Immersive Learning Opportunities

Our faculty members love to work side by side with students. But it takes your motivation and initiative to participate in once-in-a-lifetime opportunities like these: Justin Gladis, a telecommunications graduate assistant, and Scott Swim and Laura Huffman, who graduated in 2006 from Ball State, worked with now retired instructor Jim Shasky to shoot and create the award-winning documentary Cell Block Scholars about prison college teaching; over summer 2007 students worked with Nancy Carlson to shoot a documentary about U.S. Highway 40 and the stories of the people who have lived and traveled along national road; and, students deliver the news in a state-of-the-art, professionally guided news operation News Link Indiana.
