BSU President Gora to speak at HSEF annual dinner March 18

March 18, 2008

7:00 pm

Ball State University President Jo Ann M. Gora is the featured speaker for the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation (HSEF) annual dinner Tuesday, March 18, when her topic will be “Ball State University: Education Refined.”

Gora began serving as Ball State University’s 14th president in August, 2004. She is redefining education by making immersive learning the cornerstone of every Ball State student’s college experience and showing a commitment to leading-edge technology and developing nationally ranked academic programs. Under Gora’s leadership, more than $320 million of completed or current construction and renovation has changed the face of Ball State University’s campus in less than four years.

President Gora is a member of the American Council on Education’s Committee on Leadership and Institutional Effectiveness. She was honored as one of 2007’s most influential women in Indiana by the Indianapolis Business Journal. President Gora came to Ball State from the University of Massachusetts Boston, where she had been chancellor since 2001. Previously, she served for nine years as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Old Dominion University in Virginia.

To register for the dinner, go to the HSE web site (www.hse.k12.in.us) and download a form by clicking on the dinner item in “Hot Topics.” Tickets are $125 per person or $1,000 for a table of eight. The dinner at the FORUM Conference Center at 11313 USA Parkway, Fishers, is at 7 p.m. with registration and a social hour beginning at 6 p.m.

The event benefits the HSEF that provides scholarships for Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern high school graduates as well as grants for HSE teachers for classroom enrichment activities. For more information, contact Executive Director Lisa Allen at (317) 594-4100 or email her at hsefoundation@hse.k12.in.us.
