Spring 2017 
Dr. Willie L. Banks, Jr. celebrates the 2017 Spring Commencement with SAHE graduate Allison Ramsey, GR'17.
Vice President Banks Reflects on 2016-17
As I finish my second year as the VPSA for Indiana State University, I am taking a moment to count my blessings. I am so fortunate to be able to work with a great group of professionals who are committed to enhancing the lives of our students on a daily basis. I am thankful for the students that show up on our campus yearning for experiences that will be challenging, affirming, and transformative. I am even more thankful for a community that will support, lift, and celebrate all of our differences on a daily basis. 
Our work can be hard and tiring, but it is also rewarding in so many ways. As the semester closes, I am looking forward to sending our new graduates into the world to make positive changes. I’ll also take a moment to be thankful for a great institution and community that continues to challenge and reward me on a daily basis. 
I hope you will take some time to count your blessings and celebrate the end of another great year. 
Thank you for your continued support and Go Trees!

Student Advisory Board Concludes First Year
In the fall of 2016, the Division of Student Affairs installed its first Student Advisory Board (SAB).  The SAB consists of student leaders from around the ISU community and their purpose is to provide feedback and leadership on issues important to the student experience at Indiana State. This year, the SAB met with the Chief of Police, the Executive Director of Residential Life, the Title IX Coordinator and several other University administrators.  To learn more, click on the SAB main page.
Student Spotlight: Jamina Tribbett
When Jamina Tribbett traveled the 1700 miles from her home in Las Vegas to enroll at ISU, she didn't know what the future held for her.  As she prepared to graduate on May 13, 2017, Ms. Tribbett reflected on why choosing ISU was the right decision for her in this edition's "Student Spotlight."
