BSUAA 1999-2000 Annual Report, Executive Message

Annual Report Thank you for your interest in, and continued involvement with, the Ball State University Alumni Executive Message Association. On the following pages we will publicly report the past year's achievements and Organizational accomplishments of the BSUAA. Flow Chart I am fortunate to serve as executive director of the Alumni Leadership Ball State University Alumni Association and as an administrative official for our 113,922 alumni. The Alumni academic year 1999-2000 was one of expanded Ambassadors activity, reconnection, and technology advancement for the BSUAA. Alumni Contacts Mary Link, Connersville, and Tony Schneider, Indianapolis, led your Alumni Staff governing body, the Alumni Council, during the past fiscal year. They and the university administration should be congratulated for Alumni Programs providing the vision to create a valuable and vibrant Alumni Association. Alumni Awards The most visible new project for the past year was the establishment of CART (Cardinal Alumni Recruitment Team), a group of alumni Alumni Reunions from around the country who volunteer to assist the BSUAA to identify, recruit, and retain quality students for Ball State University. Professional and Currently we have 44 CART members in 11 states and have Constituent awarded ten $500 scholarships to successfully recruited students. Societies Traditional activities: reunions, Alumni College Weekend, alumni golf Financial Summary outings, Homecoming, and the production of the Ball State Alumnus were very successful and provided excellent opportunities for Past Activities individuals to reconnect with the campus and other alumni. Our Calendar service programs: Cardinal Alumni Retail Discount (CARD), alumni insurance programs, and First USA affinity credit card continued to expand and add benefit for individual alumni. Finally, the revamping of our BSUAA Web site and its increased usage by our alumni are both rewarding and predictive of the future. With the close of academic year 2000, University President John E. Worthen retired after 16 successful years of leadership. The BSUAA benefited greatly during his tenure. A few examples were the opening of the Alumni Center, the addition of 52,839 new alumni (this represents 46.4% of all Ball State alumni), and the reorganization of the BSUAA in 1988. Through his leadership, support, and tolerance, the BSUAA has a structure for the future, has become one of the best in the Mid-American Conference, and is one of the top-50 alumni associations in the country. It has been my privilege to participate in this extremely rewarding year, the productive results of which have come from countless hours of effort by our dedicated alumni volunteers and staff. Their contributions have guided us through another successful year of serving a diverse alumni population. THANK YOU! Your investment is both appreciated and greatly respected. Happy Days, http://www.bsu.edu/web/alumni/annual_report/2000/ (1 of 2) [07/08/2003 1:21:52 PM] BSUAA 1999-2000 Annual Report, Executive Message

ADMISSIONS RECRUITMENT

Prospective Student Receptions Receptions for prospective students were held in Indiana, Chicago, and Cincinnati by Ball State's Office of Admissions with the assistance of alumni. Alumni volunteers staffed registration tables and served as welcoming ambassadors for the university. A total of 47 alumni volunteers worked at the receptions. A list of last year's admissions receptions is included in the past activities section of this report.

Alumni/Admissions Partnership The Cardinal Alumni Recruitment Team (CART) is a network of alumni volunteers who assist Ball State University with student recruitment. Formed in 1999 by the Alumni Association and the Office of Admissions, the goal of the CART program is to identify, recruit, and retain quality students for Ball State University. CART members were involved during the fiscal year 1999-2000 in various capacities during the admission process. CART members worked to increase the quality of students enrolling in Ball State University, enhanced students' access to Ball State University from their local communities, and extended the University's geographic reach to allow greater diversity and selectivity of students. In 1999-2000, CART members represented Ball State at area college fairs, contacted and referred prospective students, and served as ambassadors at admissions receptions. A bus trip in which CART members brought 133 high school students from throughout Indiana and Chicago to campus was held on January 8. Prospective students were served lunch, received admissions and financial aid information, met with counselors, and attended a Ball State basketball game. Founding members of CART were: Illinois - Michael Flack, Susan J. Taylor, and Keith Robinson; Indiana - Gayle Hartleroad, Michael Hawley, Jenell Joiner, Vicki Mauro, Andrea McDonald, Charmaine Powell, Foster Stephens, and Constance Winfrey; Kansas - Laurie Fallon, and John and Judith Yount; Kentucky - Bill Clark, Virginia Hatfield, Elinore Jeffcoat, Stephen Schnacke, Amy Shaper, David Voglund, Chad and Tamara Waggoner, and Jaeson Welch; Missouri - James Bryan, Andrew and Tara Pickard, and Carolyn Steinfeldt; New York - Richard Poppa and Krishna Thomas; Ohio - Wendy Greeley, Kerry Hendel, Michael and Patrycja Thomas, and Jewell Weiss; Pennsylvania - Cynthia Gilfoyle; Texas - Ed McGuire; Virginia - Erin Kennedy; and Wisconsin - Christine Finiak. The CART scholarship, worth $500 each, was available to incoming freshmen. The following students received CART scholarships for the 1999-2000 academic year: Elizabeth G. Davis, R. Nelson Snider High School, Fort Wayne; Joey R. Duncan, Avon High School, Avon; Justin M. Pose, South Side High School, Fort Wayne; Lorinda M. Sliger, Elkhart Memorial High School, Elkhart; Carinne S. Uslar, South Side High School, Fort Wayne; and Tamara L. Williams, Bluffton High School, Bluffton.

Alumni Legacy Scholarship The Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship is offered to show appreciation to alumni who contributed to the enrichment and growth of Ball State University through active membership in the Alumni Association. The scholarship is a one-time, nonrenewable award that assists entering freshmen or currently enrolled students who are children or grandchildren of alumni. Legacy Scholarships are awarded annually by the Alumni Council, the governing body of the Ball State University Alumni Association. Forty scholarships for $1,500 each were awarded for the 1999-2000 academic year. For a listing of the 1999 recipients, their parents and/or grandparents, and hometowns, see the Awards and Scholarships section of this report.

ALUMNI ACTIVITIES

Indiana Alumni Clubs Alumni Clubs serve geographic areas where there are significant numbers of Ball State alumni. Club volunteers organized educational and social activities for alumni and university friends. These activities helped to continue and develop new relationships that were of benefit to alumni, university friends, and Ball State. The activities organized by club boards included golf and dinner outings, continuing professional educational seminars, receptions and dinners for university representatives, social functions such as holiday bus shopping trips, family zoo outings, picnic and baseball games, casino nights, TGIFs, hockey games and pre-athletic events. Alumni Club members also worked with the Office of Admissions at annual receptions for prospective students. Alumni clubs worked to improve existing activities and looked for additional ways to involve alumni and friends through new events. The Northeastern Indiana Alumni Club golf and dinner outing continued to be the best attended of all the summer golf outings. Greater Indianapolis area club member, Steph Meyers, '91MA92, organized an outing to watch the Indianapolis Ice at Conseco Fieldhouse that was voted the best new club activity for 1999-2000.

The Indiana Jobs Marketplace, an online program that provides links to various Indiana company Web sites with information technology job postings, remains an important part of alumni career resources.

Companies linked from the site included: Bell Tech.logix; BitWise Solutions, Inc.; DataShare; Indiana Information Technology Association (INITA); Major Hospital; Ontario Systems Corporation; Sherry Laboratories; Tivoli; USA Group; and Vector Technologies, Inc.

The number of annual career fairs, coordinated by the Ball State University Career Center and sponsored by the Alumni Association, increased and were open to both students and alumni.
