By: Cindy Dashnaw Jackson | November 30, 2023

Teaching high school may look like an odd blip on Muhammad Jan’s healthcare-heavy resume.

By: Hailey Radakovitz ’21 | November 30, 2023

When Al Carroll ’13 addresses a room full of college students, he tends to ask two questions.

Remembering Ross

By: Emily Schlorf '21 | November 30, 2023

Ross Hall, Butler’s oldest residence hall (circa-1954), was first referred to as the Men’s Residence Hall and later named after Butler’s 19th president, M.O. Ross. The hall witnessed just under 70 years of move-ins, move-outs, and first-years finding their way (in addition to many early morning fire alarms and stolen exit signs). And while Ross […]

Blue’s Views

By: Butler Blue IV | May 1, 2023

A lot more goes into being a mascot than what is shown on your screen. The same is true for our student-athletes.

Speaking Up & Standing Out

By: Rachel Stotts | May 1, 2023

Close to Home

By: Marc D. Allan, MFA ’18 | April 28, 2023

Jack Krebs ’63 chose to attend Butler for many reasons—a desire to play for Tony Hinkle, the location (Indianapolis, close to home), and the fraternity system among them.

Hink—The Inside Story

By: Nancy Lyzun | April 28, 2023

One of Butler’s great mysteries is, just who is bringing that eight-foot-tall “Hink” suit to life? A beloved fixture at Butler’s many sporting and special events around campus, the costumed “Butler Bulldog” first appeared over 60 years ago. It was criminal activity that brought to light the need for a name change. In summer 2008, […]

By: Larry Clow | April 28, 2023

The road to medical school for senior Jon Vore began with a concussion. A multi-sport athlete in high school, Vore took a hard hit on the field.
