About Me:

My name is Steph, and I am a senior Marketing major with a Communication Studies minor. Since this is my last year at Butler, my main goal is to enjoy every moment that I have left, while doing as much as humanly possible. I am a marketing analyst at the Butler Business Accelerator, a Speakers Lab tutor, and a Butler blogger (obviously). I also am an Alpha Phi, the President of the Butler University Student Foundation, a member of Alpha Kappa Psi (a professional business fraternity), and a member of the Butler American Marketing Association. In the small amount of free time that I do have, I love crafting, watching large amounts of television, and enjoying my favorite comfort foods, like sweet tea.

When you come to visit Butler…Part I – Intro

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Stephanie

If you are a junior or a senior in high school, you are probably busy doing campus visits right now.  Campus visits are great for seeing buildings on campus and getting a real feel for student life…but it is also important for prospective students to continue their tour on their own – by exploring the area around campus, and seeing what the city has to offer.  So over the course of a few blogs, I will take you through areas on Butler’s campus and off that I think you should visit when you come to Butler for your visit, whether you are making your decision, or just taking a look.

Also….this blog series is actually based off of a class project that I worked on with my friends Kodi, Abby, and Jayne in our Advertising and Promotion Management class (our assignment was to actually come up with a scavenger hunt…so this is a slight variation).  I wanted to share it with all of you, because I thought it was something that would come in handy, and that would be a helpful guide in your college visit process.  So….mad props go to Kodi, Abby, and Jayne…and Dr. Skinner for giving us this assignment.  I hope that it might help you all as you visit Butler, and possibly navigate Indianapolis for the first time.  I’ll be focusing on Broad Ripple, downtown Indy, and Butler’s campus for each of the blogs, and as always, feel free to comment if you have any questions at all!

Christmas lights, Santa, and reindeer…all at the Indy Zoo

Posted on December 22, 2010 by Stephanie

So last week after finals ended, one of my goals was to experience Indianapolis at Christmastime.  I have always wanted to go to Christmas at the Zoo, but because finals and Christmas always coincide, I have never been able to go.  So this year when a good friend of mine told me that a few of them were going on Wednesday night – the night that I finished my finals – I knew that I had to go.  Basically, it was magical.  My pictures don’t do it justice….but here is a glimpse of our Holiday excursion.  :)

The Holiday Dolphin Show.....

This tree reminded us of Eywa from Avatar....

I thought these were awful cute....

Basically, they put lights on everything at the Zoo.....

During our trip to the Zoo, we got to see Santa, his reindeer, a dolphin show, and all of the other Zoo necessities that were open.  Not all of the animals were out, since you know, it was freezing outside and there was snow on the ground, but we got to see the ones that were inside, and the ones that actually like it to be cold outside.

After spending half of the Christmas season thus far busy with meetings, projects, and studying for tests….Christmas at the Zoo was the best way to get into the Christmas spirit…and fast.  After our visit, I was ready to shop, decorate, and to get home so I could enjoy all of our Christmas traditions at home.  So, I highly recommend going to the Zoo at this time of the year….its rather magical….and who doesn’t love a little magic at Christmastime?
