What started off as a cold, hour long bus ride to Fishers, Indiana, ended up as a striking success for the Miller College of Business at Ball State University. The first snowfall of the year decided to start on our way to the city just north of Indianapolis, and to our dismay, the heat on the bus failed to blow anything but cold air. About 16 current Miller Honors students attended the event, with four Miller Honors Alumni as well, in the hopes of recruiting some of the finest business students around.

Nearly 70 interested high school students and their parents were registered for the recruiting event. Ages ranged from sophomores to seniors attending high schools from Indiana, to Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. Some students had been admitted to Ball State, some had not heard yet; however nearly all attendees were interested in majoring in business.

The current Miller College Honors students immediately began mingling with the interested prospects. Parents and students were able to ask their burning questions, and learn not only about the Miller College of Business, but the Miller College of Business Honors Program. Following the initial conversations with students and parents were multiple speakers on what Ball State University, the Miller College of Business, and the Miller Honors Program all have to offer.

Following the speakers, the students and parents were dismissed to their convenience. Multiple families remained to ask more questions and speak with a variety of current Miller Honors students. After wrapping up, the Miller Honors students ventured back onto their ice cold bus and headed to Steak n’ Shake for dinner. The laughs and stories exchanged the rest of the night were priceless, as that is one of the most rewarding parts of the Miller Honors Program.
