Angie Springs

“I value not only the educational advantage that I received at Western, but the relationships that were built. It means a lot to me that all of the faculty and staff in my department know me by my first and last name today, even though I have been out of school since 2002. I know they truly care.”

Angie Springs, ’02

Volunteer Coordinator, American Red Cross


Laura Shue O'Hara

“After graduating from Western, I earned my master’s and Ph.D. and am eight years into a successful career as a professor. I love my career and my life, and I never forget who helped me get here – Western’s ‘guardian angels.’ I tell my Western story to my students, showing them that a bright future can be theirs. I try to help them achieve that vision, just as my own guardian angels at Western did for me.” 

Laura Shue O’Hara, Ph.D., ’92

Associate Professor of Communication Studies

Ball State University


“The opportunity to operate the equipment that I would be using when I entered the work force created a smooth transition to working in the ‘real world’ after graduation. My hands-on experiences as a student allowed me to develop the necessary skills that I use in my career today.”

Thad Vessar, ’96
Television Production Specialist


“Every professor I had was interested in my success as a student and took the time to get to know me. The classes were small, which fostered a very close-knit atmosphere. I also had a tremendous amount of hands-on experience in my classes.”

Rachel Graves, ’03
