A few words about starting college from people who’ve been here

Letters to FRESHMEN

“To be a successful student, you must go to class and listen! If you can pay attention during class, you don’t have to study for hours or cram for tests. You’ll really do yourself a favor and make life a lot less stressful.”

Britany Dean, Indiana State 2013 alumnaBusiness Administration major

“Take advantage of every opportunity you are given; Indiana State is full of positive and inspiring faculty and staff who desire all students to succeed. Embrace all of the experiences offered to you, and you will grow in ways you never thought possible. Good luck! :)”

Kylee Thacker, Indiana State 2013 alumnaEnglish major

“The professors here really want to see you succeed. They are supportive in academics and curious about your life. They aren’t just looking to give a grade. They want to make sure you really understand the material.”

Shakir Bell, Indiana State SeniorCriminology majorIndiana State Football All-American Running Back

“Remember, it is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength to reach out and seek help! The key VIP people in your court are your RAs and APAs, assigned University College advisor, and the Associate Dean of Students and Campus Ombudsperson. All stand ready to help.”

Joshua PowersAssociate Vice President for Student Success

“I never thought I would be where I am today. I went from being a shy freshman to being a highly involved junior and the student body president. That’s one of the greatest things about Indiana State. All you have to do is simply take the first step to get involved and then you realize there’s no limit to what you can do.”

Andre Brousseau, Indiana State Senior2012-2013 SGA presidentMusic Business major

“Stay consistent! When you stick to a schedule for when you wake up, eat meals, do homework, and go to bed, you’ll feel more control.”

ACADEMICS Overview

We’re on the honor roll. The Princeton Review has named us one of the “Best in the Midwest” for the ninth straight year.

At the top in education. College of Education’s graduate program is in U.S. News & World Report’s “Top 100.”

Advanced in nursing. Indiana State’s graduate program in nursing is among the nation’s “Top 75,” says U.S. News & World Report.

We’re kind of a big deal. The current Carnegie classification for Indiana State University is Doctoral/Research University.

Indiana State is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

Advisors on call: meet our University College. Indiana State’s University College doesn’t teach classes. Instead, it’s a college of about a dozen expert advisors and staff. They exist for one reason: to help first-year students make a smooth transition to college life and stay on track for graduation.

Every freshman is assigned to a University College advisor for at least two semesters. Advisors reach out to students before classes start to help with registration, course planning, orientation, and move-in. Then throughout the year, advisors monitor their students’ progress and guide them through any rough spots.

With us, learning is personal.Here are some examples of what hands-on learning can mean for freshmen at Indiana State:

• Running a busy restaurant with your classmates

• Helping kids overcome learning disabilities

• Hammering out business solutions for Adidas Sport

• Counseling the elderly about their health care options

• Coaching a dance team at the Ryves Youth Center

Here, you don’t have to be a grad student to do research. You don’t even have to be a sophomore. We don’t like to keep the world waiting. So instead of reading what it’s like to be a nurse, teacher, or environmental scientist, you’ll be out there becoming one, as soon as your first semester.

Serve on Alternative Spring Break projects throughout the country.

Sure, community service looks good on a résumé. The way it feels is something else again. Volunteering strengthens neighborhoods and communities. It gives the giver a sense of fulfillment. The intangible benefits alone—pride, satisfaction, accomplishment—are worthwhile reasons to serve.

When we share our time and talents we solve problems, improve the environment, connect to others, and transform our own lives. Besides, if you’re a Sycamore, this is just what you do:

• Schedule three days of disaster relief and cleanup after tornadoes in Henryville, Indiana.

• Organize health fairs and recruit health care providers to offer health screenings, information, and free flu shots through the Minority Health Coalition.

• Singlehandedly launch an after-school violin program at Deming Elementary School in Terre Haute.

• Establish Indiana Global Business Advisors, or IGloBA, allowing students to work with organizations from around the world.

Do you live to learn? Do you love discussing literature, the arts, and the issues of the day, even when you’re not in class? You could be an ideal candidate for an honors degree.

UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

• Dynamic classrooms with like-minded peers

• Opportunity to live in the Honors Program residence hall

• Highly customized, advanced programs of study

• Special opportunities for research, internships, scholarly travel, and field learning

• Silk stole to wear with your cap and gown at commencement

Some students like to read a lot, and think a lot, and talk about how all that reading and thinking makes them want to read and think some more. They love history, art, language, poetry, philosophy, math, and science, especially when they are mixed up together.

For those students, Indiana State offers an excellent Honors Program.

Honors Program participants take a special Honors Core curriculum that supplants many of the University’s required foundational courses. This Honors Core consists of four classes that immerse students in the great works of human civilization. In intimate, discussion-oriented settings, honors students are challenged to think and write critically, and to analyze, integrate, and synthesize concepts across disciplines.

For their Honors senior seminar and thesis, students weave together the strands of expertise they’ve developed in their Honors core and major degree studies. It all culminates at commencement, where students who have completed all four years of the program receive special recognition.

To complete the University Honors Program, students must maintain a 3.25 cumulative grade point average, a 3.0 GPA in the Honors curriculum, and complete the Honors Core, thesis, and one of the three elective concentrations.

For more information visit indstate.edu/honors

Freshman applicants must have met at least one of the following criteria to be considered for admission to the University Honors Program:

• Cumulative high school GPA equal to or higher than 3.7 on a 4.0 scale

• SAT score (mathematics and verbal score) of 1100 or higher

• ACT composite score of 24 or higher

• Graduation within the top ten percent of their high school class

Choose your immersion level.Rooming arrangements vary. Depending on which program you choose, you could stay on campus at a foreign university or lodge with a local family. During a five-week summer trip to Dublin, students live with an Irish family and take courses from Irish faculty with other American students.

Good to go.Typically a 2.5 GPA is required to qualify for a Study Abroad trip, though some programs require a higher GPA. All students going abroad must also have insurance coverage.

The get-ready.All students who travel abroad must first attend a predeparture orientation session led by the Study Abroad department’s savvy travelers. We’ll teach you how to stay safe, comfortable, and healthy on your trip.

Meet your travel agents. Indiana State has an entire office dedicated to Study Abroad. Visit us any time, for travel advice like this:

Dont forget to Skype your family!

Three ways to see the world.• Attend classes overseas for

college credit. These fully vetted programs can last for a summer, a semester, or even a full academic year. Credits earned during summer and semester programs transfer to Indiana State.

• Gain international experience in your field. Study abroad can also include shorter trips, internships, field work, and many kinds of experiential learning.

• Tag along with an instructor. Many research and field experiences are faculty-led. These trips are for students who are enrolled in specific courses or lab programs.

How it works.

“My favorite class so far has been my Honors 201: Modern European Intellectual History with Dr. Ralph Leck. This class was extremely challenging, but it gave me a great new insight on concepts I never would have thought of without this class. Dr. Leck is a fabulous professor who engages his students and makes learning really interesting.”

—Alexia CurleySenior, Criminology and Psychology

Ralph LeckLecturer,History

“Dr. Rebecca Hinshaw was my advisor, and she helped me with a lot of decisions related to school, but also to life. She was very kind and helpful, she was always encouraging, and she was willing to listen to what I had to say and then give an honest opinion.”

—Christin KeirnElementary and Special Education major, 2011 alumna

Rebecca HinshawAssociate Professor,Education

“Keri Yousif teaches a class called “La Femme Fatale.” The title of the course is French for ‘fatal woman.’ In most of the literature, we focus on the character of the woman and how she is dangerous, seductive, and manipulative. Dr. Yousif does an exceptional job of having us look at literature in a new way.”

—Cecilia Van WijkJunior, Political Science

Keri YousifAssociate Professor,French

“I have to mention Dr. Christine Boone. It is her first year at Indiana State, but already she has made an impact in my education, so much so that I am now considering teaching in music theory and aural skills in the future. Her methods of teaching are extremely effective, and I am learning so much.”

The College of Arts and Sciences is the cornerstone of academia at Indiana State. Here, students explore What It Means To Be Human On Planet Earth. Now that’s a broad topic. And there are a few different ways to look at it. These various approaches are roughly divided into the Arts and the Sciences. From there, you can break it down even more, which gives you a choice of 34 majors and eight preprofessional programs, all within our College of Arts and Sciences.

BAYH COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

The sheer joy of teaching fills the corridors of University Hall.

Judging by the accolades our programs, professors, and graduates continue to accrue, you’d have to say that “educating the educator” is our specialty here at Indiana State.

Why become a teacher, counselor, school psychologist, principal, or superintendent? We can give you hundreds of reasons. Let’s start with these:

Teaching is learning. The more you teach, the more you satisfy your own curiosity about the world.

Every day is different. No monotony, no boredom, no cubicles.

Teachers are free to innovate. You’re allowed to create lesson plans and run your classroom as you see fit.

Teaching makes you a better parent. Your knowledge and skills can be a boon to your own kids’ education.

Teachers share the love. When you love to read or solve equations or make music, it shows. And when you teach it, your passion ignites a flame in someone else.

Teachers lead. And not just in schools. Many teachers become government leaders, or impact public policy, or travel overseas to share their organizational skills with groups who need them.

Teachers leave a legacy. As an educator, you’ll plant thousands of seeds in the minds of young students. Somewhere down the road, those seeds will take root. One by one, your students will do amazing things, and you will be remembered.

Our education majors get more time with kids, right from the start.Now thats an advantage that can land you a good job.

Indiana State sends education students into local classrooms, beginning their freshman year, to observe and assist real teachers in action. If you enroll in our Bayh College of Education, you won’t have to wonder if traditional teaching is right for you—you’ll find out fast.

You’ll spend more and more time in a school setting with each passing year. Once you’re a senior, you’re on track to spend not just a semester, but the entire year as a student teacher through a program called TOTAL. You’ll gain twice as much teaching experience as your peers in other education programs.

“You understand what happens in the teaching world,” he said. “It prepares you entirely for student teaching. Folks I’ve talked to said it flies by. They’re prepared for what to expect. You feel at ease because you’ve experienced it.”

Note: Students desiring to teach in a junior high, middle school or senior high school should select a teaching major listed in Majors and Concentrations on page 106.

Brandon Chambers, from Bloomington, Indiana, recently finished his TOTAL experience.

CoLLEGE oF NURSING, HEALtH, AND HUMAN SERVICES

Get ready to: • Gain real-world experience treating Sycamore athletes at our cutting-

edge rehab clinic• Conduct and publish research as an undergraduate • Train alongside student nurses, occupational therapists, social workers,

and speech pathologists in the RHIC Simulation Center (see page 59)• Participate in mock disaster drills with local fire and

police departments

Health care today is team based, multi-faceted, and interprofessional.

So is the college that teaches it here at Indiana State University. For you, that means semesters filled with rigorous study, followed by exciting, think-on-your-feet rehearsals at real clinics and hospitals.

You’ll work alongside a variety of medical specialists and have many opportunities to specialize yourself. In service to the health care teams of tomorrow, the college offers new concentrations in health administration, health psychology, environmental health, and public health nutrition, as

well as minors in massage therapy and dance, and a certificate in gerontology, to name a few.

Our graduates will enter a rapidly changing world where practitioners are evaluated based on patient satisfaction and outcomes. So whether you strive to become a nurse, dietician, athletic trainer, or social worker, we’ll strive to help you practice flawless teamwork delivered with great skill and genuine compassion.

The term “Athletic Training” can be misleading. Rather than train people as personal or fitness trainers do, certified athletic trainers provide medical services to all kinds of people, not just athletes and sports teams. These clinicians work in numerous settings to prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate injuries and medical conditions. And demand for ATs is growing. As the number of professional and student athletes as well as physically active adults increases, so does the need for qualified athletic trainers.

Highlights

Study AbroadNursing and social work students learn as much about themselves as they learn about their field of study when they spend spring break counseling children and providing medical assistance, like shots and IVs, to needy populations in foreign countries.

PharmacotherapeuticsDiscover the art and science behind pathology, pharmacology, and nursing care by administering medication and delving deeply into patient needs.

Occupational TherapyEveryone deserves a chance to live a meaningful life. In this class you’ll learn how to help individuals with disabilities develop the skills they need to achieve their dreams.

Family and Child WelfareImprove the quality of life for parents and children who face unique challenges in contemporary society.

Today’s automated production environments call for a new breed of engineering professional. Technicians and specialists must learn to communicate across disciplines, work in fast-moving teams, and solve problems on the spot—often in extreme circumstances. Indiana State’s experiential learning programs in technology and engineering technology produce graduates with real-life readiness to match the demands of their chosen field.

Twenty undergraduate programs and seven graduate programs keep the College of Technology buzzing with activity. Technology graduates become technical specialists, managers, supervisors, pilots, educators, trainers, designers, team leaders, buyers, technical sales reps, and more.

Welcome to our worldIt feels like a park–for big kids. You’ll stroll down tree-lined sidewalks, through well-kept gardens and courtyards on your way to class. Some buildings are rich in history; others are sleek and new. Thought-provoking pieces of

contemporary sculpture dot the campus; you’ll soon be saying, “Meet me by the trumpets.” Wherever you go, people smile and say hello. Here’s a quick tour.

John W. Moore Welcome Center

Probably the first place you’ll visit. The Welcome Center is the front door of the university. Inside is a big living room where you can sit down and get to know us. It’s where you start your guided campus tour, meet with admissions counselors, and get help with financial aid, scholarships, housing, dining arrangements, and orientation.

Dede Plaza

Just outside the Student Union, Dede (pronounced Dee-Dee) Plaza is the crossroads of campus life. Students study and picnic on the terraced steps. Graduating seniors are expected to run through the fountain after they finish their last final. You’ll head to Dede Plaza often for club gatherings, dances, and theater events.

Our campus is easy-going, diverse, and supremely livable.

YOUR OWN CASE OF THE ROOMMATE JITTERS.

For many freshmen, the scariest assignment comes before classes start. It’s the dreaded roommate assignment.

Seems like everyone has heard a few horror stories about roommates. And just like the stories you tell around a campfire, most are urban myths. The truth about roommate match-ups is that 98 percent of the time everyone winds up satisfied. You and your roommate may not become besties, but you’ll figure out how to get along, even appreciate each other. It’s what college is all about.

So when those jitters hit, ask a friend or relative about their experiences with college roommates. We bet you’ll come away relieved. Or go here for some friendly advice:

The Dining Service program consists of two units of payment, Campus Credits and Commons Cash. Credits are used for all-you-care-to-eat meals in residence hall dining rooms. Flex Meal Plans include Commons Cash to be used at Quick Service restaurants in the Commons and Coffee Shops around campus. These two work together to provide one of the most flexible meal plans ever conceived for a university campus.

Campus Credits

Campus Credits and Commons Cash will be loaded onto your student ID, which acts as a debit card. When used in the Sycamore and Lincoln Quad residence hall dining rooms, campus credits give you a whole lot of meal for your money. Breakfast is six credits, lunch is eight, and dinner costs you 11 credits. A checker swipes your ID as you enter the dining hall; after that, you can have all you care to eat.

Credits can also be used on a limited basis for fast food at Lincoln Quad on the Run, and on weekends at Einstein’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Mein Bowl, and Subconnection.

The 411 on Food ServiceWhat is Commons Cash?

Some people just need Einstein’s Bagels or a few scoops of Eddy’s ice cream to get them through their French homework. Commons Cash lets you buy food at any venue on campus, including the residence dining halls, the Commons, and the various cafes throughout campus. Commons Cash (also called points) has a dollar-for-dollar value. Be aware: it spends quicker.

What do I do if I get low on credits? It’s easy to add credits to your account. Just stop by Dining Services in the Residential Life Office and add credits to your card. A credit is $0.20 for residents and $0.35 for commuters.

Building the health care teams of tomorrow.The RHIC Simulation Centerat Union Hospital

59

Page 74: Undergraduate Viewbook 2015

The Center employs several incredibly lifelike training mannequins – some very smart dummies, if you will. The mannequins heave and groan, voice complaints, endure trauma, grow pale, gain and lose blood pressure -- playing out scenes that have been programmed onto simulation computers.

Not today. High tech, virtual reality teaching methods, called

simulated learning, are the new paradigm in clinical training. Simulated learning laboratories are cropping up at top medical schools across the country. The best of these “sim labs” are full-scale replicas of real hospital units, outfitted with high-fidelity patient mannequins and computer simulators that are remarkably true-to-life.

Just such a facility occupies 8,000 square feet in a former intensive care unit at Terre Haute’s Union Hospital. The Rural Health Innovation Collaborative (RHIC) Simulation Center brings current and future doctors, nurses, and technicians toe-to-toe in mock hospital units, where together they deal with complex patient narratives unfolding in real time.

This state-of-the-art learning facility, just minutes from Indiana State’s main campus, is the product of a mutually beneficial collaboration. Four organizations—Indiana State University, Ivy Tech Community College-Wabash Valley, Indiana University School of Medicine, and Union Hospital—

Advancing health care where it’s needed most.

The complexity of modern health care calls for a new breed of health care professional. Nurses, doctors, technicians, and specialists must learn to communicate across disciplines, work in fast-moving teams, and solve problems on the spot—often in extreme circumstances. Interprofessional education is vital for any healthcare worker today, and especially needed in underserved rural areas.

Thanks to the RHIC Simulation Center, Indiana State students conduct an unprecedented number of rehearsals for real life. Here, a full array of health care professions can gather for practice scenarios. Cross-disciplinary teams—including Union Hospital’s experienced doctors and nurses—treat make-believe patients with very real complications. Students immerse themselves in computer-simulated surgery and react to complicated emergency room dramas. As the minutes tick by, Indiana’s future doctors, nurses, and med techs confront life-or-death situations scripted by simulation experts.

They graduate with real-life readiness to match the demands of their important work.

For generations, future doctors and nurses were taught clinical skills the same way their predecessors had learned:

See one, do one, teach one.

have partnered to share capital and operational costs.

What one entity would not have been able to attempt, four have developed into an interprofessional education facility that rivals anything in the Midwest.

Page 75: Undergraduate Viewbook 2015

The Anatomage Table is a 3D virtual cadaver and anatomy table. There are presently only 10 being used in the United States and the RHIC Simulation Center is the only facility in Indiana to have one.

Richer learning experiences for Indiana State students.

According to Jack Jaeger, BSN, CCRN, and Director of the RHIC Simulation Center at Union Hospital, it’s the authenticity of these learning experiences that makes them so effective. The Simulation Center is an amazing feat of mimicry outfitted with systems, furniture, even bed linens and paperwork to match those in a fully functioning hospital. Equipment is stored and moved around just as in most inpatient care units. Even the thermostat is set to match a true hospital environment.

During full-day clinical training, students arrive in scrubs, lab coats, and badges at what looks like a typical multi-bed unit. They enter a hospital room where a male or female

“patient” talks to them. The patient can bleed and cry and perspire. She has family members at her bedside (played by human actors) who ask the kinds of questions families ask. The mannequins can mimic almost any medical condition.

We asked Jaeger how students react to such immersive experiences.

“When learners are in the room,” he said, “they suspend disbelief and behave like they are in an actual situation. Many students talk about their heart rates going up, feeling lumps in their throats, or experiencing the rush of adrenaline that occurs when they face an emergency situation for the first time. Obviously, the great thing is that it is a safe environment, both for the student and for the patient. They are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them.”

Better health care for Indiana.

Students come to the RHIC with a good intellectual grasp of the mechanics that produce the diabetic’s plunging blood sugar, the heart patient’s sudden arrest, or the eccentricities of a new surgical tool. Yet when everything begins happening at once, with colleagues all around and monitors sounding the alarm, their senses are assaulted with new information.

The Spirit of Service: Indiana State and theRURAL HEALTH INNOVATION COLLABORATIVE.

Through the RHIC, Indiana State’s mission is to deliver highly skilled medical teams, working in unison to deliver superior patient care throughout rural Indiana. The effort is already making an impact in the Wabash Valley.

One example is the Sim Center’s upcoming Neonatal Outreach Program. Many rural hospitals do not have the means to train healthcare providers for emergency birth situations. After assessing needs throughout the nine-county area, the Simulation Center, in conjunction with Union Hospital, has developed an ongoing simulation-based neonatal training program for medical professionals in critical-access hospitals and clinics, and for emergency responders throughout the area. The training objective is to improve patient outcomes and save the lives of babies.

Launched in 2008, The Rural Health Innovation Collaborative is a collaborative of 10 education, health care, government, and community partners working to improve health care delivery in rural settings across Indiana. Educating healthcare providers, via the RHIC Simulation Center, is a huge part of that effort. The collaborative is also busy revitalizing a Terre Haute neighborhood that lies between the Indiana State campus and Union Hospital.

The new algorithm for learning is

“SEE ONE, SIMULATE ONE, SIMULATE ANOTHER ONE, SIMULATE ONE MORE, DO ONE, SIMULATE AGAIN, and then TEACH ONE.” — Director Jaeger

THE SIMULATION “The situation is that of a post-surgery patient who is experiencing a tremendous amount of pain and is crying for relief. Under this very stressful situation, the nursing student is required to assess the patient and then pursue a course of action to relieve the pain. They call the doctor (played on the phone by one of the Simulation Center staff) and the doctor, in a rush, orders a dose of Morphine for the patient, giving a dosage order that is a very large amount.

“The appropriate response for the student is to either know that the dosage is too high, or to look it up in a reference manual, question the physician as to the amount, and ask for a smaller dose. Because these students are very new, they typically will not question the order, and instead will give the dose. Next the Sim Center staff causes the patient simulator to go into respiratory distress. In debriefing, the student learns that the medication dosage they were responsible for giving has caused this event.”

As training goes deeper, new skills emerge.

The day-long dramas have a profound impact on learners. Students learn to perform under pressure and new modes of thinking take root. Appropriate responses become second nature, as memories and behaviors imprint on the minds of future clinicians.

“We have had countless examples of nurses coming back to the Simulation Center well after they have finished school and telling us that they double- and triple-check medications for errors now, simply because they remember their simulation experience,” says Jaeger.

“And that is the point. Preventable medical errors plague our nation. Simulation is one of the most promising methods for decreasing these issues. There are countless examples of simulation helping medical practice right here in the Wabash Valley.”

The Simulation Center staff have all worked in various areas of acute medical care.The Director is a former Critical Care Clinical Educator with years of patient care and bedside experience. The staff fixate on every little detail, from cardiac monitors to IV’s, from real medical charts to live phone conversations with physicians on the other end, in an effort to produce extremely realistic experiences for students.

Page 77: Undergraduate Viewbook 2015

The result: A new class of caregivers.

The Simulation Center at Union Hospital is taking virtual-reality learning to an unprecedented level and producing more effective clinicians in all walks of medical life, right here at Indiana State University.

Inside this hyper-realistic yet risk-free environment, hundreds of students each year learn to deal with team dynamics, emerging technology, and sudden crises before they are thrust into clinicals or residency. Statistics show that most Indiana State premed and nursing students remain in Indiana throughout their careers. Thus the benefits of this enhanced training will be felt for generations.

With the RHIC Simulation Center at Union Hospital, State has found a better way to prepare for healthcare’s high-tech future. You’re more than welcome to join us on this inspiring journey.

“When real life situations happen, if you don’t get trained, you get so caught up in the emotion and all of the excitement going on that you can get lost, or not do anything, which is even worse,” said Krista Irwin of Greencastle, a physician assistant student at Indiana State. “If we practice, then we know what to expect and it brings it to real life.”

Page 80: Undergraduate Viewbook 2015

“When students come out to sea and experience the ship and all the things that go into conducting research at sea, it’s really satisfying to see them with a smile on their faces,” says Professor Rathburn.

“They’re actually holding onto the taglines, they’re smelling the ocean, they’re feeling the metal of the sampling devices, they’re seeing the samples as they come up.”

No matter what major you choose, you’ll do some exciting work—in the classroom, in the field, even around the

globe—while enrolled at Indiana State University. Our culture truly revolves around hands-on, experiential learning.

Just one example is the oceanography program, led by Anthony E. Rathburn, professor of geology in Indiana State’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Rathburn, an internationally respected scientist, has made it possible for many of his seemingly landlocked students to go on life-changing research expeditions around the world. Hardworking students can be invited on research cruises as early as their freshman year.

In the following interview, Professor Rathburn talks about how his students start right away with real world experiences in some very unexpected places.

Marine science? Really? In Indiana?

The deep sea is the Earth’s largest habitat, and it is largely unexplored. Think about it: Salt water covers about 70 percent of the planet and affects everything from climate to economics. So it’s typical for all major universities to have at least one marine scientist. We have two at Indiana State.

Not everyone realizes that there’s a strong job market for well-trained Earth and Environmental scientists. The field of marine science is rich with opportunity.

How do students in Terre Haute get oceanography experience?

They go on ocean research expeditions with me. They don’t have to be graduate students or even marine science majors. Students working in my lab typically take part in at least one research cruise, and some have taken part in several.

What are some of the responsibilities and learning outcomes on these adventures?

During an expedition, we’re at sea anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Students help deploy and recover gear, collect and preserve samples, and log the research data. They work, eat, and train alongside well-known research scientists. I expect students to learn about the local culture of the places where we dock. They later present their research in classrooms and to local schools and organizations.

Creating memories, all over the map.

Rathburn and his students will never forget:

• Eating ants (on purpose) and zip-lining through the rainforest on a break from our cruise preparations in Costa Rica

• Seeing Freshman Darin Lange’s face light up as the Captain gave him the honor of setting off a flare on the 4th of July on a ship in the Antarctic

• Wheeling scrap iron to the ship in an old wheelbarrow we found so we could use it as retrievable weights for our seafloor experiments off Oregon

• Hearing Brian Wrightsman excitedly describe his seafloor experiences after emerging from the manned submersible, Alvin.

Do you have a special story you could share from one of these trips?

There are so many wonderful memories of the camaraderie at sea, working long hours, and experiencing the excitement of discovery.

During my first trip with Indiana State students, I remember flying to remote Alaska, taking a small plane out over the Aleutian Islands. As we approached the very small landing strip, we flew through fog in the narrow gap between two mountains. It was surreal, and spectacularly scenic. It reminded me of the movie “Jurassic Park.”

This flight was the first for at least one student, and one of the very few flights any of them had ever taken. I couldn’t help thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but might be what students would expect on all their future flights!

On the initial research trip to Venice, Italy, undergraduate Jared Kluesner and I were the only Indiana State researchers. Luckily, Jared had worked in construction with his father, because we didn’t have some of the gear we needed for the next day. The Italians had left their tool shop open, so Jared and I worked into the night to create our own gear from scraps.

Where in the world is Professor Rathburn?These are just a few of the amazing places Rathburn’s research has taken him —and his students:

Antarctica via Chile—examined seafloor seasonality.

Australia—Sampled the Eastern Australian margin seafloor from Tasmania to Brisbane.

Costa Rica—Sampled places where methane seeps out of seafloor sediments using manned submersible Alvin, which was used in the initial discovery of the Titanic. Students traveled 1,000 meters to the seafloor in a three-person sub to direct the sampling of sediments, rocks, and creatures.

Southern California—Collected seafloor sediments and the creatures that live in them.

Unimak Island, Alaska—Used remotely operated vehicle Jason, also from the Titanic mission, to investigate geology and ecology of area that had reportedly been the cause of a tsunami.

Venice, Italy—Worked on pollution research in the Venice Lagoon.

How do undergraduate students help with your research?

Undergraduates in my lab conduct research with results that are publishable in a scientific journal. They have their own space, their own microscope, and their own project. They work closely with graduate students and are treated as research colleagues, with me as their mentor and supervisor.

I take students on my research trips whenever possible. Participation is reserved for students in my lab. Ship space is limited, so it is not yet possible to include all students taking my courses on trips at sea. We take field trips in my courses, and for some, students visit sites in Indiana where we collect marine fossils—much of Indiana was submerged under a shallow tropical sea in the Paleozoic.

What kind of students will be successful in your classes?

They attend class, take copious notes, and study for exams. In the lab, they work hard, follow instructions, and dedicate time to their project. Even students who do not continue in marine sciences have research and field experiences that give them the confidence, the résumé, and the background to succeed in graduate school and their professions.

Mitchel LathropTheater Design and Technology, ’10

Mitchel Lathrop’s theater professors showed him where the future of stage tech was going: it was wrapping itself snugly around his two primary interests: IT, and stage production. Motion graphics and large format video projections had already become his specialties when, at an industry conference on an Indiana State University-sponsored trip, he met

Disney managers who needed someone just like him. From there his career took off. Mitch graduated, flew to Los Angeles to work for Disney, and has been busy ever since. Now a contractor for Disney Creative Entertainment, he freelances for Warner Brothers and FX, and consults on video projection projects for Pixel Density Design.

Brian WrightBusiness Administration, ’02

Brian Wright came to Indiana State to study music, but left with a degree in business administration. Now, his love of finance never gets in the way of his passion for music, and vice versa. By

day, he helps clients focus on controlling the money they can and planning for the expenses they can’t. On weekends you’ll often find him wearing out guitar strings on local stages.

Noma GurichPolitical Science, ’75

Back in the 70s, Noma Gurich was one of the only women in her Indiana State political science classes. But that’s okay; it prepared her to work harder in law school and as a trial attorney. Gurich

would never have dreamed that her days at Indiana State would lead her to a life upholding justice as an Oklahoma Supreme Court judge.

Doug HuntsingerPolitical Science, ’04

Doug Huntsinger went from being a shy, unsure freshman to a confident member of the Indiana State University student government. In his senior year a political volunteer opportunity changed his life. Now, he stands out as

an innovative thinker and driving force behind policies that make the Hoosier state a better place to live. He served as a policy director in Governor Daniels’s office and now helps set policy at the Indiana State Fair.

Kelli WhitakerElementary Education, ’10

As a future teacher, Kelli Whitaker spent more time in the local schools than in Indiana State classrooms—and that’s exactly what she wanted. Her hands-on experiences have helped her

win accolades and find her life’s work, teaching kindergarten at Brandywine Elementary in Greenfield, Indiana, the very same school she attended as a child.

THINGS YOUR BOSS WON’T TELL YOU

Brian Wright ’02I found my passion–it’s giving people peace of mind

about their finances. Before, I was the student who got As and Bs, sat in the middle of the classroom, and didn’t raise his hand much. I played in a cover band on weekends. My freshman self would probably say I have now turned into my dad, but I would punch my freshman self and tell him that it’s AWESOME and he’ll love it.

Mitch Lathrop ’10 By being willing to slog around in the fountains

at Disney and re-wire the lighting! You’re not going to start out with a shiny desk and everything you’ve ever dreamed of. But people will be watching when you’re asked to do the job nobody wants to do. They’ll see how you behave and react. And they’ll reward you.

Mitch Lathrop ’10Never spend time on things that you aren’t passionate

about. Yes, we all have to do our taxes and pay our bills. But take time to enjoy the scenery and work on things that make you happy. Keeping a balanced life is key to being successful and happy.

Noma Gurich ’75By making friends of my enemies. I found that

the way to fight back was to never fight. I always tried to approach even the toughest opponent with kindness and generosity and with a professional attitude.

Mitch Lathrop ’10There’s nothing worse than not knowing what you want

to do. Take the time to search inside yourself. Have a serious conversation with yourself about what is going to make you happy after college. (Hint: It’s not partying.)

Doug Huntsinger ’04First, go to class. What you learn as a student lays

the foundation for a career. Second, volunteer. Had it not been for my volunteering I would have never had the opportunity to take a full time job. Finally, there is no substitute for hard work.

Noma Gurich ’75Sometimes you want to give up—many tears and restless

nights are all part of the process.

Kelli Whitaker ’10A big challenge is time! There is never enough time

in the day to teach everything I want to teach. I have just learned to prioritize the needs of my class by using data and purposeful planning.

Brian Wright ’02I originally went to Indiana State to study music business.

I am a musician and studying music is what everyone expected me to do. After all, didn’t we all major in what people told us we are good at in high school—NOT what we will enjoy?

Once I got to ISU, I figured out that a business degree made more sense for me, so I changed majors. The best part was I was able to be involved in all the music classes, choirs, and events in the School of Music that I wanted to, all while being a business student.

Kelli Whitaker ’10Through Dr. Whitaker (no relation) I learned so

many strategies to help young readers. That is where my passion for teaching reading began.

Mitch Lathrop ’10 Be careful not to overcommit yourself,

because if you do, the quality of all your work becomes diluted. Be realistic about what you can complete in a certain time frame.

Brian Wright ’02The reality is, in many industries, your first job is

almost ALWAYS a sales job. For recent graduates who find themselves working in a “less than ideal” first job like I did, I will say this. Focus on small victories. Every day you’ll learn either how to do something well, or how to do something horribly. You can learn a lot of BOTH by watching co-workers.

Brian Wright ’02I know, and sing, every word of the fight song every time

I hear it played, even if it’s on TV in my living room or a sports bar. We beat IU twice while I was there! And to this day, I can’t eat Burger King because of how much of it I consumed at the Commons.

Mitch Lathrop ’10 Indiana State is a good pick because you’re not

just treated like a number. There is a network of people and connections in the professional world. Your professors are very interested in your life and that bond continues when you’re out of school.

Mitch Lathrop ’10 I make sure that I take time to teach skills and create

opportunities for people who want to be in my field. Jessie Jefferson (Graphic Design ’13) has been able to come out here and join our company. We are working pro bono to help a local dance school stage Pinocchio.

Mitch Lathrop ’10 Just remembering your manners is a huge thing.

People at work take notice just because I say please and thank you, and show respect.

host of Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick, Indiana’s most watched local business television program. Always the diligent reporter, he informs us that:

“More than two-thirds of Indiana State University graduates stay here in Indiana where they teach the next generation, comfort the sick, calculate insurance risks, supervise construction projects and so much more,” and,

“Every day, in my professional role, I have a chance to interact with other Indiana State graduates or current students who are significantly improving their communities. From those who are starting new businesses, working in the ever-expanding field of health care, or tackling some of our state’s big challenges. The graduates of State form the bedrock of the tiniest hamlet to the largest city.”

Your freshman year

College Talk, Explained

Let’s start with the important things first—your degree.That’s the whole reason you’re here, right? A degree is your ticket to the next big thing—your future. A degree means you’ve completed 120 credit hours at an accredited institution of higher learning, like Indiana State. That comes out to a total of roughly 40 classes, give or take one-hour labs and internships. What does that mean, exactly? It means after graduation, you’re an expert.

Degrees are conferred (that’s university speak for awarded) from one of several colleges at Indiana State. Wait, wait, wait—isn’t Indiana State a college? Technically, Indiana State is a university, a place that houses many different kinds of colleges. For example, if you want to major in accounting, you’ll find yourself spending about half of those 120 hours in the Scott College of Business. You major in a program, like music or creative writing or chemistry, which is housed in the halls of the College of Arts and Sciences, one of the colleges that makes up Indiana State University.

Now you might be wondering, what is a major? And, more importantly, how do I find one? A major is your field of study, but it’s also much more than that. It’s your passion, your drive, your calling. It’s that one thing you can imagine yourself doing for the rest of your life. Can’t imagine that just yet? Don’t worry; you have plenty of time to explore and discover who you are and what you want to be.

About those core classes.You’ve heard of them; you had them in high school. They’re called the core curriculum, core requirements, or simply, the Core. At Indiana State, we call them Foundational Studies.

They’re the classes you have to take and pass, or test out of. And they’re required for some very good reasons.

At Indiana State University, we’re truly committed to honing your intellectual abilities.

Foundational Studies is the cornerstone of this goal. Taken together, these courses are a rigorous fitness program for your brain, meant to transform you into an effective communicator, critical thinker, and an informed decision maker. Your Foundational Studies also exposes you to multiple “ways of knowing.” By learning how to look at situations through different lenses—scientific, social, historical, literary, and artistic—you come away with a much deeper understanding of the human experience.

Foundational Studies courses are to be taken throughout your four years of college. Some are required during a certain timeframe or prior to certain courses. Specific information is available online or from your academic advisor.

How green is Indiana State? Look for the ones who are cutting new trails.So many fascinating individuals emerge in this environment. Maybe it’s because at Indiana State, there really are no limits on what you can make of yourself. We offer rich, varied resources from day one. Your imagination and effort take over from there. The result? Students, teachers, and alums who defy classification.

Ron Taylor ’10, now a graduate in geology, traveled the globe while still an undergrad, collecting samples from sunny Costa Rica and the icy waters of Antarctica on National Science Foundation-funded expeditions. He even got to present his findings from these newly discovered underwater worlds

to members of Congress in Washington, D.C. “As an undergrad, I conducted graduate level research. That is one of the advantages of being at Indiana State."

Since Christin Keirn ’11 and her students created the Kindness Campaign, there have been more smiles at La Porte High School every day. Targeting teachers, students and staff with random acts of kindness, they bought donuts for the custodians, cookies for the lunch workers, and goodie bags for the secretaries. They

also have taped notes to teachers' doors and put balloons inside their mailboxes. The best part? Their enthusiasm is spreading.

For Shannon Rosser, an anthropology major, getting her hands dirty was always one of the best parts of her major. Another amazing part? Getting to spend an entire summer interning at the Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. “I screamed when I found out I was going. Working at the

Smithsonian has been a dream since I was a kid. Or I wanted to be Indiana Jones.”

Look for Geoff Exoo, professor of mathematics and computer science, walking around Root Hall or lecturing in one of the high-tech SMART classrooms on campus. If digits are your thing, you could even work with him on research with Cage Problems or Ramsey Numbers. Either way, you’ll work a lot, but you’ll learn even more. His students tell us, “When it comes to Unix and C he is pretty much a master,” and “His class is hard but you will learn more in there than you ever imagined.”

The trike race is born.They didn’t know exactly how they would do it, but somehow Michael Simmons, Debbie Hulman Bareford and Tom Bareford knew that if they could just get college students to race each other on tricycles, this would be a Homecoming that went down in history.

Guess what? They were right.

“We were trying to figure out what we could do for Homecoming that would be new and different,” said Debbie Bareford, co-founder of one of STATE’s most cherished traditions – the annual Homecoming Tricycle Derby.

In 1963 a light switched on in Michael’s head. He wanted to find a way to keep the students on campus, build camaraderie, and, most importantly, have an unforgettable time during Homecoming. On a zero-dollar budget and with Debbie and Tom at his side, the three founders gathered a hodgepodge of child-sized tricycles, hay bales, markers and signs. Even Michael’s serious case of pneumonia couldn’t stop them. The race was on.

“We thought there might be a few hundred people show up,” Tom said. “The media estimated there were 2,000-3,000 people. They were on rooftops and hanging out windows. Deep stacks of people behind the track. We were totally amazed.”

Now, 50 years later, more than 20 teams race around the aptly named Michael Simmons Student Activity Center, though the scene is slightly different. The tricycles are bigger, the gears are faster and the track is longer. Students practice night and day, all vying to be the fastest, to earn the prestigious title of “Hot Wheels.”

“This is the part of your education that’s not in the book,” Simmons said. “How to get along with people you might not like, how to get along with people who have varying skills of athletic capability, and how to have some fun.”

The fun hasn’t stopped for 50 years. And that’s not just any fun; that’s STATE fun.

Evolution of a crazy idea

Sharon Johnson, a senior anthropology major, worked on a dig for the City of Terre Haute, uncovering a mystery from the 1800s. Unearthing about 12 unmarked graves at a buried, forgotten homestead, Johnson helped not only put the pieces of their graves together, but also the stories of their lives. “My ultimate goal is to be able to do the same thing, but overseas helping locate and recover soldier’s bodies. I thought this would be really good practice.”

Shakir Bell, a junior studying criminology, has more awards than his residence hall room can hold. As the running back for State football, Bell’s teamwork both on the field and in the classroom has really paid off. His name is on the tips of NFL tongues and one we won’t soon forget. If you go to a football game be sure to

say hello to Shakir’s biggest supporters—his mother and grandmother. “They will be the two maniacs screaming my name, ringing bells, and wearing my jersey.”

Todd Whitaker, professor of educational leadership, is one of those professors who does it all, yet still manages to make time to meet students for coffee. He travels around the world speaking to hundreds of thousands educators every year. His book, What Great Teachers Do Differently, is one of the best-selling education books

of all time, selling more than 500,000 copies in the United States alone. "The best thing about being a teacher is that it matters. The hardest thing about being a teacher is that it matters every day."

Kylee Thacker ’13, found that she thrived after moving into a residence hall to live with a complete stranger—twice. Bouncing from the classroom to the cross-country track, she lived and breathed for her college experience. “I believe every freshman should encounter dorm life to receive the complete college experience.

My experiences were great, and I continue to be friends with both my roommates.”

Indiana State’s Field Campus, the Sycamore Outdoor Center, features 40 acres of lakes plus full-size classrooms, platform tents, a kitchen, showers, and fire pits. Find it 18 miles east of Terre Haute.

Tell your parents this: Studies have found that the more college students participate in extracurricular activities, the better they do in school.

Stay in shape: Bike to class!

The Commons is a hub of activity. People are coming, going, rushing, taking their time. Student organizers have info tables set up; others are doing homework or playing games. You can see people recognize friends from high school they haven’t seen since graduation. There is a lot of laughter.

The University's Permanent Art Collection features works by Warhol, Oldenburg, Rauschenburg, Picasso, Chagall, Magritte, Dali and other modern masters.

Indiana State University's Hulman Center is truly one of the Midwest's finest multi-purpose arenas. The 10,200-seat facility provides an outstanding atmosphere in which to watch college basketball.

Thirty large outdoor sculptures and four indoor sculptures by artists such as John Van Alstine, Chakaia Booker, Michael Dunbar, Howard Kalish, Doug Kornfeld, Franz and Marja de Boer Lichtveld, Thomas Torrens, and Tim Upham dot the State campus. For a virtual tour of the sculptures, visit indstate.edu/artgallery/publicsculpture.htm.

You could work HERE. Most Indiana State academic departments have student workers in their offices. There are lifeguard and dance instructor jobs at the Student Recreation Center, and part-time jobs in the library or bookstore. To learn more, attend the On-Campus Job Fair in early fall.

The spirit of service: As part of the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance (NLA) program, Indiana State graduated 31 Certified Nonprofit Professionals, the second-highest number in the nation, last year. Students in the Indiana State program come from each of the university's five undergraduate colleges and serve partner organizations including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire, March of Dimes, Special Olympics Indiana, Indiana State University Foundation, Goodwill, Voices for America's Children, United Way, Wabash Valley Community Foundation, and the YMCA. They also run campus groups like Autism Speaks U, Association of Fundraising Professionals, Riley Children's Hospital Dance Marathon, Up ‘til Dawn fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and other service organizations.

The LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course: a challenging setup of varying elevations, twists and turns, and a long straight-away. It also has something special for the spectator—openness and unobstructed views.

Campus Safety and Security

Safety is one of Indiana State University’s top priorities. Our Department of Public Safety takes a dynamic approach to ensuring the campus remains a safe and vibrant place to live, work, and play.

• Our crime rate is so low we post it on the Internet! Daily crime logs give you and your parents a detailed and transparent view of campus security.

• At State, more than 25 full-time police officers enforce federal, state, and university laws around the clock.

• Bike patrols provide reliable and speedy assistance to students anywhere on campus. They are also a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to keep our students safe and secure.

• The last thing you need after finishing a math final is a dead car battery! Don’t stress; our Community Service Officers can give you a jump or help change a tire.

• You’ll need a student ID and maybe a parking pass. You may even need to pay a parking ticket. Parking Services is where you take care of such things. We know you have more pressing matters to focus on, so we’ll get you in and out in a jiffy.

For more info on campus security visit indstate.edu/pubsafety

Need a ride?Should you become uneasy about walking to your residence hall after a late night in the library, just pick up a phone at one of our dozens of Blue Light Phone Systems and call for help or info. It’s our job to be sure you feel safe at all times.

You say you met “by accident”?Many spots on campus are designed to foster accidental interactions among students and faculty peers, says Kevin Runion, Associate Vice President for Facilities Management.Because true learning often happens outside the traditional classroom, Indiana State is scattered with relaxed “living room” areas, where people gather on their own time and spontaneous conversations occur. One such place is the sunny atrium at the newly renovated Bayh College of Education, part student lounge, part café and meeting hall.

Center for Student Success (CFSS)

If you’re struggling in a particular class or just need a better study strategy, you’ll find someone who can really help at the CFSS. The teaching experts here provide academic advice, tutoring, mentor programs, and many other services to help students adjust to the rigors of academic life.

Tutoring at the center is free and convenient. One-on-one or small group tutorials are offered in many subjects. Some courses are tutored by appointment, while others—math tutorials, for example—are offered on a walk-in basis. Tutoring may be long-term, short-term, or single visit.

Several CFSS programs, like University 101, are focused on first-year students. Supplemental Instruction (SI) offers free, regularly scheduled, out-of-class review sessions for historically difficult courses. Other specialized support programs include the LEAP Summer Bridge Program, Athletics Studies Program, Twenty-first Century Scholar Corps Program, First-Generation Faculty Mentoring Program, and Student Support Services Program, which includes assistance to persons with special needs.

Career Center

The friendly career coaches at Indiana State’s Career Center will help you practice interviewing, create a top-notch résumé, network with professionals and, most important, find a job!

They can also help you find a part-time job while you’re still a student—on campus or out in the community. We urge all our students to take advantage of our many career-planning services. Visit indstate.edu/carcen or call 812-237-5000 to learn more about how the Career Center can put you ahead of the game.

Student Counseling Center

Stressed out by finals? Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Maybe you went through a difficult break-up or lost a family member. We know life doesn’t stop while classes are in session. At State, you don’t have to deal with these issues alone. The Student Counseling Center gives you a private place to unload your troubles. For about $30 a semester, a licensed social worker or psychologist can help you work through life’s struggles with individual counseling, group counseling, couples counseling, health advisement, crisis intervention, psychiatric services, and substance abuse treatment.

Remember, it takes strength to ask for help. At Indiana State you never have to feel alone. Visit indstate.edu/cns or call 812-237-3939 to learn about our services.

All new students who are coming to college for the first time will attend New Student Orientation. Orientation is a two-day experience that occurs many times throughout June. In order to register for classes, students must attend an orientation session. Families and guests of students are encouraged to attend.

fall classes.• Officially register for your first semester.• Enjoy some down-time in the Student Recreation

Center. (Bring a swimsuit!)

Look right to check out our suggestions.

108 800-GO-TO-ISU • www.indstate.edu/admissions

Page 123: Undergraduate Viewbook 2015

Be prepared.

Check out the academic advising worksheet and talk to your family about expectations for the first semester. You’ll meet one-on-one with an academic advisor during orientation, so family input is important before orientation.

Get to know your Welcome Team Leader.

Each student will be assigned a leader and small group during orientation. Your leader is a great resource during your time at Indiana State. You’ll also meet several new friends in this process.

Stay overnight.

We highly suggest using orientation to get a feel for living on-campus. Even if you’re commuting to campus during the year, stay overnight and hang out with new friends and our student leaders. It’s included in the fee for orientation!

Keep in touch.

Exchange phone numbers, email, or social media sites with your new friends and with our leaders. You’ll have some questions after orientation and we’re all here to help.

We say we’re here to help.That means with the money, too.

Get to know the people in our Office of Student Financial Aid. They will be a tremendous help to you. Let’s start with the basics.

Some things to know about financial aid.

What is it?Financial aid is any money you obtain from outside sources, including from this school, that helps pay the cost of attending Indiana State. It breaks down into these basic forms:

The kind you don’t have to pay back• Scholarships: Awards from Indiana State or

other sources• Grants: Money available through federal or state

governments that you don’t pay back• Work Study: A government-subsidized student

employment program where you work and earn a paycheck to help pay for college costs

The kind you DO have to pay back once you’re out of school• Loans: Some college loans are subsidized by the

government. Others come from banks or other financial service companies. All have to be paid back, with interest.

You don’t have to be the smartest kid in class to receive a scholarship.

Every year, Indiana State awards millions of dollars in scholarships—$8.5 million, to be exact.

Sure, most scholarships are based on some level of academic achievement. But many take other factors—like your extracurricular activities—into consideration. There are need-based scholarships, and scholarships designed to entice people into certain fields of study. There are special scholarships for musicians,* artists,* actors,* business majors, future nurses, aspiring teachers, Twenty-first Century Scholars and many, many more. Get the picture?

You’ll be automatically considered for some awards, just for submitting your application and being admitted on time. Other awards, like President’s Scholarship and the Rural Health Scholarship, require separate applications. Check out www.indstate.edu/scholarships/freshman early and often to discover your opportunities.

*Check out the Creative and Performing Arts Award atindstate.edu/scholarships/freshman/creative.htm

Nearly 80 percent of our students receive scholarships and/or other forms of financial aid.

That’s more than 8,000 students attending Indiana State with financial assistance.

The average “gift aid” financial aid package a student receives is $6,095 per year. (Gift aid is assistance received that does not typically have to be repaid. So, it wouldn’t include loans.)

Your experts on call: The Office of Student Financial Aid.

A large staff works full-time in Indiana State’s Office of Student Financial Aid. Our goal is to make sure every incoming family is informed and assisted throughout the aid application process.

Here is what our Financial Aid Staff wants you to know right away:• In most cases, you can speak with a Financial Aid counselor

on your first visit to the John W. Moore Welcome Center. • You should go through the Financial Aid process, no matter

what you believe about your current eligibility. Did you know that virtually every enrolled student can qualify for a federal loan?

• If you stay in touch with us, we’ll leave no stone unturned in our efforts to help you secure money for college.

It’s personal with us—whether it’s in person, over the phone, or online.

Once you’ve applied for financial aid at State, you’ll gain access to your own, fully secure MyISU Portal. Through this personal online account and message board, you’ll be able to view the changing status of your Indiana State relationship as federal and school aid is estimated, then awarded, and finally, applied to your account.

We’ll keep you posted.

Our financial aid counselors will post updates to alert you when your aid status changes, when more information is needed, or a deadline is approaching.

It all adds up!

Some students may qualify for more than one scholarship. Guess what? At State, you don’t have to accept only one offer. It’s our priority to help you gain access to an affordable, high-quality education. While you can’t accept more scholarship money than the cost of attendance, you can combine smaller awards to make a bigger difference.

Yes! We have payment plans.

Sure. Your parents can write a great big check for tuition at the start of each semester. But they don’t have to. They may also choose to spread the year’s costs out by making ten equal monthly payments; or paying agreed-upon amounts at agreed-upon times.

It’s all explained here:indstate.edu/express/paymentplans.htm

Sooooo, file the FAFSA between January 1 and March 1 to be considered for all possible funding.

Send the FAFSA to Indiana State by listing our school code—001807. Students are notified of award eligibility via regular postal service and also can review their financial aid status on the MyISU Portal. Aid is typically applied to

school accounts about ten days before a term begins. Late paperwork submission or late FAFSA filing can cause delays in processing. Check the MyISU Portal to verify that all requested documents have been submitted.

THIS ACRONYM COULD BE THE KEY TO YOUR FUTURE: FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the application for most types of financial aid at Indiana State University.

Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free. This application is used to determine the dollar amount you and your family will be expected to contribute toward college. It determines your eligibility and gives you access to any and all federal aid that may be available for you.

Just as important, many states and colleges—including Indiana State—require a completed FAFSA, and use your FAFSA data to determine your eligibility for state and school aid. Private financial aid providers may also use your FAFSA information to determine whether you qualify for their aid.

When everyone uses the same form, it streamlines the process and helps keep everything fair and equitable. You actually submit the form to the Federal Student Aid office of the U.S. Department of Education. They make the initial calculations and forward your application and their assessment on to us.

Why should I fill out the FAFSA?

Trust us, the government is right on this one. Here’s what they say on their website:If you don’t fill out the FAFSA, you could be missing out on a lot of financial aid! We’ve heard a number of reasons students think they shouldn’t complete the FAFSA.

Here are a few:• “I (or my parents) make too much money, so I won’t qualify for aid.”• “Only students with good grades get financial aid.”• “The FAFSA is too hard to fill out.”• “I’m too old to qualify for financial aid.”

If you think any of these statements apply to you, then you should read “Myths About Financial Aid” at http://studentaid.ed.gov/sites/default/files/financial-aid-myths.pdf. The reality is, EVERYONE should fill out the FAFSA!
