I am fortunate to serve as executive director of the
Ball State University Alumni Association and as an
administrative official for our 113,922 alumni. The
academic year 1999-2000 was one of expanded
activity, reconnection, and technology
advancement for the BSUAA.
Mary Link, Connersville, and Tony Schneider, Indianapolis, led your
governing body, the Alumni Council, during the past fiscal year.
They and the university administration should be congratulated for
providing the vision to create a valuable and vibrant Alumni
Association.
The most visible new project for the past year was the establishment
of CART (Cardinal Alumni Recruitment Team), a group of alumni
from around the country who volunteer to assist the BSUAA to
identify, recruit, and retain quality students for Ball State University.
Currently we have 44 CART members in 11 states and have
awarded ten $500 scholarships to successfully recruited students.
Traditional activities: reunions, Alumni College Weekend, alumni golf
outings, Homecoming, and the production of the Ball State Alumnus
were very successful and provided excellent opportunities for
individuals to reconnect with the campus and other alumni. Our
service programs: Cardinal Alumni Retail Discount (CARD), alumni
insurance programs, and First USA affinity credit card continued to
expand and add benefit for individual alumni. Finally, the revamping
of our BSUAA Web site and its increased usage by our alumni are
both rewarding and predictive of the future.
With the close of academic year 2000, University President John E.
Worthen retired after 16 successful years of leadership. The BSUAA
benefited greatly during his tenure. A few examples were the
opening of the Alumni Center, the addition of 52,839 new alumni
(this represents 46.4% of all Ball State alumni), and the
reorganization of the BSUAA in 1988. Through his leadership,
support, and tolerance, the BSUAA has a structure for the future,
has become one of the best in the Mid-American Conference, and is
one of the top-50 alumni associations in the country.
It has been my privilege to participate in this extremely rewarding
year, the productive results of which have come from countless
hours of effort by our dedicated alumni volunteers and staff. Their
contributions have guided us through another successful year of
serving a diverse alumni population.
THANK YOU!
Your investment is both appreciated and greatly respected.
Happy Days,

ADMISSIONS RECRUITMENT
Prospective Student Receptions
Receptions for prospective students were held in Indiana, Chicago, and
Cincinnati by Ball State's Office of Admissions with the assistance of alumni.
Alumni volunteers staffed registration tables and served as welcoming
ambassadors for the university. A total of 47 alumni volunteers worked at the
receptions. A list of last year's admissions receptions is included in the past
activities section of this report.
Alumni/Admissions Partnership
The Cardinal Alumni Recruitment Team (CART) is a network of alumni
volunteers who assist Ball State University with student recruitment. Formed in
1999 by the Alumni Association and the Office of Admissions, the goal of the
CART program is to identify, recruit, and retain quality students for Ball State
University. CART members were involved during the fiscal year 1999-2000 in
various capacities during the admission process. CART members worked to
increase the quality of students enrolling in Ball State University, enhanced
students' access to Ball State University from their local communities, and
extended the University's geographic reach to allow greater diversity and
selectivity of students.
In 1999-2000, CART members represented Ball State at area college fairs,
contacted and referred prospective students, and served as ambassadors at
admissions receptions. A bus trip in which CART members brought 133 high
school students from throughout Indiana and Chicago to campus was held on
January 8. Prospective students were served lunch, received admissions and
financial aid information, met with counselors, and attended a Ball State
basketball game.
Founding members of CART were: Illinois - Michael Flack, Susan J. Taylor, and
Keith Robinson; Indiana - Gayle Hartleroad, Michael Hawley, Jenell Joiner,
Vicki Mauro, Andrea McDonald, Charmaine Powell, Foster Stephens, and
Constance Winfrey; Kansas - Laurie Fallon, and John and Judith Yount;
Kentucky - Bill Clark, Virginia Hatfield, Elinore Jeffcoat, Stephen Schnacke,
Amy Shaper, David Voglund, Chad and Tamara Waggoner, and Jaeson Welch;
Missouri - James Bryan, Andrew and Tara Pickard, and Carolyn Steinfeldt; New
York - Richard Poppa and Krishna Thomas; Ohio - Wendy Greeley, Kerry
Hendel, Michael and Patrycja Thomas, and Jewell Weiss; Pennsylvania Cynthia Gilfoyle; Texas - Ed McGuire; Virginia - Erin Kennedy; and Wisconsin Christine Finiak.
The CART scholarship, worth $500 each, was available to incoming freshmen.
The following students received CART scholarships for the 1999-2000
academic year: Elizabeth G. Davis, R. Nelson Snider High School, Fort Wayne;
Joey R. Duncan, Avon High School, Avon; Justin M. Pose, South Side High
School, Fort Wayne; Lorinda M. Sliger, Elkhart Memorial High School, Elkhart;
Carinne S. Uslar, South Side High School, Fort Wayne; and Tamara L.
Williams, Bluffton High School, Bluffton.
Alumni Legacy Scholarship
The Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship is offered to show appreciation to
alumni who contributed to the enrichment and growth of Ball State University
through active membership in the Alumni Association. The scholarship is a
one-time, nonrenewable award that assists entering freshmen or currently
enrolled students who are children or grandchildren of alumni. Legacy
Scholarships are awarded annually by the Alumni Council, the governing body
of the Ball State University Alumni Association.
Forty scholarships for $1,500 each were awarded for the 1999-2000 academic
year. For a listing of the 1999 recipients, their parents and/or grandparents, and
hometowns, see the Awards and Scholarships section of this report.

State University Alumni Council to promote student involvement in Cardinal Corps.

Dr. Robert E. Linson, '47MA48,
emeritus vice president for
University Relations, served Ball
State as executive director of the
BSUAA for 25 of his 32 years as a
campus administrator. Although

Scholarship recognizes student
involvement in alumni activities by
providing a financial award to one
who has contributed time and
energy to student- and
alumni-related programs at the
university.
The 1999 recipient of the Linson Scholarship was Lori Pfister, '99.
Pfister, a public relations major, was executive assistant/faculty liaison and
opening day event chair for the 1999 Homecoming Steering Committee and had
coordinated publicity for the 1998 event.
The Auburn, Indiana native was also employed by the BSUAA as an
undergraduate communications assistant from 1996 through December 1999,
when she graduated. She worked as an intern with the U.S. Olympic Committee in
Colorado Springs, and was a member of Cardinal Communications, a student-run
public relations firm, and Kappa Tau Alpha journalism honor society.
Linson presented the award to Pfister at the October 1, 1999, Alumni Awards
Dinner in conjunction with Homecoming.
