Dr. Margaret Ball “Our students work well as individuals; the Chinese students work more collectively,” observed Dr. Margaret Ball, associate professor of theatre, who spent three weeks at Shanghai Normal University with four undergraduate students from ESU. Shanghai is one of ESU’s two sister schools in China—and one of five global partners. Working together in music and dance, East and West created a happy medium. The Chinese are eager for exchange with the West; and everyone benefits from a well-made bridge. Dr. Ball sums it up: “There are good things in both approaches. And putting them together we got something even better.” For more information on Dr. Ball, visit esu.edu/margaret_ball.

Sean Eich ’13
ESU has two television studios and the student-run radio station WESS 90.3 FM. An active Multicultural Affairs program offers events and chances to discover more about your world—and yourself!
Campus radio stations do more than entertain listeners. For Sean Eich ’13, working at ESU’s 90.3 WESS while pursuing a communication studies major gave him the opportunity to serve as a music programming intern with SiriusXM, the broadcaster with 165+ channels and 24 million subscribers. While his degree could take him almost anywhere, Eich wouldn’t mind a full-time gig running with a top dog like SiriusXM. He’s been asked back for a second internship, and that bodes well. In the meantime though, he loves what he does. As Eich puts it, “The job is just so much fun.” For more information on Sean, visit esu.edu/sean_eich.
