Dogs and Donuts is back and better than ever! Presented by the College of Communication, Information, and Media and CCIM Living-Learning Community in its home of Botsford-Swinford Hall. Come meet the Dogs of your CCIM Faculty and Staff and have a Concannon's donut! 

Dogs and Donuts is one of the CCIM LLCs biggest events of the semester and we are so excited to welcome Students, Faculty, and Staff to this event! Join us on the back patio on the North side of Botsford-Swinford Hall for this event and family members of faculty and staff are welcome to attend. This opportunity allows students to make connections with faculty members, enjoy donuts, and delight in the sweet company of furry companions!

Q: Who is Dogs and Donuts for? What if I don't have a dog?

A: Dogs and Donuts is for everyone!

For students it is an opportunity to connect with people in your major and meet the faculty and staff in your department that help make your experience at Ball State great. If you are a faculty or staff who does not have a dog, please come and meet the students in your classes and have a donut! All are welcome to attend. 

Q: I have more than one dog, can I bring both?

A:Yes, but... 

Every dog at Dogs and Donuts needs their own "person" so if you bring more than one dog, please be sure to bring another person with you to help you keep up with your dog! Family members are welcome! 

Q: I am a student at Ball State, can I bring my pet dog?

A: No, due to liability reasons, Dogs and Donuts is for BSU Faculty or Staff to bring their dogs.

Are you a Faculty or Staff member that would like to bring your pet dog to Dogs and Donuts? Here is what you need to know:
