SmallerWith the creation of a group inside the popular social networking site, Facebook, the Alumni Association has created another avenue for alumni to learn about local events while providing an easy way for them to connect with one another through personal profiles and shared pictures. To join, current Facebook users can click on "Groups" and search for "Ball State Alumni Association." To create a Facebook account, go to www.facebook.com and click "Sign up." Update: We currently have a contest going on in Facebook for those that upload their best photos from Ball State. Contest ends March 26th!

Second Life
Ball State University has created a virtual campus in Second Life complete with Beneficence, Shafer Tower, Music Instruction Building and Bracken Library and we hold events and activities on the island. If you search "Ball State Alumni Association" in the groups dialogue box you can join the excitement and stay up-to-date on everything we are doing. Visit www.secondlife.com today to sign-up.
Second Life is an internet based virtual world created by its users. A downloadable client program called the Second Life Viewer enables its users, called "Residents", to interact with each other through motional avatars, providing an advanced level of a social network service.
Blog
The Ball State Alumni Association has jumped on the blogging band wagon. The word "blogging" is not some new profanity that I learned while attending Ball State but a word used to describe writing online. Like a diary, but online for every one to read while allowing others to leave comments and initiate a conversation.
This blog will be used to help you, as alumni and friends, to get a feel for what is happening on campus. The blog will be mostly written by St.A.R.T students. We expect these students to update this blog at least twice a week. Therefore, I suggest you book mark the page now!
