Dr. Lindsey Blom, a professor of Sport and Exercise Psychology at Ball State University, has earned a high honor from the Mid-American Conference (MAC) for her dedication to student fulfillment.

“Professor Blom earned this great honor as a result of her dedication to the success and welfare of our students,” Ball State President Geoffrey S. Mearns said. “I am proud that, for the second consecutive year, one of our outstanding teachers has received this recognition. It is a reflection of the commitment of our faculty and staff to the success of all of our students.”
In this second part of our spotlight on Scotland’s games industry, we look at education and the pipeline of new talent. And if you missed it check out the first part of our investigation, where we size up the industry and speak to some of its leaders.
