The University of Evansville celebrates its birthday each February on Founders Day - this year on Sunday, February 15. Founders Day marks the incorporation of Moores Hill College, its move to Evansville, the charter as Evansville College, and its officially becoming the University of Evansville. All four dates fall between February 10 and 19.

Founders Day begins with a convocation and worship service at 10:30 a.m. in Neu Chapel. The service, open to the public, features the Edgar M. McKown Lecture, given this year by James MacLeod, UE professor of history. His topic will be “Holding Aloft the Lamp.”

MacLeod has an MA and PhD from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He taught history at UE’s British campus, Harlaxton College, from 1994 to 1999, before coming to UE. He has received both the United Methodist Institutions outstanding teacher award and the University’s Outstanding Teacher Award.

Also during the service, five new UE full professors will be recognized.

Cris Hochwender, PhD, Department of Biology
Hochwender has a BA in biology from Cornell College, and an MS and PhD in biology from the University of Missouri in St. Louis. He maintains an impressive scholarship program, and has taken on responsibilities at both University and department levels.

Alan Kaiser, PhD, Department of Archaeology and Art History
Kaiser has a BA in history and anthropology at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and a PhD in archaeology at Boston University. He has made impressive professional contributions, has many teaching recognitions and is engaged in the UE community.

Kyle Kiesel, PhD, Department of Physical Therapy
Kiesel has a BS in physical education at the University of Nebraska, Kearney, an MPT from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and a PhD from the University of Kentucky. He is recognized world-wide for his expertise in low back pain, and has received the Dean’s Teaching Award.

Annette Parks, PhD, Department of History
Parks has a BA in history from Oglethorpe University, and an MA and PhD in history from Emory University. Chair of the Department of History, she mentors UE students for regional and national conferences, and has been a member of the Human Relations Committee and Gender and Women’s Studies.

Mark Shifflet, PhD, Department of Communication
Shifflet has a BA in mass communications from Abilene Christian University, an MA in telecommunications from Michigan State University, and a PhD from Rutgers University. His travels in China as a Fulbright Scholar resulted in a report to the US Department of Education and the National Committee for US-China relations. He has served as Department of Communication chair.

Founders Day concludes with the Alumni Awards Luncheon at noon. During the luncheon, the University of Evansville Alumni Association will present four alumni awards.

Distinguished Alumna Award: Carrie Preston, UE graduate and actress who has appeared in such TV shows as True Blood and The Good Wife, and the movie My Best Friend’s Wedding.

Young Alumnus Award: UE graduate Brian Revalee, United Way administrator and community leader of Oxford, Ohio.

Edie Bates Volunteer Service Award: UE graduates Robert and Judith Wargel of Evansville, retired chemists who serve on UE’s Science Advisory Council

Samuel Orr Honorary Alumni Award: Jean Beckman, professor emeritus of chemistry and former dean of arts and sciences at UE

The University’s John Wesley Gallery will be open Founders Day from 9:30 a.m.-10:15 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. This John Wesley Methodist Commemorative Collection is believed to be the world’s second largest private collection of items related to John Wesley and Methodism. The oldest item in the collection dates back to 1745.

With the change from a college to a university structure, four former departments became schools, each with a dean rather than a department head. Effective July 1, 1968, the University established the following:

School of Business Administration, Ray Arensman, Dean
School of Education, Earl M. Tapley, Dean
School of Engineering, William O. Hartsaw, Dean
School of Nursing, Helen C. Smith, Dean

At the same time two colleges were created:
College of Fine Arts, Sam Smiley, Dean
College of Arts and Sciences, George English, Dean

A final major administrative change was the addition of several positions at the vice presidential level, although in some cases the change involved name rather than function. Thus the title of the chief academic officer (Nicholas C. Brown), previously dean of Evansville College, became vice president for academic affairs.

The Department of Music, in collaboration with the Under the Beams concert series in New Harmony, Indiana, is pleased to offer a special event in Wheeler Concert Hall on Friday, February 20, at 1:00 pm. Van Cliburn Competition winner Vadym Kholodenko will be on-campus, speaking about and playing excerpts from his Under the Beams recital program, which will be performed in New Harmony the following evening.

Born in Kiev, Kholodenko is the first musician in his family. He made his first appearances in the United States, China, Hungary, and Croatia at the age of 13. In 2005, Kholodenko moved to Moscow to study at the Moscow State Conservatoire with Professor Vera Gornostaeva. He currently resides in Fort Worth, Texas, with his wife and two daughters. Winner of the coveted gold medal at the Fourteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2013, Kholodenko captured the attention of jury, audience, and critics alike for powerful, exhilarating performances that “showed the guts of a true superartist” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Also taking home prizes for best performance of the piano quintet and best performance of the commissioned work, he further demonstrated his artistry with a stunning cadenza in Mozart’s Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467 that he composed himself on the plane from Moscow to the Competition. Since then, Kholodenko has continued to build an international reputation for interpretations that are “impeccable, tasteful and vibrant, and also something more: imaginative” (Cleveland Plain Dealer).

The on-campus event is free and open to students, faculty, and community members.

Celebrate Black History Month with a little known fact, today, February 13.

Zerah Priestly Carter was the first black graduate from the University of Evansville. She was the first black to attend University of Evansville, known then as Evansville College and the first to receive a four year degree.

She entered Evansville College in 1934 and graduated in 1938.

She was recommended by Professor William E. Best and a teacher, Mrs. Sallie Stewart, both black. During that time the President of Evansville College, Dr. Earl Harper asked that a black student that “could see and not see,” and who “could hear and not hear,” be recommended. Ms. Priestly Carter was warned that she might encounter some unpleasant situations and minor racial occurrences, but that she should ignore them if they arise.

Ms. Carter was a member of the college branch of the Y.W.C.A. Their program included a trip to Ball State in Muncie, Indiana. When Ball State became aware that there was a black student who would be in attendance on the trip, university officials called and said that they could not make on-campus accommodations for her but would find alternate housing off-campus for her visit. However, Evansville College officials insisted that she would not be separated from the group. Ball State was able to accommodate without incident or embarrassment.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Education, Ms. Carter spent her career as an esteemed educator in the Evansville public school system, influencing many African-Americans who would eventually attend the University of Evansville. After playing such a key role in pioneering UE’s African-American tradition, it was only fitting that the African American Alumni members name a scholarship in her honor, the Zerah Priestly Carter Scholarship.

The Zerah Priestly Carter Scholarship is an endowed scholarship that will extend into perpetuity, making it a permanent example of UE African American tradition. The scholarship is awarded annually to a deserving African American student. The scholarship is a source of financial support to students; but, more importantly, it is another way that students not only can identify with the UE African American tradition, but also help carry on the tradition by contributing to the University and the community with their gifts of time, talent, and treasure.

For more information about the scholarship, contact Angela Williams in the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations.

The Departments of Physical Therapy and Alumni Relations hosted an Alumni Reception last week in Indianapolis at the American Physical Therapy Association’s Combined Sections Meeting.  Approximately 70 UE PT faculty and alumni attended the event.

Seniors Zoe Post and Rachael McGill each presented their Senior Seminar papers at the Student Religious Studies Conference sponsored by the Midwest Society of Biblical Literature. Post's paper advocated for a married Jesus based on evidence in Scripture and what that would mean for modern sexual ethics. McGill's paper examined the larger significance of the miracle at Cana, Jesus changing the water to wine, and how it demonstrates the process of God uniting with humanity at the end times.

The annual trip to Carbondale, Ill. is up next for the Purple Aces basketball team as they take on Southern Illinois in a 3:05 p.m. game on Saturday at SIU Arena.

Evansville got back on the winning track on Tuesday, grinding out a 73-66 victory over Missouri State. UE posted just three turnovers which was the lowest in the Coach Simmons’ era, besting the six done on four occasions.

D.J. Balentine scored 20 in back-to-back Valley games for the first time this season, posting 20 to go along with three assists and three steals. Adam Wing finished with a season-high 17 points while Jaylon Brown and David Howard registered nine points apiece.

The Aces turned the ball over just three times in the home win over the Bears; it marked the lowest turnover rate in the Coach Simmons era. UE’s three turnovers were the fewest since Missouri State had three in a win over Bradley on March 2, 2013.

Great players overcome adversity and D.J. Balentine has done just that over the last few weeks. A 6-game stretch has seen Balentine average 19 points per game while scoring 20 in back-to-back games for the first time in league play this season; he has also been more selective with his shots, seeing 36 of is 84 find the bottom of the net.

Adam Wing scored a season-high 17 points as UE was able to grind out a 73-66 win over
Missouri State. He was 5-8 from the floor and 7/8 from the free throw line in his 29 minutes of action. Since playing 16 minutes against Wichita State in his return to the floor from injury,
Wing has played better each time out.

Southern Illinois enters Saturday’s tilt with a 10-16 overall mark and are 3-10 over the course of its first 13 Valley contests. All three of their league wins have come at home, including a 65-59 win over Illinois State in their last home contest; their three home league losses have come by a combined total of just 13 points.

Anthony Beane leads the Salukis with 16.3 points per game and checked in with 16 last time out against Loyola. Their leading scorer in Tuesday’s 66-62 loss at Loyola was Deion Lavender, who notched 16; Jordan Caroline posted a double-double as he finished with 14 points and 11 caroms.
 

A great day for the University of Evansville baseball program will take place on Wednesday, February 18 as the new locker room will officially be dedicated.

The $55,000 project saw all of the funds privately raised, including an extremely generous donation courtesy of UE alumnus Ken Maikranz and wife Martha.

Near the end of 2014, the locker room was completely demolished and rebuilt from scratch.  The project consisted of adding custom-made double-sided oak lockers as well as new flooring, tiling, showers, graphics and lights.

For the first time, a sound system and television were placed in the room allowing the team the opportunity to watch film.  The renovation also gives the team a prime place to meet and gather on a regular basis.

Official dedication will take place on the Wednesday, February 18 beginning at 3 p.m.  UE President Dr. Tom Kazee will speak as well as Athletics Director Mark Spencer, head baseball coach Wes Carroll and current player Shain Showers.

The event caps off what has been a great year for the program as it is coming off of a regular season Missouri Valley Conference Championship as well as seeing pitcher Kyle Freeland taken 8th in the 2014 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies.
 

The University of Evansville baseball team will begin the 2015 season with a weekend series at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock on Friday, Feb. 13 at 3:00 p.m. The Purple Aces and Trojans will play three games this weekend at Gary Hogan Field with a Saturday, Feb. 14 game set for 12:00 p.m. and a first pitch on Sunday, Feb. 15 for 1:00 p.m.

This season, the Aces were projected to place fifth in the MVC preseason coach’s poll. Outfielder Kevin Kaczmarski was named to the preseason all-MVC team. Kaczmarski, who was an All-MVC First Team selection each of the last two seasons, was one of three outfielders named to the Preseason All-MVC Team. The Cary, Ill., native led UE with a .315 batting average, .502 slugging percentage, 19 doubles, 50 runs batted in, 110 total bases and eight sacrifice flies.

The Aces return 19 letterwinners from last season’s MVC regular season championship team. Evansville also has seven returning starters from last year’s lineup. UE notably brings back junior outfielder Josh Jyawook who hit .298 as well as shortstop Shain Showers who batted .289 with four home runs and 33 runs batted in. The Aces boast three players who had on-base percentages of over .400 last season including second baseman Brett Synek (.412), Jyawook (.409) and first baseman Eric MKibban (.402).

On the pitching side, UE has nine arms back for another year. Junior right-hander Connor Strain returns to the rotation after a 3-4 season with a 4.21 earned run average. The Aces bullpen features right-hander Brent Jurceka who held a .218 opponent’s batting average while compiling more than a strikeout per inning pitched (1.1).

The Aces have 10 newcomers to the roster this spring from five different states. Pitchers Patrick Schnieders and Brodie Harkness are expected to contend for spots in the UE rotation. Catcher Travis Tokarek looks to step in as the new Evansville backstop.

UALR finished last season 25-29 with an 11-19 mark in the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans return 17 players from last year including six position starters and nine pitchers. Outfielder Tanner Rockwell hit .321 in 2014, second highest on the team. Right-handed pitcher Cameron Allen struck out 49 hitters last year and is back for his senior season.

The Aces will be led on the field by seventh year head coach and UE alum Wes Carroll. The Trojans are coached by Chris Curry in his first season at the helm.

This is the first meeting between UE and UALR since 2012 when the Trojans won two of three games. The Aces won the only other two meetings in 2005.

UE has their first home game at Braun Stadium on Friday, February 27 when they play Oakland as part of a three-game weekend series.

The University of Evansville women’s basketball team (10-12, 5-6) returns home to the Ford Center on Friday night when they host the Southern Illinois Salukis at 2:00 p.m.

The Purple Aces hold a 26-25 lead in the all-time series against SIU. Evansville won the opening matchup this year against the Salukis 63-58 at SIU Arena on Jan. 18. Hart scored a team-high 19 points as guard Dickey and forward Sasha Robinson each tallied 12 points in the road win.

UE is 6-2 at home this season and will look to end a five game losing streak.

The Aces lost a pair of games this past weekend on the road at Loyola and Bradley. Senior guard Kat Taylor scored a game-high 15 points in the last contest, a 56-50 defeat at Bradley on Sunday afternoon.

Dickey enters the game on Friday with 948 points and is just 52 shy of reaching the 1,000 point plateau as a sophomore.

On the stat sheet, Evansville’s Dickey (18.3 points per game), forward Mallory Ladd (15.3) and Hart (10.8) are all averaging double figures. Dickey also has the most assists (59) as Hart has totaled a team-best with 37 steals for UE this year. Ladd is notching a team-high 0.9 blocks per game. Robinson is securing 8.4 rebounds per game, a team-high. UE is averaging 62.9 points and 33.3 rebounds per game. The Aces make 40.5% of their field goals, 35.8% of threes, and 64.1% at the free throw line.

Southern Illinois (13-9, 6-5) has won four consecutive games including a pair of upset wins over Drake and Northern Iowa at home this last weekend. Forward Dyana Pierre was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 21.5 points and 17.5 rebounds in the weekend victories.

Statistically, guard Rishonda Napier (17.2), Pierre (14.9) and forward Azia Washington (10.7) are all averaging double figure points per game this season. Pierre also leads SIU with 11.5 rebounds per game and has the second most blocks on the team with 25. Napier has 60 assists which rank first for the Salukis. Southern Illinois shoots 42.2% from the floor, 33.2% beyond the arc, and 68.5% at the free throw line.

Evansville is projected to finish fourth in the MVC preseason poll, their highest projection since 2008-2009. Southern Illinois was picked ninth in the preseason poll. Dickey and Pierre were both named to the MVC Preseason All-Conference team. The Aces are guided by fourth year head coach Oties Epps. Southern Illinois is led by head coach Cindy Stein in her second season at SIU.
