Student ProfileKaleb Loosbrock
“My experiences at Butler have been phenomenal, and with my focus in theatre I am challenged artistically, creatively and intellectually, and I constantly learn.” Building upon this strong foundation, Kaleb spent the second half of his junior year in Spain and the following summer in Wales. Those treks took his education a step further and changed his entire outlook on the world. “It is completely different to read and learn about something and then to go and actually experience it — it was great to connect mentally, physically and emotionally with the places I had read or heard about in the past. It changed the way I think,” he says. “As I traveled to the different countries in Europe I realized we are a global community and we are all citizens of the world — it is not just about ourselves in our own environment.” While at the Center for Cross Cultural Studies in Seville, Spain, and the European Live Arts Network (ELAN) in Wales, Kaleb formed friendships that will stay with him. After graduation, he plans to return to Spain to complete his master’s and eventually open a not-for-profit art center in the United States that explores and celebrates the cultures of the world. “I want to bring the global community to America.”

As
a Lilly Endowment Community Scholar, Kaleb Loosbrock had his choice
on where in Indiana to attend college, but he remembers well the moment
he decided Butler was the place for him. “I came to Butler on
a whim, and as I was sitting on the lawn of Robertson Hall I heard
the sounds of singing and musical instruments coming from Lilly Hall,
and
I just knew this was the right place for me.” Coming from Chalmers,
Ind., population 300, was a big step for the young man, but as he
completes his arts administration major he’s found that his decision
opened a world of possibilities.
