Ball State’s Top 100 Student Awards recognizes outstanding junior and senior undergraduates who represent Beneficence both in and out of the classroom. All applications were reviewed and scored by BSU alumni across the country. EMDD is excited to recognize our very own Madison Clark and Kami Geron among BSU’s Top 100 Students.

Madison “Sunny” Clark comes from Brownsburg, Ind. She completed her undergraduate degree in Visual Communications at Ball State with a minor in Digital Media. She is enrolled in the Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute’s Gen:i program and is a student ambassador for the Excellence in Leadership program. Sunny chose to pursue an accelerated master’s degree in Emerging Media Design and Development because she enjoyed the undergraduate design thinking course (EMDD 216) that she took her sophomore year. This led to her promotion at the Ball State Digital Corps as student design team lead. During the upcoming 2023-24 school year, Sunny is excited to take her talents to the next level in the Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute program as a graduate assistant.

Kami Geron is a double major in Journalism and Studio Art, and is pursuing an accelerated master’s degree in EMDD, as well. Kami has been involved in a number of organizations on campus, including serving as vice president of recruitment and marketing for her sorority, Kappa Delta, art director for Ball Bearings magazine, and creative assistant at the McKinley Avenues Agency, to name a few. Kami is a true ambassador for the School of Journalism and Strategic Communication.

Kami has also been working hard to bring emerging media into her artworks. Her piece “Transmedia Experience” was featured in the 88th Annual Juried Student Art Show at Ball State. As she continues into her senior thesis project, she is excited to use her knowledge of EMDD to make her artworks come alive. Kami’s art can be viewed in the Ned and Gloria Griner Art Gallery, open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until March 16, 2023.

All of Ball State’s Top 100 Student Award recipients will be recognized from 3 to 4 p.m. during One Ball State Day on April 5, 2023.
