trip in and out for snacks. Noyer houses a mix off all grade levels and Noyer Complex caters to the needs of those studying in the Health Professions field. Living Spaces: Howick/ Williams Baker/ Klipple One of the most popular food courts are here, the Noyer Food Mall, as well as The Retreat, a buffet style court. 4 Woodworth All women residence hall, where WOW (Women of Woodworth) is commonly seen. Home of the Nursing LLC For food, one can eat at the Woodworth Commons, which is also the main court for Freshman Orientation over the summer. Park Park is typically home to our upperclassmen honor students. Park’s MPR room is also home to many campus events including our RHA GAs. DeHority DeHority, most commonly referred to as DeHo is home to the Honor Students. This hall is also most often used during summer orientations to give the incoming students a taste of residence hall life. 5 Elliott The only hall to have a 21 and over floor and one of the oldest buildings on campus, Elliott is also within a short distance of Elliott Dining, a buffet style dining facility. The Atrium The Tally At the Atrium, student can choose from name The Tally, located in our Student Center, brand foods like Chick-fil-A or Papa Johns, or offers options like Taco Bell and Starbucks just pick something up from the McKinley Grille. as well as a kitchen with a rotating menu. The Atrium is also in charge of our library coffee shop, the Bookmark Cafe, and Jamba Juice in the bookstore. 6 The Residence Hall Association (RHA) of Ball State University is an organization committed to improving the lives of those living in on-campus. We look to provide opportunities for residents to get involved on campus and socialize through the variety of programs we throw annually, and more so look for ways to provide a way to let them voice their concerns and opinions about our residence halls. We look to serve the residents on campus in a multitude of ways, and are constantly looking for better ways to achieve that goal. Our RHA governs over 13 hall councils on campus, with two representatives from each but Elliott Hall, which has one. All of our General Assembly meetings are accompanied by liaisons from other major organizations on campus, National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH), Student Government Association (SGA), Partnership for Student Sustainable Advancement (PSSA), Student Action Team (SAT), and the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS). There is also a seating gallery available for anybody who wishes to sit in our meetings, or who wish to speak about an issue. During the General Assembly meeting, our four advisors are normally present to be able to give insight and information when needed during meetings, and are also present for our executive meetings. In executive board meetings we commonly handle fund requests from differing organizations to bring to our representatives, and ultimately their hall councils to vote on. Most weeks we also allow time for our three committees to work with their respective board member to make sure our services on campus are being properly provided. This is the first year where our executive board is under a new structure. Originally, we had a Treasurer, Secretary, and an Outreach position which originally made a newsletter and helped with PR. After a semester of not having a Secretary, where our Treasurer took over many of the duties, we have since combined the positions as “Vice President of Administration”. Outreach was written out of our constitution and replaced with “Vice President of Programming”, a position to help serve as a middleman between our Activities and Public Relations Director and put in help where it is needed. Reducing the positions has so far streamlined our elections and business meetings with less voices and more efficient voting and discussion. Our current Vice President of Programming has been working with advisors to explore the role of his position and help dictate what it can do for the organization. This process of consolidation has not affected our committees at all for our representatives either. They have plenty of opportunities to be involved with our executive board’s processes and increase their campus involvement to as much as they want. 7 President Vice President of Vice President of Vice President of Administration Leadership Programming Kathy Berryhill Jackie Weisenfelder Branden Jones Justin Fields National Public Relations Issues and Communications Activities Director Director Facilities Director Coordinator Sam Adams Allyssa Burdine Jacob Hanson Cody Metcalf 8 Coming into the year we had three larger goals that we plan to achieve and during every meeting, be it Exec or General Assembly we work to achieve them. Listed below are those main goals and what we’ve done to achieve them: Increase our advertising to boost attendance o We streamed live on Facebook for the first time o We have started incorporating more snapchat filters o We have considered new methods of advertising such as dining table sets and seeing how it could fit in our budget Increasing our availability to Hall Councils o We started our first RHA With U Program o We have encouraged participation with our own hall councils o We have made our office hours and contact info more available o We have created GroupMe’s to be able to reach out easier Increasing our ability to react to campus needs or general events o We quickly paired with SGA to fundraise money to send to Houston o We are looking to pair with Step In and Speak Out to promote sexual assault awareness 9 Rock the Halls Rock the Halls is our new start (and hopefully a tradition) for students for the Academic Year, and is our largest event with an equally large budget. Advertised throughout campus, plus streaming on Facebook Live for the first time, we were able to reach more students than ever, hosting an attendance of 1,600 students total. The first two hours of the event had several inflatables, tie dye (with 400 free t-shirts with the RHA logo for participants provided by RHA), corn hole, a photo booth, and various kinds of food (ice cream, sno-cones, cotton candy, and popcorn). Once the sun has set, we then show a movie, this year showcasing 22 Jump Street. This event also requires a host of volunteers for the scale of it that we get from past student leaders, members of our summer bridge programs, and other student organizations.
