IMMERSIVE LEARNING IN THE COMMUNITY
RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER rmpodnar@bsu.edu
Ball State’s new direction as an “entrepreneurial university” could change traditional learning and reorganize immersive learning. President Paul W. Ferguson’s Centennial Commitment called for Ball State to adapt to entrepreneurial learning. Immersive Learning Director Jenn Blackmer is the first person to hold her position, which organizes immersive learning under central leadership. She and the Strategic Planning Leadership Team are trying to determine what entrepreneurial learning will look like at Ball State. Blackmer said by the end of this semester she wants to have more of a concrete idea to answer that question. She plans to have a communications plan, faculty development and a new funding structure for the Provost Immersive Learning
The Blaine & Southeast neighborhood was Ball State’s recent Immersive Learning Project. Students worked with the neighborhood association to create a plan for that part of town. The map below shows where the neighborhood is located. Jackson Street

Without the help of a Ball State immersive learning project, a local neighborhood would still be looking for direction, said the president of the Blaine Southeast neighborhood association. Clifford Clemons has been acting president of the neighborhood association since 2011, and was officially elected president about two months ago. “One day, we saw this fencedin area and wanted to know what was back there. We realized it had been an athletic field,” Clemons said. “We did some inquiring as far as who owned it and how could we get it, if possible.” After some digging, Clemons discovered that a former Blaine Southeast Neighborhood Association had owned it, but it dis-
banded around 2000. In order to get the property, Clemons had to reinstate the association and sign off as president. Clemons said right around the time the field was discovered, Muncie had instated its action plan, which called for creation or restoration of neighborhood associations. “We linked up with [the city] and they were the ones that helped us to start as far as reaching out to the community of the neighborhood to enlist other people to be a part of it,” Clemons said. The neighborhood was then ready to create an action plan, which is where Ball State came in. Lisa Dunaway, an architecture professor, led a class of urban planning students in an immersive learning class in Fall 2014.

Grant completed or in the works by the fall. Entrepreneurial Learning Blackmer said some departments, when they hear “entrepreneurial,” think Ball State is transitioning into a business school, but that is not the university’s intention. Mike Goldsby, director of the Entrepreneurship Center, said at its core, entrepreneurship is about bringing something new into the world—looking at problems, finding solutions and getting other people to believe in those solutions. He said entrepreneurs are always looking ahead to see what comes next. “The base of entrepreneurship is opportunity,” Goldsby said. “Entrepreneurship is, when an opportunity comes, [having] confidence in skill and the mindset to pursue that opportunity.”

Ball State loses early lead in game RILEY HOSPITAL at Kent State, drop 3-game series HONORS BALL STATE DANCE MARATHON Cardinals 2nd in West Division with 8-4 MAC record ERIC KUZNAR STAFF REPORTER | @EKuznar
The Ball State baseball team was unable to hold on to an early lead Sunday, losing 11-7 at Kent State for the second time in three days. “We had won 16 straight series,” Ball State head coach Rich Maloney said. “That was an incredible run. The law of averages just caught up with us.” After only needing two pitchers to get through Saturday’s 4-2 win, Maloney used five different pitchers Sunday, starting

Junior infielder Ryan Spaulding had the highest batting average for the Cardinals over the weekend series against Kent State. Despite the loss on Sunday, Spaulding started off the game with an RBI that resulted in a one-run lead in the first inning.
with freshman Brendan Burns. Burns allowed two runs on five hits in 1.2 innings, and was replaced by B.J. Butler who earned the loss, allowing three runs in
2.1 innings. As a team, the Golden Flashes outhit the Cardinals 15-7. Ball State jumped out to a one-run lead in the first on a
RBI single from second baseman Ryan Spaulding that scored center fielder Matt Eppers. The Cardinals added another run in the second, when shortstop Elbert Devarie scored on a groundout from left fielder Scott Tyler. Kent State tied the score in the second inning, but it wasn’t until the fourth — where Kent State scored three runs — that the Golden Flashes pulled ahead for good. Ball States’s pitching staff struggled, allowing 15 hits and eight walks, while earning five strikeouts. The Cardinals’ offense came to life in the ninth, scoring five runs, but it was too little too late.

Riley Hospital for Children has dedicated a room in the Stem Cell Unit to Ball State Dance Marathon in honor of the money they have raised for the hospital. After DM reached their goal of $500,000 this year, Ball State DM’s president Max Browning said the hospital wanted to find a way to honor them. “It really means a lot to us in the Dance Marathon move-

The hospital had already dedicated a room to Indiana University and Purdue University. The room is full of toys and games that children undergoing treatment are able to play with and enjoy.

Alive chapter falls short of goal Out of the Darkness Walk misses $5,000 fundraising target ROSE SKELLY CHIEF REPORTER | rmskelly@bsu.edu Though the Ball State Alive chapter fell short of the $5,000 fundraising goal it set for its annual Out of the Darkness Walk Sunday, it is still accepting donations until the end of June. The organization paired with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to put on the event for the fourth consecutive year. Ball State Alive-AFSP, which recently became recognized as an official AFSP chapter, aimed to raise $5,000 this year. They raised a little over $1,200, said Brandon Puszkiewicz, a junior social work major and chairman of the walk. Last year, the group exceeded the goal and raised $5,292. Puszkiewicz said the success of the walk wasn’t defined by how much money they raised, because any amount of money helps in the cause. “Any money we receive today is good. Even if we only receive $10, that’s $10 more that we’re using to provide education and support for families,” Puszkiewicz said. “[The walk] really does raise
awareness. This group is going to be walking on campus; people are going to turn their heads and wonder what’s happening, and that’s exactly what we want. They’ll see the banner, they’ll see AFSP and they’ll know that we’re walking for suicide prevention.” Andrea Hickle, a junior social work major and president of Alive-AFSP, said the event was important to her because she has struggled with mental illness and suicidal thoughts, and has friends who have struggled as well. About 80 people registered for this year’s event. The group tried to attract walkers through social media and student organization meetings, but Puszkiewicz said the other philanthropic events going on this weekend on campus made it difficult to attract people. Before the walk began, Hickle, Puszkiewicz and two AFSP members welcomed everyone and gave personal testimonies concerning suicide. The participants walked from the Atrium courtyard down McKinley Avenue to the Scramble Light and throughout the rest of campus for about an hour. Rosie Hickle, Andrea Hickle’s mother and one of the walkers, said she came to walk to support her daughter and others. “[Andrea] struggled with depression and suicide, and I did,

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE BRIEF As first lady to President Bill Clinton during the 1990s. She won a Senate seat representing New York in 2000 and ran for president in 2008. She was his secretary of state for four years. No woman has been a major party’s presidential nominee or been elected president. RESUME Lawyer, senator, diplomat. In Arkansas, she was a lawyer at a top firm while Bill Clinton was governor. She advised her husband after he won the White House in 1992. Her Senate vote for the 2002 Iraq invasion became a point of contention in the 2008 primary campaign. She helped set the foundation for nuclear talks with Iran as a member of Obama’s national security team. PERSONAL STORY The daughter of a small-business owner and homemaker, Clinton grew up in suburban Chicago At Yale Law School, she met Bill Clinton. The couple’s 35-year-old daughter, Chelsea Clinton, gave birth to her first child, Charlotte, in September. IMPORTANT MOMENTS A 1995 address in Beijing and her final campaign event in 2008 were signature moments for Clinton. As first lady, Clinton declared in a speech at a U.N. conference on women that “human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights.” The speech challenged human rights abuses of women and helped set the tone for Clinton’s work years later in the State Department.

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 A few weeks ago, some of the DM members went to Riley Hospital for Children for a room-naming ceremony. They were able to see a replica of the plaque on the door, and Browning, along with two others, were able to go up to the Stem Cell Unit to see the plaque. “It was awesome because
it’s so difficult to imagine that there’s a sign in the room in the hospital. Like, [it’s] cool,” Browning said. “But when you go to the stem cell unit, it’s an entirely different feel. ... [The] kids there, they’re the sickest of the sick. So being able to see just how much the sign truly means to the hospital and to the families … it meant a lot that we were able to have a room dedicated to us that is full of joy on such a sad unit.”
ALIVE WALK The walkers wore different colored bead necklaces based on their own experiences with suicide. WHITE: Loss of a sibling RED: Loss of a spouse or partner GOLD: Loss of a parent ORANGE: Loss of a sibling PURPLE: Loss of a relative or friend SILVER: Loss of a first responder or military personnel GREEN: A personal struggle or suicide attempt BLUE: General support of awareness TEAL: Friends and family members of someone who struggles or has attempted suicide too, when I was in college, and so I wanted to support this cause that I also relate with,” Rosie Hickle said. “The beads were helpful because without talking about it, you could still know people’s struggles.” One of the goals of the organization and the event is to get rid of the stigma attached to mental illness and suicide. “It’s important to start talking about it, start talking about mental illness, start talking about suicide and start talking DN PHOTOS BREANNA DAUGHERTY about what we can do to make Ball State Alive-AFSP held its fourth annual Out of the Darkness Walk on Sunday.

NETFLIX MAY MAKE IMMERSIVE: ‘FULLER HOUSE’ |
KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER knberg2@bsu.edu
After 20 years of no new episodes of ‘Full House’, TVLine, a TV-centered website, has announced Netflix might be making a 13-episode spin-off called ‘Fuller House.’ The show would focus on present-day Candace Cameron Bure as D.J. Tanner and Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler. John Stamos and Bob Saget are also expected to appear on some episodes. This show would follow in the footsteps of other shows produced for Netflix, like “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black.” While Netflix has yet to confirm that this is happening, some Ball State students are excited about the prospect of the return of the show.

plan] was based on things that we wanted to do, we didn’t have it organized,” Clemons said. “[They also] did a lot of the legwork that we did not necessarily have the manpower to do, especially when we first got started. They were the ones that went out and the surveys … and post notices of the dates of our meetings.” Abigail Overton, one of the students in the Blaine Southeast Neighborhood immersive project, had to step outside of the familiar campus scene when she did the project. “I’ve never been to that part of Muncie before, and one of the things we got to do—we didn’t just research [the neighborhood] … we walked basically the whole neighborhood and were able to pass out flyers and talk with people,” Overton said. “It was one of the first times that I had gone into a neighborhood that was different than what I was used to, and presenting information to them and listening to what they had to say where I didn’t have all the answers, … I had to really listen and take into consideration what they wanted.” Overton said many students aren’t aware of what’s going on in Muncie, and many don’t want to venture off-campus. “There are a lot of efforts in Muncie, if you look, that are bettering the city and helping out community members. Muncie is a tight-knit community. People want to know each other and work together towards a common goal,” Overton said. “I think that’s just a problem with Ball State students just not wanting to recognize that there’s work to be done in Muncie, and if we go look for it and we work together, there are definite improvements and definite lessons that college students are learning by working in a neighborhood.” Huth said the organization focuses on making immersive learning classes beneficial for both the community partners and the students. “The great thing about immersive learning is that there’s [an] impact both ways and that it really can be a win-win situation for community organizations and for students,” Huth said. “It takes a lot of time and energy to be a good community partner, too, so we’re always
thinking about those things with this program. We’ve got to make sure that it’s not going to be a drain on either side.” Aside from the technical skills students gain from immersive learning classes, Huth said they also gain a view of the world around them, especially the city they live in. Immersive learning classes encourage the symbiotic relationship between Ball State and Muncie. “A lot of students at Ball State have a negative perception of what Muncie is off campus because they don’t know a lot about what Muncie has to offer,” Huth said. “Putting them out in those organizations helps them to realize that, and to realize that community is built with all kinds of different people. I don’t think that Muncie could be what it is without Ball State, and I don’t think that Ball State could be what it is without Muncie.”
starting a life. Undergraduates spend four years here—we want them to leave with the tools to start their lives.” The Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers said with immersive learning, Ball State has been leading the way for different undergraduate experiences. “Most colleges and universities are trying to increase the value of a student’s college experience by making sure it aligns to their career aspirations as well,” she said. “Ball State has been at this for many
years—they have actually been a leader in this regard.” She sees the value of varied learning experiences as twofold—from an individual perspective as well as the state’s. “They are more prepared for the world of work when they get out,” she said. “[It’s] important to the state of Indiana, it’s a way to keep people [here]. If you had a quality internship or some type of experience while you are in college, there is a really good chance you will get a job and a really good chance you will stay in Indiana.”

CHASE AKINS STAFF REPORTER @akins27_akins
The Ball State soccer team faced off against the Haiti National team for the third straight season Sunday, playing to a 1-1 draw at the Briner Sports Complex. Junior forward Chelsy Swackhamer said the relationship between Ball State and Haiti is competitive, but the players enjoy competing against each other. “It’s a fierce friendly,” Swack-
hamer said. “There’s times we go in to tackle with them and we’ll get up high-fiving them. If you make a good play, they’ll tell you, or if they make a good play, we’ll tell them.” The teams remained scoreless through the first half. Haiti goalkeeper Ednie Limage and Ball State goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel both saved potential scores. Haiti came out firing in the second half with three shots on goal in the first nine minutes. With 21 minutes remaining, it appeared that Haiti had scored a goal, but it was called back after an offsides penalty. Swackhamer scored the first goal of the match in the 76th minute to give Ball State a 1-0
lead. Haiti answered 10 minutes later when Rilka Noel scored on a rebound to tie the match. After the draw, Ball State is now 2-0-1 against the Haiti National team over the past three seasons. Ball State head coach Craig Roberts is also the assistant coach of the Haiti National team. He said it’s good to see the two teams competing against one another. “We look forward to every game, but obviously I’ve got a partial interest with coaching with Haiti as well,” Roberts said. “But it’s just nice to see how both programs continue to progress and improve.” Ball State has two matches re-

maining in their spring schedule, taking on Olivet Nazarene in both on April 18 before an alumni match later in the day. Swackhamer has high expectations for the fall season as
the spring schedule comes to a close. “I think that we’ll definitely be competing for the [Mid-American Conference] championship,” Swackhamer said.

Despite the loss, Maloney was proud of the way his team competed. “These kids do not quit,” Maloney said. “That is all I have seen since I have been here, ... the chances we will have to play [Kent State] again in the [Mid-American Conference] tournament are high.” Ball State registered doubledigit hits for the first time in the three-game series with 10. Spaulding led the Cardinals’ offense, going three for five from the plate and adding two RBIs. Spaulding’s batting average was the highest of any Cardinal hitter over the three-game series with the Golden Flashes. With the loss, Ball State drops to 22-12 on the year and 8-4 in conference play.
