Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry now accepting Fellowship applications

The Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry enables faculty and students to

• Explore the connections among the arts, humanities, sciences and technology 
• Create a product to illustrate their collaborative research and interdisciplinary study, and 
• Present their product to the community in a public forum. 

Each year, four Ball State University faculty members are selected (through an open competition) to teach an interdisciplinary seminar to fifteen students—similar to a capstone experience for majors or an honors colloquium.

All applications are due Friday, January 20, 2012 at the Virginia Ball Center (at Kitselman) by 4:00 p.m.
