The Evansville Police Department will be conducting an unannounced Active Shooter Drill some time during the fall semester. We will be focusing on the “Run” aspect of Run, Hide, Fight. All members of the campus community are expected to participate in the drill. Note: no simulated gun-fire will be used. The drill will commence via Ace Alert and the Active Threat Siren notification system. DURING THE DRILL, PLEASE DO NOT MOVE VEHICLES AND DO NOT CALL 911.

When responding to the upcoming active shooter drill, we will focus on the "RUN" portion of RUN, HIDE, FIGHT. When running, please stay within the "campus block" ( i.e. don’t cross Lincoln, Walnut, Weinbach, Rotherwood) or proceed to safest distance.

How is campus notified of an active shooter?
A special siren (Listen to the siren) will sound if there is an active threat on the campus. Specific information will be relayed via Ace Alerts text messaging, email, and on-campus computer and phone stations. 

RUN, HIDE, FIGHT
Unless there are specific instructions to Shelter in Place, each individual should determine for themselves if they should Run, Hide, or Fight. This decision should be made after considering the information available at the time. Note: for this drill, practice Run only. 

• RUN – If you believe you can safely run away from the danger, law enforcement believes this is the best option.
• HIDE – If you cannot run away from the danger, law enforcement encourages individuals to hide from the threat.  If a door can be locked, lock the door.  If not, consider if there is another way to create a barricade.
• FIGHT – If running away or hiding is not an option and the threat is inevitable – don’t give up.  Fight.  Look for make-shift weapons.  What can be thrown at the threat that can cause them to become disoriented and disarmed?

The Best Preparation
The best preparation is to always consider what options are available given your current location. Where are the exits? 

Additional information can be obtained from the Safety and Security website.

Founder and CEO of the Empowerment Plan, Veronika Scott, will be the guest speaker for the University of Evansville’s Patricia H. Snyder Lecture in October. The lecture is planned for Tuesday, October 29, at 7:00 p.m., in Eykamp Hall, Ridgway University Center, on UE’s campus. The event is free and open to the public thanks to the generosity of the Snyder family.

Empowerment Plan is an organization centered around the idea of a specialized coat being made for homeless people. The multipurpose coat is waterproof and self-heated, and can be transformed into a sleeping bag. In addition to the coat initiative, the organization provides jobs for homeless women, allowing them to get back on their feet and find a place to live. These efforts have garnered Scott some recognition, and she was named a “CNN Hero” by the network in 2016.

“Changemaking is engrained in the culture at the University of Evansville, and Veronika Scott’s work directly fits into that mindset,” said Abigail Werling, UE’s vice president for university advancement. “We encourage and empower our students here to make powerful and enduring change, and this story will be an inspiration toward those efforts.”

The Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series was made possible in 1997 through an endowment from the late Patricia H. Snyder, trustee and longtime friend of the University, to bring speakers or performers of renown to Evansville at no cost to the public.

Margaret McMullan is the author of eight award-winning books including the novel In My Mother’s House and the anthology Every Father’s Daughter. Her work has appeared in USA Today, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, among others. She received a NEA Fellowship and a Fulbright in Hungary to research her new book, Where The Angels Lived: One Family’s Story of Loss, Exile, and Return.

Historical, authentic and family-oriented, WHERE THE ANGELS LIVED tells the tale of a somewhat parallel universe that exists even in the 21st century—dealings with Soviet-style bureaucracy; skepticism; anti-Semitism; and ironically the same sort of isolation and rejection Margaret McMullan’s Jewish Hungarian family experienced in 1944 before they were forced into concentration camps. Straddling memoir and reportage, past and present, this story reminds us all that we can escape a country, but we can never escape history. She taught at the University of Evansville for 25 years, serving as chair of the Department of English, and she helped form the Department of Creative Writing. She was formerly the Melvin Peterson Endowed Chair in Literature and Creative Writing until she retired in 2015 to write full time.

The Scholar program at UE’s Institute for Public Health provides a supportive infrastructure for meaningful physical and virtual collaborative exchanges. A critical part of the program’s success is not relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. We are committed to a portfolio of strategies to suit scholars from across the university and community in various disciplines, at different stages in their careers, and with distinctive pathways toward success. We want to work with scholars to spark productive collaborations, remove barriers to collaboration, and make it easier for scholars to broaden their networks for their public health research, practice, advocacy, and teaching activities. Scholars should be interested in collaborating with other disciplines to help expand their own areas, refine research questions, enhance development of public health interventions, improve practice delivery, enrich teaching, etc. Scholars will be awarded $750 to support their proposed project and will be required to present their work at the Fall 2020 Institute for Public Health Board Meeting. Faculty and students are encouraged to apply. One faculty and one student will be chosen.

If you would like to apply or would like more information, please contact Payal Patel-Dovlatabadi at pp42@evansville.edu. The deadline to apply is November 15.

If you are interested in becoming a scholar, please contact Payal Patel-Dovlatabadi at pp42@evansville.edu for more information.

The?Digital?Sherpa?Program aims to help cancer patients (mainly 65 and older) and their families become more tech-savvy. The program’s workshops educate patients and care partners in basic internet and social media skills to help them in their search for information about their illness and support for them and their families.?

Cancer patients, known as “Climbers” in the program, are paired with university students, known as “Sherpas”, who have been specially trained by the Patient Empowerment Network to offer skills such as:
Internet use (such as opening an email account, navigating Google, and creating and remembering passwords)
Social media skills (including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram)
Creating virtual connections with other cancer patients via on-line patient support communities
How to use apps such as Uber and other ride-share services to get to appointments

By producing this program PEN and CSC want to show what can be done to help?cancer?patients and their families become more tech-savvy, educated, self-confident and in control of their cancer journey. By pairing?digital?natives (you!) with the older generation, we hope to create an empathetic and powerful relationship that is an asset to any community.?

Redshirt senior Gabriela Macedo recorded a University of Evansville program record 43 digs on Friday evening in a 3-1 road loss to Indiana State.

Today marked the second time Macedo has set the Purple Aces mark this season.  She recorded 41 in a win over Eastern Illinois in September.  Macedo’s 43 digs is the third-highest total in a 4-set match in the NCAA in 2019 and is tied for the 4th-highest total in Missouri Valley Conference history.

Melanie Feliciano led the offense with 19 kills while Alondra Vazquez and Rachel Tam posted 17 and 12, respectively.  Allana McInnis added 40 assists.  Indiana State saw five players record double figure kills, led by Cassie Kawa’s total of 11.  Melina Tedrow had a strong defensive night of her own, finishing with 44 digs.

Indiana State set the tone early on, jumping out to a 14-7 lead in game one.  The Aces roared back when Alondra Vazquez had consecutive kills that cut the deficit to just one – 17-16.  ISU was able to record the next point before hanging on for a 25-22 decision.

UE regained its edge in game two, taking an early 5-3 lead on a Hannah Watkins kill.  ISU rallied back to tie it up at 7-7 before taking a 16-15 lead.  With the score knotted at 17-17, Tam and Vazquez combined for three kills in a row that put UE back in the lead as they would the match, winning by a final of 25-23.  The Sycamores tied the set at 23-23, but a Feliciano kill.

Evansville took another lead in the opening moments of the third frame, going up by a 5-3 tally.  Indiana State pushed back with four in a row before extending their lead to eight points at 18-10.  From there, they would cruse to a 25-20 victory and a 2-1 lead in the match.  They clinched the 3-1 match win with a 25-21 win in the fourth set.  ISU went up by a 14-10 score before the Aces rallied back.  Allana McInnis posted an ace that tied the game at 16-16.  The Sycamores responded with three in a row, but the Aces did the same to tie it up at 19-all.  Unfortunately, the Sycamores proved to be too much as they scored the final four points, winning by a 25-21 score to win the match.

Next weekend, the Aces remain on the road at Southern Illinois on Friday night before taking on Missouri State on Saturday.

The University of Evansville men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams picked up a pair of team wins at home, Saturday afternoon against Eastern Illinois.

The women’s team took the win 162-70, while the men won 121-79. The two winning scores mark the first two home wins for first year head coach Stu Wilson.

Highlighting the meet was a pool record by Sarah Jahns in the 200-yard backstroke. Jahns first place finish, 2:04.53 was almost two seconds faster than the previous record set back in 2013. Jahns also added a second place finish in the 200-yard freestyle with a 2:00.51 time.

Winning three events during the event was Paul Cozzens. The senior took first in the 200-yard IM (1:59.33), the 200-yard butterfly (1:57.34) and in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:13.87).
