Don’t miss the newest episode of Ball State’s monthly podcast, "Our Call to Beneficence," hosted by President Geoffrey S. Mearns.
Earlier this month, Jeff Mitchell began his tenure as Ball State’s new director of athletics. Already he has identified his vision for the next era of Ball State Athletics—a vision inspired by his previous experience leading athletics departments at colleges and universities across the country.
In this episode, Jeff talks about playing baseball in his youth and how his passion for the sport led to becoming a student-athlete at Millsaps College. And he reveals how his commitment to Millsaps’ athletics department—and to being qualified for future professional opportunities—allowed his career to flourish.
He also shares how his administrative experiences at Santa Clara University and Southern Miss have given him the confidence and the conviction to accelerate the success of Ball State Athletics.
And when asked about his second career as a college sports announcer, Jeff gives listeners a sampling of how he would get the job done.
