Graduating guards at the David Owsley Museum of Art reflect on

The outgoing guards at DOMA have a special shared experience through their on-campus employment.

The David Owsley Museum of Art (DOMA) doesn’t only house art.

For many Ball State University students, it houses opportunity.

Graduate and social media assistant, and former DOMA intern and guard, Taylor Hamblin spent the past two years working at the museum surrounded with possibilities to further her career while at Ball State.

“I started here as a guard and really loved it here,” Hamblin said. “I felt comfortable enough to apply to go higher up, and here I still am.”

Art majors are not the only people eligible to be guard or getting an internship at DOMA. Assistant Director Rachel Buckmaster said she doesn’t want anyone to feel discouraged from applying due to not being an art student.

“We have guards from practically every college,” Buckmaster said.

Similar to other on-campus jobs, applications can be found on Cardinal Career Link when positions are available.

The guards at DOMA are more than just the individuals seen sitting in the corners of the museum’s various galleries. They become the personality of the museum, as Buckmaster described.

“I’ve always thought of [student guards] as the eyes and ears of the museum,” Buckmaster said. “Thousands of people come in here, and I talk to very few. Overwhelmingly, if someone comes in and they talk to someone from DOMA, it’s almost always one of the guards.”

This isn’t the only way they impact the museum. Fourth-year student and guard Hannah Schneider has felt the impact she’s been able to make in the community as well.

“I’ve been able to participate by doing or suggesting DOMA kids activities, and that’s actually how I got my position as the Dean’s Student Advisory Council representative,” Schneider said. “I proposed that we create a fortune teller for kids to get them more engaged in the artwork.”

As a member of the Dean’s Student Advisory Council, Schneider said she advocates for herself and other guards.

“I speak on behalf of the guards on what things we need or what things could we have to be more successful here at the museum to help guests feel more welcome or, just in general, make the museum more accessible,” Schneider said.

She said when it came to first getting involved with the museum, a friend helped pique her interest.

“I came to Ball State as a transfer student, and one of my friends I first met here took me to the museum,” Schneider said. “That’s how I got introduced to the entire collection. The fact that [Ball State] has a full-fledged art museum on campus is pretty rare.”

Hamblin agreed and said not only is the museum’s existence unique but so is the experience and connection it can give students.

“It is my college experience,” Hamblin said. “I was walking around trying to take pictures of things and it tugs at my heart because it’s just such a good place to grow.”

She said an important part of her college experience was finding a healthy and supportive workplace environment, which was something DOMA provided.

“I’ve gotten super good experience [in public relations],” Hamblin said. “I’ve been able to because I’m comfortable. I’m able to spout out ideas and not be afraid.”

She said the community and friendships built by the staff are also an imperative part of working at DOMA, fostering a welcoming environment.

“I got to meet a lot of different people from all backgrounds — people I never would have met if I hadn’t worked with them,” Schneider said. “Some of these people I’ve had consistent close friendships with and have been able to connect with even after they graduate.”

Hamblin echoed similar sentiments about friendships and expressed the importance of community.

“If you talk to the guards, they’ll always tell you the same things. They’ll say they love to be surrounded by the art, they love the community and they love the supervisors, which is rare,” Hamblin said. “People love each other here.”

These connections entail more than just friendship, for Schneider it has been a learning experience.

“I get to learn about other people’s experiences, the work that they do and the interests that they have to broaden my worldview,” Schneider said.

DOMA also showcased a glimpse into the world of public relations for Hamblin and her career, which she is more specifically interested in.

“It’s made me appreciate being able to see all the working parts of a museum but also to be a nonprofit because I really want to work with a nonprofit,” Hamblin said.

With many guards and interns filtering in and out of the museum, the impact they have on the way DOMA is run and received by the public is clear to Buckmaster.

“They contribute to everything we do, and I feel strongly that I learned as much from them as they did from me,” Buckmaster said. “We really do value them and couldn’t do what we do without them.”

Not only has DOMA had an impact on both of their college careers, but it also serves as the place where they close their college journeys, as commencement is on the lawn in front of the stairs to the museum.

“I feel like I have the most special connection ever,” Hamblin said.

At the southernmost point of campus is the Ball State University Center for Peace and Conflict Studies, a place dedicated to promoting peace-building and conflict resolution.

The center offers several academic programs where students can address all forms of violence through various projects and activities that allow them to resolve conflicts healthily.

One key program offered by the center is the peace studies and conflict resolution minor for undergraduate students. The interdisciplinary minor consists of 18 credits and “teaches strategies such as mediation, conflict prevention and resolution to promote nonviolence, meditation and mindfulness to facilitate physical and mental health and wellbeing,” according to Ball State’s undergraduate catalog.

Lawrence Gerstein, director of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies, said undergraduate students taking the interdisciplinary minor can take courses in many different areas, such as political science, journalism and social work.

Fourth-year history and political science major Ben Brewer, graduating in July, said adding the minor has helped him further his undergraduate studies.

“The program prepares students for encouraging positive peace within their daily lives … [Students] learn concepts [like] mediation and active listening,” Brewer said.

Gerstein said the center’s internship program allows students to assist with writing, researching and drafting grant proposals for the center.

“[Student interns are] instrumental in our conceptualization and implementation of our conferences,” Gerstein said.

AGENTS OF POSITIVE CHANGE

However, the Center for Peace offers opportunities to more than just undergraduate students. Its graduate assistant program equips students with the tools and knowledge to become leaders in the field of peace and conflict studies.

“[Graduate assistants are] teaching the interns how to use different databases to gather information for grants and for research studies,” Gerstein said.

Coming to Ball State for both her master’s and doctorate of counseling psychology, Madison Pavone was asked by Gerstein to be the organization’s current graduate assistant in 2022, serving a two-year term.

In her role as a graduate assistant, Pavone works with undergraduate students, helps plan events and writes book reviews for the center. She also has helped with conflict resolution training for Muncie Community Schools (MCS) to help educators with mediation skills.

“It has been very beneficial for me professionally and personally,” Pavone said. “It has given me some serious organizational skills that I can take on in any future position I have.”

The Center for Peace also offers funds for Ball State faculty and graduate students for nonviolence-related research projects. The Benjamin V. Cohen Peace Grant, named after the Muncie-born lawyer who played a role in creating the United Nations, has been supported by the Cohen Memorial Fund since 1984.

In 2017, the Peace Grant was given to a Ball State research team that included Lindsey Blom, professor of sport and exercise psychology, and Gerstein.

With the Cohen Grant money, Blom, a former interim director for the Center for Peace, was able to travel across the world to study Sport for Social Change, a program that increases resolution skills through sporting events.

Ball State’s Center for Peace and Conflict Studies provides many academic opportunities for students and faculty.

The finished research article, published in 2021, outlined how effective coaching implements good sportsmanship among young athletes.

Blom said the Cohen Grant is extremely versatile.

“It’s one of those grants that almost every faculty member on campus could find a way to connect with,” Blom said.

One of the center’s most notable contributions to the graduate program is its annual Peace Conference, which brings together scholars, practitioners, and students to discuss and share ideas about peacebuilding and conflict resolution. “Helping prepare for the annual Peace Conference has been extremely rewarding, along with writing weekly stories focused on altruism and positive news,” he said.

Through its academic programs, internships and conferences, the center inspires students to become advocates for peace and agents of change in their communities and beyond. Pavone said her two years working for the center provided her with valuable lessons she will put forward in her career after completing her degree.

“Being exposed to all the different [types of] research allows me to have more knowledge about what I’m going to do research on,” she said.

Ball State women’s basketball seniors Estel Puiggros and Annie Rauch share a special friendship.

A friendship that spans years all started on the sixth floor of Studebaker East.

New roommates often text, call or direct message each other before moving in together, but Ball State women’s basketball seniors Estel Puiggros and Annie Rauch never did. Move-in day of their freshman year was the first time they spoke.

Hailing from Spain, Puiggros said it was hard to understand the “funny and loud” friend that just entered her life.

Rauch recounts Puiggros’ outgoing nature and, most notably, the high temperature she liked in their room.

“It was a big problem for us,” Annie said. “For the first month of living in the dorms we never spoke about the temperature but passively aggressively moved it up and down. I like it cold and she likes it hot.”

Laura Rauch, Annie’s mom, remembers meeting Puiggros for the first time.

Laura wondered if the seemingly opposite pair would work well together after that first day, but she said it was only a matter of time before the two were side by side. The teammates have lived together ever since.

“Of course, we were shy at the beginning, but after a week or so, she was my sister, and I knew it was going to be like that for the rest of the year,” Puiggros said.

Annie said she and Puiggros have the same “easy-going” nature, making it easy to become friends.

“They just worked so well together,” Laura said. “They are very, very different, but they are the perfect pair.”

Navigating a home away from home

Though they are described as a perfect pair now, their friendship started by helping a “thick-accented Spaniard.” Puigross was often shy to speak with her little knowledge of English at the time.

“I did not want to talk much, but [Annie] made the time and effort to try and understand me,” Puiggros said.

Through Google Translate or even their shared but limited proficiency in French, Puiggros said Annie made the effort. At restaurants, Puiggros asked Annie to order for her, but time and time again, Annie forced her out of her comfort zone.

Annie said working with Puiggros helped advance Puiggros’ English. Annie said the help was not just a one-way street. She said Puiggros pushed her out of her shell too.

Since day one, the Rauchs have welcomed Puiggros as one of their own.

“It would always be like, ‘You’re a part of our family,’” Puiggros said. “After a game, we would go eat. It is the small things, like Valentine’s Day my freshman year, [Laura] came into the dorms and brought me a big basket.

“It was great. I love them. They are my family too.”

Though she went through an initial culture shock, Puiggros said the Rauch family was able to make her feel more accepted in a new country. Even after experiencing a difficult freshman year, Puiggros said their support and love made her want to stay a Cardinal.

“It was a no-brainer having her around for family stuff when she did not have another option,” Annie said. “My family loves her. My mom is not a hugger at all, and I’ve seen her hug Estel multiple times.”

Whether it be food, gifts or adopting Christmas traditions from Spain, the Rauch family always wanted to make sure Puiggros was included and taken care of.

“I hope she does not have to feel like she is a guest anymore. I hope she feels like she is part of the family,” Laura said.

Brought

together by basketball

Although their friendship runs deeper than basketball, the game is the funnel for their friendship.

“Basketball brought us together, and it’s amazing that I am from Spain and she is from here,” Puiggros said. “I have a sister across the world, and I know I can come back here and see her or she can come to Spain.

“It has developed to the point that no matter what, I know you’ll be there.”

The pair of friends were the only seniors in the 2023-24 season who had been Cardinals during their entire collegiate careers.

“I feel so lucky to be able to do that with her for so long,” Annie said. “She would be a great teammate on the sidelines and a great teammate on the court. It was awesome and something I am going to miss for sure.”

After a Mid-American Conference (MAC) tournament semifinal loss in 2024, Puiggros and Annie both wanted to cherish the last few possible games they had together in a Ball State uniform. Going into the final game, the two wanted to just have fun on the court.

Being around Annie also resulted in the Rauch family spending time with Puiggros.

“We were laughing on the court,” Puiggros said. “It was not the ending we wanted, but at the end of the day, we have each other. We started together and finished together. It was sad and emotional.”

Watching it all play out — as she had for years — was Laura in the stands.

“It was fun to watch them and get to travel and see them play as a parent,” Laura said. “You have to cheer for both of them because they are both your kids.

“They get mad at each other. They approach things differently, they think about things differently, and so, even if they are great compliments to each other, they still have those sister qualities.”

‘I can’t believe they are here.’

With Puiggros having been immersed in American culture for much of her collegiate career, Puiggros said Annie has always wanted to go to Spain. It did not happen freshman year, got put aside during COVID-19 and

culture and bond through that,” Annie said.

In her first time overseas, Annie said Spain was incredible — to see where Puiggros grew up, to spend more time with her parents and to be around her extended family.

“As soon as I left I wanted to start saving to go back,” Annie said.

There are stories of going to get breakfast at five in the morning after a night out with friends, days on the beach and cooking food together. Everything that happened in Spain is something Puiggros will never forget, she said.

“Every single second was like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe they are here,’” Puiggros said.

With the Rauch family taking care of Puiggros, Puiggros’ family was excited with open arms to welcome Annie to Spain.

“[My parents] said, ‘You took care of our daughter for four years, now it is time for us to take care of you,’” Puiggros said. “It was great that she got to see my culture. It was full circle.”

An uncertain future, not an uncertain friendship

“They will be there for each other no matter what,” Laura said. “To have each other as a constant is huge. They use each other as a sounding board when they need to vent or talk about what is going on.”

Through the years on the court, living with each other and many other shared experiences, Puiggros said Annie will always be a part of her life

Puiggros said the two might not talk every day, since they will be separated by an ocean, but no matter what, she knows Annie will be there when and if she needs her.

Annie plans to finish her master’s degrees in nutrition and dietetics and Puiggros plans to play professionally in Spain. Annie and Puiggros have no doubts about staying in touch.

“There won’t be anything that keeps them from being together and spending time together,” Laura said. “In 10 or 15 years, I think they will make it a point to be a part of their lives.”

‘Last piece of the puzzle’ ‘Last piece of the puzzle’

The senior class has helped lead Ball State softball to success on the field and in the locker room.

It’s not about stats.

It’s not strikeout rates or RBIs or stolen bases.

It’s not the “what” they see on a stat sheet but the “who” they see in the dugout. The relationships made both on and off the field are what mattered most for the 10 softball players who are reaching the end of their careers at Ball State.

“I’ll remember it forever,” graduate student infielder Samantha-Jo Mata said. “These are my best friends, and most of these people will be at my wedding.”

The graduating team members have played through a global pandemic, coaching transitions and the uptick in transfer portal applications. While some arrived in Muncie and never left, others have come along for the ride.

Despite different backstories and precollegiate careers, their time at Ball State has made them more than athletes.

“They’re the last piece of the puzzle,” redshirt sophomore utility player McKenna Mulholland said. “The culture they brought to this team over the last few years has created our team.”

‘Better than they found it’

Before current head coach Helen Peña took the reins, former head coach Lacy Schurr spent a great deal of time with the now-veteran group during her three seasons (2021-23) in Muncie.

While she recognized the gameplay skills of the group, the way they handled themselves off the field stood out even more.

“They took care of all of the younger [players] coming in and set a really, really good example,” Schurr said. “At their core, they are just really good human beings.”

Events at player’s houses, team dinners and just having fun at practice, Schurr — who is now associate head coach at the University of Pittsburgh — said the seniors accepted their roles on day one and never lost sight of that.

Despite challenges during their tenure, the graduating players kept their faith in the program.

“They’re built a little differently,” Schurr said. “They all came from very, very different backgrounds. I think the character of who they are just says a lot about them … Given the state of what nationally [happens], with a lot of people coming in and others going out, this group bought in and fought for each other.”

The two seniors who stood out the most to Schurr were graduate students Jazmyne Armendariz and Haley Wynn. Both were always there for their teammates and coaches no matter the situation.

“Somebody like [Armendariz] in the program who is really wise beyond her years,” Schurr said,” she just did such a good job of welcoming everybody in. And then Haley Wynn … to watch her grow and develop solidified this class.”

While Schurr is now coaching the Panthers, most of her memories from Muncie involve this group and what they did for her and the entire program.

“They’re just so caring and are leaving the program better than they found it,” she said. “That’s all you can ask for any class.”

‘Even when they’re gone’

Before Peña arrived to Ball State’s campus, she noticed the high number of seniors, which was unlike any team she had coached prior. With that in mind, she knew she was going to get a group of upperclassmen who saw themselves as more than just athletes.

“I feel like the previous coaches have done a good job just because our juniors and seniors are great athletes and great people,” Peña said. “I feel like the underclassmen have looked up to them, and they’ve done a good job leading them throughout the year.”

She arrived with some housekeeping items, but it did not take long for the 10 seniors to lend their hands to the process.

“They helped me not only get my message to the team — but also just when it comes to logistics and keeping me in the know — they helped me as a first-year head coach,” Peña said.

While she was pleased to see their stats and value on the field, Peña’s first preview of how the group worked was when Wynn hosted a “dip night” for the entire team and coaching staff.

“It’s a tradition here. We had it, and all 29 athletes and coaches were all sitting in her large living room,” Peña said. “We were doing a Jeopardy-style game and we were split into teams. It was just something that they organized.”

PUZZLE

Continued from Page 13

That night, the upperclassmen showed Peña and the new coaching staff they were serious and cared more about the other 16 Cardinals outside of the game of softball. From that point to now, their mentality has never changed.

That same mentality is the main point Peña wanted to bring to Ball State, with her slogan “culture of care.” Since its implementation, the upperclassmen have embraced it every moment of every day.

“They were not only sharing that, but they were walking the walk and leading by example,” Peña said. “I think for the future, [it will help] with the types of recruits that we’re trying to get in here. Not only elite athletes, but ones with character and elite integrity.

“They were the ones that kind of paved the way in a sense. They will be an amazing alumni group, and they’re still going to have an impact on the team, even when they’re gone.”

‘One Saturday or Sunday’

While the Cardinals still have at least five games remaining on their schedule, they know the end is near.

“We’re trying to think about it too much,” King said. “[We’re taking it] one game at a time to make the

FOLLOWING UNIQUE PATHS

The non-conventional paths some students take makes graduation an achievement like no other.

Before sunrise, while most of Ball State University’s campus remains still and quiet, a few early risers start their day to fulfill other commitments: a full-time job, missing a class to care for a sick kid or simply being in a completely new environment. There are many paths students take, and varying experiences bring diverse challenges.

Graduation is a time for celebration, especially for those who had adverse experiences or complicating factors throughout their educational journeys.

Members of Ball State’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program have obligations to their classes and school like other students, but there are additional responsibilities in addition to academics. Fourth-year computer information systems major Nick Combs is heading to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in October. He’s starting his four-year contract as an active-duty officer following graduation. He describes his added responsibilities as

“It’s never too late. You don’t always figure out what you want to do right out of high school. Sometimes it takes some life under your belt before you really know what you want to do.”

the equivalent of having a full-time job, but during his four years in ROTC, he has found ways to continue success in his classes and the training program.

“It’s mainly been: keep either the edge on my grades to make sure I’m working ahead, and staying ahead on them, or communicating with those in the program, such as our leadership,” Combs said.

Another fourth-year, Marshall Hargrave, is a computer information technology major and a third-year member of the training corps. After graduation this spring, he will be commissioned as an officer in the Indiana National Guard.

ROTC members like Combs and Hargrave haven’t had a lot of free time during their college years. Those in the program wake up around 5 a.m. for a workout “before campus is even up and running,” Combs said. They also have a field training exercise each semester, as well as other meetings and classes weekly.

“I feel like the work ethic you have to have in ROTC is much different than a normal college student because you have to wake up at 5 every day. It just teaches you discipline,” Hargrave said.

Comb’s advice for students considering ROTC is to go for it. Even if it’s only the first one or two years, it’s a learning experience.

“Dipping their toes in the water, it will end up being either a really good growing experience because we’ll get to find something and be able to try it and decide if you do or don’t like it,” Combs said. “It’s a really good way to build into a career.”

Those graduating from Ball State’s ROTC program aren’t the only Cardinals who’ve earned their degree through more unconventional circumstances.

Hairfield gave birth to her first child when she was 20 and continued growing her family from there. Today, her kids are 14, 12, 8 and nearly 2, so her hands are full balancing familial obligations and academics.

Despite her additional responsibilities, Hairfield has made the most of her time as an undergraduate at Ball State and made the balancing act work for her. She was recently accepted into the social work master’s program and plans to continue her education in fall 2025.

While Hairfield warned finding the balance between family and school isn’t always easy, she said the payoff is “definitely worth it” in the end.

“It’s never too late. You don’t always figure out what you want to do right out of high school. Sometimes it takes some life under your belt before you really know what you want to do,” Hairfield said. “If you really want to do it, you can do it.”

Meghan Holt is a fourth-year journalism major and writes “Word Vomit” for the Daily News. Their views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

When I was a kid, I went to FAME camp at Camp Potawatomi back when they still hosted it there.

FAME, which stands for Foundation for Art & Music in Education, taught me about all things art, and each year we put on a themed performance at the end of our week-long overnight stay for the parents who had poured their wallets into this education. During my fourth-grade year, our theme was about celebrating Indiana.

We had to learn Ballard McDonald and James Hanley’s song “Back Home Again in Indiana” for this performance. I still know all the words.

In high school, my marching band belted the same song as we advanced to the football field to put on our pre-game performance. I always tried to sing the loudest.

There was a real sense of pride I felt to sing about my state — to imagine the twinkling candle flames through those mythical sycamore trees and to look out across the countless fields around me and understand what McDonald and Hanley meant when they wrote about the smell of new-mown hay.

I still have a deep love for Indiana. It’s not quite where I was born (that honor goes to Aurora, Illinois), but it’s where I was raised. I’m a Hoosier at heart. At least I like to think I am.

But I’m not so sure anymore.

What I haven’t told you yet is that I’m a gay, transgender person. As I’ve become more comfortable in my own identity, I’ve become less comfortable in my home state.

So, I’m leaving.

Indiana lawmakers often express a desire to minimize the brain drain of newly graduated young people leaving the state. With about 5.1 percent of adults younger than 30 in the U.S. identifying as transgender or nonbinary, according to the Pew Research Center, and a whole slew of Indiana legislation and politicians targeting the queer community, my advice to those lawmakers is to reassess which policies need to be acted on to make young people stay.

As of writing, according to the Movement Advancement Project and the ACLU, Indiana bans “best practice medication and surgical care for transgender youth” through SB 480; requires teachers to out students and enforces a “don’t say gay” policy in schools via HB 1608; and censors books in schools by virtue of SB 12 (although it was signed into law after being amended to HB 1447) — a practice that “[has] historically been used to ban books related to LGBTQ+ topics.”

These are only a few examples of the bills that have been signed into law in Indiana one way or another. These bills directly affect my life. It’s strange to me to see bills like these be signed into law and the next day be asked by a policymaker what they could do to make me or my peers stay local.

Visual Editor, “Word Vomit” Meghan Holt

allowed to exist here or not — about whether I should be allowed to exist or not — made my already anxious mind spiral out of control.

According to the Trevor Project, “86 percent of transgender and nonbinary youth say recent debates about state laws restricting the rights of transgender people have negatively impacted their mental health. A majority of those trans youth (55 percent) said it impacted their mental health ‘very negatively.’”

This was my reality. About this time last year, I referred myself to a therapist for an anxiety spike that coincided with my realizing my trans identity.

I couldn’t go out on my own.

At the grocery store, I chose paths that put me in contact with as few people as possible, even if they were convoluted. I broke off a relationship of five years and refused to speak to my family about it for six months because it was so inextricably linked to my being transgender, and I didn’t know what their reaction would be.

I was nervous, unhappy, jumpy and assumed the worst of strangers who stared too long.

For these problems, my former (albeit well-meaning) therapist proposed I move to New York.

I laugh about it now — and my coworker got me a little New York City Lego set to commemorate the incident — but my therapist’s words held a pearl of truth.

As long as anti-LGBTQ+ laws are active, Indiana is not a state where I can comfortably be queer.

I don’t mean to discredit the amazing queer organizations that hold strong in Indiana. OUTReach, Spectrum, Indiana Youth Group and many more similar organizations do a great job making safe spaces for LGBTQ+ people — whether they are youth or adults.

transphobic Sword of Damocles hanging over my head. Gender-affirming healthcare for youth has already been banned in Indiana. Could gender-affirming healthcare for adults be next on the chopping block?

If lawmakers want young people to remain in Indiana, they need to support the LGBTQ+ community at an institutional level.

LGBTQ+ organizations cannot be the sole source of support for our community. If lawmakers want young people to remain in Indiana, they need to support the LGBTQ+ community at an institutional level.

Let’s start with transgender healthcare.

According to GLAAD, more than 30 major medical associations support gender-affirming medical care for transgender people and youth. Allowing transgender people access to this care is considered best practice.

Currently, Indiana outlaws best-practice medical care for transgender youth. Lifting this ban would not only allow young trans people access to life-saving care but would also grant

more decision-making autonomy to them, their

identities in school would be invaluable to reducing hate towards this marginalized group.

In my anecdotal experience, coming out to family and friends has often changed their attitudes about LGBTQ+ individuals in a positive way. While it certainly won’t be true of everyone, I think a reasonable person just needs an example of a trans person in their own life to challenge negative biases they might have absorbed through social media, television or the movies.

If schools are granted the ability to teach individuals about the LGBTQ+ community, I believe the negative stigmas surrounding our lives would change.

The National Library of Medicine agrees with that ideology. In a case study about the effects of anti-stigma education campaigns about mental illness in Europe, they found that two years after the campaign, the percentage of individuals who held negative stigmas surrounding mental health had dropped.

In short, education combats hate.

There will always be a piece of me that longs for my Indiana home. But I cannot live here as long as anti-LGBTQ+ legislation denies us the same rights as our cisgender, heterosexual peers; as long as Indiana seeks to censor our histories and identities from school shelves; as long as schools must out their LGBTQ+ students and put them at severe risk.

It is my hope that one day I’ll be able to comfortably return and see the moonlight gleaming on the Wabash River. Until then, I urge Indiana lawmakers to do better by and for their LGBTQ+ constituents.

no place like home

Through university, I realized I wanted to advance my career back in my hometown.

As I grew older, I strongly disliked being asked what I wanted to do when I graduated high school. Whether it was asked at a family gathering or by a teacher, my response was followed by a disoriented look on their face.

Many people in my small town of Demotte, Indiana, had no idea what a job in media looked like or if one was even possible. I was always faced with confusion and doubt, which, in turn, caused self-doubt and a dislike for the town in which I spent all my life.

My plan originally when coming to Ball State as a second-year transfer student was to get a job that kept me as far away from my hometown as possible. But, after three years at Ball State, I’m glad to be returning to my hometown to continue my career in media.

When it came time to start looking for internships and jobs before the fall semester, there was always an undeniable calling that was pulling me back to Northwest Indiana. It felt like I was being called back home, especially when I stumbled upon a local internship at Eleven Seventeen Media & Company.

The owner, and fellow Ball State Cardinal, Ryan Flannery, and Tony Pagorek, the

creative director at the time, were key mentors who helped me realize working in media is possible in the region. Through their knowledge and experiences as creatives who made their passion into a full-time career, I fully knew this was something I wanted to pursue back in my hometown.

I think the biggest fear many upcoming graduates have is returning home once they finish school, which may feel more so like failure than accomplishment. But for me, I would’ve felt a sense of failure if I wasn’t back home.

My final year at Ball State made me realize it was not about where you’re working but whether your job is fulfilling or not. I would much rather work in a quiet, small town enjoying my job than live in a city dreading the time between clocking in and out.

In between those three years, I also found that my career was needed more than ever back home, especially with businesses starting their own social media pages and websites. If I had the power to go back and tell my freshman self one thing, it would be to stop worrying, because you don’t have to search far and wide to find your place and achieve your goals.
