2023 Honors College Virginia Ball Creative Inquiry Fellows

Since its launch in 2000, Ball State's Virginia Ball Center for Creative Inquiry has served as a site for semester-long student-driven projects that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Fall 2023 marks the launch of a new partnership offering the hallmark VBC experiences to all undergraduates under the umbrella of Ball State's celebrated Honors College. We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for two inaugural Creative Inquiry Faculty Fellows, one in Fine Arts/Humanities/Design, and one in Natural/Social Sciences.
