Ball State named Beth Nue as the new director of the Fort Wayne office of Building Better Communities Friday.
Building Better Communities is an immersive learning program that pairs Ball State students with community members to work to solve community problems with students ideas, according to the website.
“We could do community outreach, make sure the community and alumni know about the programs,” Nue said.
The new office in Fort Wayne offers the community ideas on how to create business connections for students and provide them with field experience.
Nue’s goals are to interact with the leadership of the community and ensure they know the types of programs Ball State has to offer, such as media, art and architecture.
Kelli Huth, director of the BBC fellows program, said the program looks to allow students to work in the Fort Wayne community and offer their expertise to those community members who could use it.
Nue said this program exists to help increase involvement, improvement, advancement and development in Fort Wayne.
“Basically we want to improve the economy as a whole with Ball State expertise,” Nue said.
