Ball State creates student-run interior design firm partnership.

Ball State University and Community Health Network are creating an accelerated, three-year bachelor's degree program to increase the number of registered nurses in Indiana.

Beginning this month, BSU students enrolled in Steve Radil’s immersive learning geography class, will work with neighborhood associations in seven neighborhoods — Anthony, West Briar, Industry, South Central, Forest Park, Old West End and Morningside — to assess their strengths and weaknesses, known as a "mental mapping."

In September, a dozen of Clark Muntean's students began mentoring Jan Long, president of Mr. Canary, a Carmel, Ind.-based maker of bird feeders that are sold at Kmart, Walmart and Kroger (with annual revenue of about $500,000). Long and her sister, Christina Mowery, started Mr. Canary in 1995. They were fearless, she says, mostly because they were naive. "This is what happens with entrepreneurial people," Long says. "You just hurl yourself off a cliff and then you start thinking, Oh, my God. I don't know how to fly."
