Don’t Forget to Pick Up Your December paycheck
Holiday shopping and start of the semester expenses can add up this time of year. Remember, paychecks for Business Fellows were available at the Bursar’s Office as of December 30. If you haven’t done so already, make sure you pick up your check before January 25, 2005; otherwise it will be mailed to you.
Congratulations to Stephen Kendall and His Business Fellows Team
As a Business Fellows team on a tight fall semester schedule, Stephen Kendall and his five Business Fellows have wrapped up a successful project. Dr. Kendall and his Business Fellows developed designs for a new research laboratory for the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana. They presented the designs to the clients on December 8, helping the client envision the possibilities for the new lab. Read more about the project on the Ball State Newscenter.

Set a Destination for Your Journey
When employers are looking to hire an employee, they want to see people who have thought about both their personal and professionl goals, and have worked (or are working) to accomplish them. If the jobs they are applying for align with their goals, employers know they will be much more driven to do well, and to stay with the company for a longer period of time. Learn more about setting your own personal and professional goals and how those goals can help you get an edge during the job-search process.
Where Are Your Ethics?
From Enron to Martha Stewart and others, we are seeing a rise in unethical business practices—or maybe it's just getting more and more media attention. Either way, ethics are an important part of professional life, and whether or not to uphold your own or your company's ethics can be a daily decision you could be confronted with. Establishing your own code of ethics at this stage in life can help you make those decisions in the future. Read on for more tips on ethical decision making.

A Little Inspiration
Click the link above to read motivational stories by people who set goals for themselves and worked hard to accomplish them.
A Humanist Code of Ethics:
Do no harm to the earth, she is your mother.
Being is more important than having.
Never promote yourself at another's expense.
Hold life sacred; treat it with reverence.
Allow each person the dignity of his or her labor.
Open your home to the wayfarer.
Be ready to receive your deepest dreams;
sometimes they are the speech of unblighted conscience.
Always make restitutions to the ones you have harmed.
Never think less of yourself than you are.
Never think that you are more than another.
—Arthur Dobrin
