Education Redefined is Ball State's marketing term, noting the emphasis on immersive learning that is occurring campus wide.  In a similar fashion, The Communiqué newsletter is also being redefined.  From the expensive editions which were printed on paper sent by land mail, to this new, interactive format, the electronic newsletter provides you with the opportunity to connect with Ball State alumni, faculty and students and to learn of programs and events sponsored by the FCS Alumni Society.  A special link also provides you with a simple method to make a greatly appreciated gift to any of the Family and Consumer Sciences accounts in the Ball State University Foundation.  (For more information, please contact us).

The FCS Alumni Board of Directors supports the department by planning events that will enable alumni to interact with each other or to assist with programs for FCS students.  Please take advantage of these events and you will reap benefits worthy of your effort.  The FCS Alumni Society Board welcomes your questions, comments or willingness to assist with alumni projects.  Email alumni1@bsu.edu or contact the BSU Alumni Association at 765-285-1080.
