Preferred Citation Burris Laboratory School records and publications, Archives and Special Collections, Ball State University Libraries - Page 3 - Burris Laboratory School records and publications RG.15.02.02 Historical Note Burris Laboratory School was established in 1929 as a part of the Ball State University Teachers College, and the Muncie School system. The school was named for Dr. Benjamin Burris, Dean of the Teachers College at the time of the laboratory school's construction. In 1974, Burris Laboratory School left the Muncie Schools system and opened enrollment to the entire state of Indiana. In 1990, after the addition of the Indiana Academy of Science, Mathematics, and Humanities, Burris became a part of University Schools. After Burris and the Indiana Academy became separate corporations in 2004, Burris was the only remaining school in the Burris Laboratory School Corporation. As a part of Ball State University, Burris does not have a school board. Instead, the Ball State University Board of Trustees is the ultimate authority for school policies. In 1993, the building in which Burris has been housed since its inception, underwent an 11.7 million dollar renovation. In addition to improving the appearance of the school, the renovation also included upgrades to the facilities including new computer labs, a distance-learning studio, and well-equipped science laboratories. Burris Laboratory School is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and by the State of Indiana.

  • By Hannah Gunnell Thesis Advisor Dr. Michae
    The Ball State University Honors College Oral History Project An Honor Thesis (499) by Hannah Gunnell Thesis Advisor Dr. Michael Doyle Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 29, 2019 Expected Date of Graduation May 2020 Abstract The Ball State University Honors College is a liberal arts institution in a public university. As the first Honors Program in the state of Indiana, the Honors College is the birthplace of creativity, innovation and profound thought. Despite the significance of the Honors College, there is no current written history of the Ball State University Honors College on its sixtieth anniversary. This project aims to contribute to the history of the Ball State University Honors College by using long-form, oral history interviews to create primary sources of the Honors College. We used oral history interviews as the medium to do this because the oral history interview better showcases the subject’s emotions, putting the humanity back in history. My portion of the project included the interview of three faculty members, Dr. Joseph Trimmer, Dr. John Emert, and Dr. Donald Gilman, which will be added to the other thirty-one administrators, staff, faculty and alumni. All the interviews will be permanently archived from the Ball State University Libraries Digital Media Repository, where the videos will be streamable and the transcripts accessible. By interviewing these faculty, I discovered how the Honors College offered opportunities that impacted the university as a whole. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Michael Doyle for personally inviting me to partake in this project. His recognition of my potential allowed me to advance my research and interviewing abilities, which not only aided in this project, but also aided me in my journalism career.

  • Orientation 2021 | Student Handbook
    Orientation 2021 STUDENT HANDBOOK Welcome to Ball State University! Every year, we welcome thousands of new students to our University as part of Orientation. Right now, because of the COVID pandemic, we have moved our Orientation sessions online to prioritize the health and safety of our new students and their families. As we found in Summer 2020, our incoming students benefited from many of the tools we offered them as part of our University’s transition to virtual Orientation sessions. Through the use of video chats, online breakout sessions, and personalized virtual advising sessions, our incoming students had access to the tools and resources they needed to help them prepare for their academic career at Ball State. As you engage in your own virtual Orientation with us, I anticipate that you will have an equally positive experience. If you need to connect with our staff, or if you are seeking ways to interact with other students online, please refer to this handbook for all the information you need to prepare to become a Cardinal. On the next page you will find our Beneficence Pledge, which articulates our commitment to the enduring values of academic excellence, innovation, courage, integrity, inclusiveness, social responsibility, and gratitude. These values are intrinsic to Ball State’s culture—and these values serve as our guide through these challenging and uncertain times. I know that Orientation provides you with a fuller understanding of what it means to be a Ball State Cardinal as a student—and, ultimately, as a graduate. Talented and resourceful students like you are at the heart of everything we do.
