Are you interested in applying for a Benjamin Gilman Scholarship in support of your study abroad experience in Summer 2013 or Fall 2013?

If so, please attend one of two Gilman Scholarship Workshops on Thursday, February 7th at 5:00 p.m. or on Friday February 8th at 12:00 noon, both in SB 162.  A major goal of the Gilman Scholarship is to enable US citizens “of limited financial means to pursue academic studies abroad.”  The Gilman organization defines “limited financial means” as being a recipient of a federal Pell Grant.  Only US citizens who receive Pell Grants may apply.  Pell Grant recipients who are applying to a summer 2013 program of at least 28 days duration in one country may apply in this application cycle as well as students who will be abroad in the fall semester 2013. 

There is much useful information on the Gilman website:

www.iie.org/gilman

The application must be completed by March 5, so it is important to act promptly. 

This workshop will focus on the Summer 2013 and Fall 2013 application process, but students who are Pell Grant eligible and considering a future term abroad are also welcome to attend to start early planning. 

Questions?  Contact Earl Kirk (ek43) in the Study Abroad Office, SB 263. 
 

All University of Evansville full-time undergraduate students who will be juniors or seniors in 2013-14 may apply. An essay of about 300 words must accompany the application, along with two to five faculty recommendation letters.

It was the desire of the donor, Margery Florence Kahn, that her scholarship be awarded to "dedicated and conscientious students who exhibit a true passion for their chosen fields of study, and who, in the opinion of the members of the University of Evansville faculty, are likely to bring the same enthusiasm into the performance of their jobs or the practice of the professions which they will pursue following graduation."

Applications are available from the Office of Financial Aid (Olmsted Hall 116). Completed applications and recommendation letters should be returned by April 1.

Questions may be directed to the Office of Financial Aid at (812) 488-2364, (800) 424-8634 or financialaid@evansville.edu.

Colt Ryan hit the 20-point mark yet again, but his 27 points was not enough as Bradley defeated the University of Evansville men's basketball team by a final score of 76-70 at Carver Arena.Ryan hit 10 out of 22 attempts on the night, including 3 treys and all four free throws.  D.J. Balentine tallied 13 for UE (13-11, 6-6 MVC) on a 5-of-10 shooting effort.  Ned Cox registered 10.  Leading the way for Bradley (14-10, 6-6 MVC) was Dyricus Simms-Edwards, who notched 21 points.  Walt Lemon Jr. and Tyshon Pickett finished with 17 apiece.

Bradley hit its first two shots out of the gate before Ned Cox got UE on the board just over two minutes into the game to make it 4-2.  Bradley got its offense cranking, draining 7 of its first 12 shots en route to a 16-4 lead.  Evansville's offense stalled, starting the contest 2-10 from the floor while turning the ball over four times in the first eight minutes.

Cox took things in his own hands, ending what was a 10-0 run with a trey eight minutes in.  His shot began an 8-0 stretch for UE as D.J. Balentine capped it off with a trey to cut the deficit to just four at 16-12.  After missing his first five attempts on the night, Colt Ryan bounced back in a big way, draining his last five attempts of the half to finish the frame with 14 points.

Ryan outscored the Braves, 9-3, in a stretch of just 1:34 with Dyricus Simms-Edwards hitting a three in the middle.  With 33 ticks left in the half, Ryan did it again, knocking down his first three of the game to give UE a 33-30 advantage.  Simms-Edwards hit a bucket at the buzzer as the Aces went to the half up by a 33-32 margin.

Following its slow offensive start, UE rallied to hit 10 of its final 17 attempts while also holding a 19-13 rebounding lead.  Troy Taylor was in usual form, hauling in six. 

Colt kept his rally going into the second half, knocking down a three on the first UE possession before a layup on the next trip down the floor to give Evansville its largest lead of the game at 38-32.  Jake Eastman ended the stretch with his first 3-pointer before Simms-Edwards hit a circus shot at the 16-minute mark to tie the game back up at 40-40.

Bradley continued to utilize the long-range shot as they retook the lead at 46-42 as a Walt Lemon Jr. trey capped off an 11-2 run that saw Bradley hit three of its first five threes of the second stanza.  The run for the Braves would grow to a 23-6 stretch that saw BU go up by a score of 55-44.  Egidijus Mockevicius ended the run with his first bucket of the evening.

With Bradley up 63-54, Evansville began to chip away as they quickly cut the lead to just three points on a Lewis Jones bucket with just over 3:20 remaining.  The deficit remained at a possession until Colt Ryan connected on his third trey of the game with just 1:33 left to knot the game at 70. 

Lemon gave the lead back to Bradley with two free throws with a minute left and the Aces would be unable to capitalize on their late opportunities as Bradley finished with the 76-70 victory.

Rebounds were even at 33 as Taylor led UE with eight.  Bradley hit 49.1% of their shots while UE hit 45%. 

On Sunday, the Aces will return home to face Drake in a 7:05 p.m. matchup set to be televised on ESPNU.  It will also be "Throwback Night" as the first 1,000 fans will receive a Jerry Sloan replica jersey t-shirt.  Fans are encouraged to wear orange and show their spirit in front of a national audience.

The University of Evansville softball team has announced that it will hold its Winter Coaches Clinic on February 9th and 10th for high school and summer coaches.“My goal for this clinic is that it will be a really informative and detailed type that allows the coaches to interact in a relaxed atmosphere,” says head coach #Mark Redburn#.

Coaches will be able to view practices and training, attend sessions with the UE coaching and strength staff, as well as learn about topics such as defense/offense, pitching, and others.

My staff and I will address any questions that the coaches may have.  We also want to provide them a much deeper understanding about playing softball at this level, but also give them material that they can take back and apply to their teams.  “
