UE's Jezreel Expedition in Israel has wrapped up its 2019 study season. Six years of excavation (2013-2018) produced some ten tons of ground stone artifacts, flint artifacts, pottery, animal bones, and much more, and Jezreel students and staff members convened at Kibbutz Yizra'el on May 16th to continue analyzing this material for publication. Archaeology majors Maddi Steinsultz and Autumn Koehling spent three weeks sorting, washing, and labeling artifacts and providing invaluable assistance to Jezreel co-directors Jennie Ebeling (UE) and Norma Franklin (University of Haifa), field director Ian Cipin (University of Haifa), and registrar Ann Stehney (Lafayette College) at Kibbutz Yizra'el, adjacent to the site. Although we missed all of our colleagues and friends who have participated in fieldwork in the past, we are very pleased with the progress we made toward the publication of our project this season.

As we announced during insurance open enrollment, the University of Evansville has partnered with pharmacy benefits manager CRX International to offer more than 300 of the most commonly prescribed brand-name drugs to employees and dependents covered by Meritain Health Insurance. These are maintenance medicines for long-term conditions such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, heartburn, arthritis, and diabetes. CRX is a service that connects you with an Australian, British, or Canadian licensed pharmacy that can dispense, at the lowest available price, the same brand-name medicine currently prescribed by your doctor, and arrange for its delivery directly to you. While participation in this program is voluntary, the University is encouraging participation by waiving co-pays for these prescriptions, resulting in significant savings for those employees and dependents who take these drugs.

The Office of Human Resources is pleased to share additional details about our partnership with CRX, which is branded as the “UofE Rx” program and will be administered by CanaRX. UofE Rx is a voluntary program and does not replace your current prescription benefit plans through Meritain Health/CVS Caremark and the Employee Medical Clinic.

You will have the opportunity to enroll in the UofE Rx program with a representative from CanaRx on Tuesday, June 11 from 12 pm to 4 pm and Wednesday, June 12 from 9 am to 12 pm in Eykamp Hall Room 252, which will take place in conjunction with the HRA Health Screenings that will be held at the same location. If you have not scheduled a screening (or your screening next week is not at the same times CanaRX will be on campus), you are welcome to drop by and meet with the representative as they have time. If you are unable to meet with the CanaRx representative next week, they are planning to return to campus in September.

Should you have any questions regarding the UofE Rx program, please call the CanaRx toll free phone number at 1-866-893-6337.

You can also find the following informational flyers on the Office of Human Resources page on the MyUE portal:

• UofE Rx Introduction Flyer
• UofE Rx Enrollment Package (contains the full list of prescription medications available)
