-: You know, one of the things I really appreciate
about Ball State is the enthusiasm.
The students here are very enthusiastic
and seem very excited about their careers
and what they're doing now is going to affect their future.
And one of the things I really appreciate
is the growing interest of
the students in Muncie, as a whole.
And we've done a lot of work with students
through the community development office
or through the preservation commission,
and through some of the other organizations,
and I really appreciate how the students are willing
to jump in and learn things about the city
and really and truly become part of the community.
And for all of us who do stay, you know,
we're really proud of that connection.
And you know, I'm really excited to see it continue to grow.
