The UE Office of Veterans Affairs, UE VETS student veterans’ organization, and Show Place Cinemas are pleased to bring the award winning documentary, "Not Yet Begun to Fight" to Evansville. The film features five veterans as they embark upon an excursion to learn the art of fly fishing from Warriors and Quiet Waters in Montana. Warriors and Quiet Waters was started by Vietnam veteran and former Marine, Colonel Hastings. According to Colonel Hastings, fly fishing saved his life as he struggled to readjust from war. Warriors and Quiet Waters instructors teach fly fishing but so much more is learned through the process. One of the veterans featured in the film is Evansville resident and Iraq/Afghanistan War veteran, Erik Goodge. A panel discussion with Erik, a veteran counselor from the Vet Center, and the film's executive producer will follow the showing.

The screening of the documentary is set for Sunday, October 20 at 3:00 p.m. at Show Place Cinemas East on Morgan Avenue. There will be a panel discussion following the film. There will be no cost for tickets; however donations are encouraged with proceeds going to Warriors and Quiet Waters and UE VETS student veteran organization. Seating is limited to 250, on a first-come-first-served basis.  However if more than 250 people show, Show Place Cinemas has agreed to offer a second showing of the film on October 27.

The Office of Residence Life will be hosting its 3rd annual homelessness and poverty awareness event, Box City, on Friday, October 18 on the Morton/Neu Chapel Lawn! Our event will spotlight local agencies as well as share information about what homelessness really looks like for people here in Evansville, Indiana and the surrounding area. Come out to learn about poverty and homelessness in the tri-state. Build a box shelter. Meet new friends. Share an experience you'll never forget.

Homelessness is on the rise during these hard economic times, and the main reason people become homelessness is because they cannot find housing they can afford. Organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Aurora, and Evansville Rescue Mission work diligently to end homelessness.

We would like to invite everyone to form a team; learn, and discuss the problems and possible solutions; compete in our Boxed-In Design Contest; and help us raise awareness of this important issue. Students will also be able to create a team and build a box shelter that they can enter in a design contest and that they may spend the night in if they wish. If you don’t have a team, that’s okay! There will be plenty of things going on that you can participate in. Snacks and drinks will be served.

On October 19, we will be participating in a Volunteer Blitz at the Tri-State Food Bank from 8:30am till noon to conclude the event.
