Ball State would like to recognize many longtime faculty, professional personnel, staff, and service personnel who have announced their retirement. The University would like to thank them for their talent and their dedication. They have continued to support Ball State’s mission, through celebratory and challenging times. Spring events to recognize their commitment and service were canceled in response to the COVID-19 threat. The University will present retirement awards to these individuals at later date.
