MUNCIE, Ind. — On Friday, the College of Communication, Information, and Media (CCIM) will hold its second annual CCIM Preview Day at Ball State.
This event is designed for all high school students, both in and out of Indiana, who are looking to work with their interest in media, communication and video.
The event will take place on a Friday, when specific colleges at Ball State will open up to showcase their programs and services.
Digital and community engagement coordinator Brooke Himes explains this move can help students make decisions on what to pursue in their time in college.
“The Office of Admissions created a Friday college preview day,” Himes said, “So that students who have an idea of where they want to go but don’t know what to do in that college have a chance to learn more about them.”
During the day, many activities and events will be held for those who attend. Himes shared her hope for students as they go throughout the day.
“The idea is pretty simple,” Himes said. “We want them to meet the faculty and staff in our college, explore the many opportunities we offer and know what it feels like to be a college student.”
But through it all, the event is meant to “sell” students to choose the CCIM program and pursue their passions through it. Himes explained how she and her other colleagues work hard to bring in new people.
“When we sell our program, it’s not hard,” Himes said. “When we go to different places to talk about Ball State, we don’t need to give our students scripts. They are just passionate and that can be felt.”
The event will begin at 9 a.m. Friday and run until 4 p.m..
