Bayh College of Education

As we all know, Indiana State University has a new College of Education. The old College of Education used to be were the current College of Business is. However, those buildings were meant to be dormatories, not classrooms.

All last year, construction was done to the old State High on 7th street. State High used to be a school for students to practice teaching, but it soon turned into a high school. After that, the building was used as a preschool/daycare. Since the building has been renovated, it has become the new College of Education and it is beautiful and up to date.

It is named after the Bayh family, who have been attached to Terre Haute since the 1920s. Today, Evan Bayh came to ISU for the dedication of the new college. However, there was little publicity. I think something this important should be advertized a lot, but it was not. If we want people like Evan Bayh to be involved with our school, then we have to show them that we want them to be involved. This would include advertising their visits and showing up to their events.
