Meet EMDD’s Top 100 Students Sunny and Kami.\u00a0<\/h2>

Ball State\u2019s 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\u2019s Top 100 Students.<\/p>

Madison \u201cSunny\u201d 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\u2019s Gen:i program and is a student ambassador for the Excellence in Leadership program. Sunny chose to pursue an accelerated master\u2019s 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.<\/p>

Kami Geron is a double major in Journalism and Studio Art, and is pursuing an accelerated master\u2019s 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<\/em> 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.<\/p>

Kami has also been working hard to bring emerging media into her artworks. Her piece \u201cTransmedia Experience\u201d 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>

All of Ball State\u2019s Top 100 Student Award recipients will be recognized from 3 to 4 p.m. during One Ball State Day on April 5, 2023.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

While a typical thesis could take hours to present, competing students have a 3-minute time limit. The competition challenges students by making them condense their research findings to be presented concisely to an audience who may not be familiar with the subject. EMDD students Zainab Aamir and Matt Lowe competed against eight other contestants this year. Zainab placed 1st and won the People\u2019s Choice Award, claiming $1500 for her efforts. She will also represent Ball State University at the regional competition - The 2023 Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools 3MT competition in Chicago, IL! Matt secured the 3rd place award and a $500. Zainab's presentation discusses \u201cUsers\u2019 Privacy Considerations in Virtual Reality.\u201d Her research aims to understand user-centric privacy considerations when using VR headsets and assesses how being more informed affects users\u2019 privacy attitudes. She is working with Advisor Dr. Joshua A. Fisher for this research. Zainab is originally from Lahore, Pakistan, where she majored in Management Science and Computer Science. Her motivation to pursue her graduate thesis on users\u2019 privacy considerations while using VR headsets stems from her interest in usable privacy and extended reality (XR) technologies. Matt's thesis presentation is titled "Capitol Gains: Ethics and intent of transmedia, resulting from the January 6 Select Committee Report." His research examines how transmedia is used by media outlets to influence their audience by looking at news stories published in the weeks surrounding the release of the January 6 Select Committee Report. For this research, he is working with Advisor Dr. Kevin Moloney. Matt is the Project Manager for the School of Journalism and Strategic Communication.
