Our Mission

We serve Ball State students, faculty and staff by pursuing, developing, and implementing evidence-based practices in teaching, learning, and student support services. We do this through an adaptive culture of rigorous assessment and evaluation of techniques and approaches that benefit Ball State students both near and far.

Our Vision

We understand our students deeply—their motivations, anxieties, and hopes for the future. We will continue to use that understanding to inform our advocacy on their behalf in an ever-increasing competitive climate. We share our knowledge and support faculty, staff, and others in providing high-quality, engaging, and impactful educational experiences—no matter the barriers—that help students lead meaningful lives and have fulfilling careers.
