This weekend, May 13 and 14, the first ever UE Football Reunion will be held.  Over 200 former football players plus their guests will be participating in a variety of activities. They’ll be on campus Saturday at 11 a.m. for a brunch in the Ridgway University Center  and campus tours will follow.   More information can be found at www.evansville.edu/alumni or by calling extension 2586. 

Kim McDonald, Associate Director of Enrollment Communication, has been selected as this year’s Administrator of the Year. Kim came to UE in 2003 as the administrative assistant to the Executive Vice President. Over the years, she has also served the Administrative Associate for Enrollment Services and Enrollment Services Coordinator.

Those nominating Kim praised her not only for her successful efforts in supporting enrollment services, but also for her graciousness toward others under constant deadline pressure.  One nominator described Kim as one of the most productive employees they have ever encountered.

Over the last eight years, Kim has been pivotal in the University's admissions efforts.  She does a great job making sure our students are happy, comfortable and thriving at UE.  She is responsible for multiple forms of contact with every prospective and incoming UE student whether it be through publications, website content, social media or recruitment activities planning.

In addition to all of her work to help bring students to UE, Kim has also been instrumental in helping to keep them here.  The freshman retention program that she has managed is proof that our students need a little taking care of once they get to UE.

Assistant Professor of Education Matthew Knoester has had an article published in the journal "Educational Policy" (Volume 25, Number 3, May 2011, pp. 387-423). The article is titled "Is the Outcry for More Pilot Schools Warranted? Democracy, Collective Bargaining, Deregulation, and the Politics of School Reform in Boston." As the title suggests, the article evaluates pilot schools in the Boston Public Schools based on achievement data, as well as criteria relating to various forms of segregation, family engagement, and working conditions for teachers.
