As Ball State embarks on its second year of implementing an Inclusive Excellence plan, we're engaging in a series of four inclusive excellence discussions with alumni, faculty, staff, students, and members of the local community.
Everyone in our campus community is a partner in creating a more inclusive, respectful campus culture at our University and in our community. These discussions are the latest step we are taking to ensure that effort continues positive and consistent momentum.
