* UE to Host Post-show Discussion on Race and Representation in the Arts Following the Performance of Musical VIOLET

• The musical VIOLET begins tonight at 7:30 p.m in UE's Shanklin Theatre.
• Post-show discussion begins after the show at approximately 9:15 p.m. in Shanklin Theater.

The Tony-nominated musical VIOLET is the story of a devout young woman who embarks upon a cross-country quest in hopes of finding a miracle to heal her facial disfigurement. Set against the backdrop of America's Civil Rights Act of 1964, Violet's reflections on her own childhood are intertwined with the invaluable lessons she learns from those she meets along the way on her life-changing pilgrimage. This heart-stirring musical soars with emotion and features a lively score heavily flavored with country, gospel, blues, and honky-tonk rock.

Dr. Rob Shelby, UE's Chief Diversity Officer, will moderate discussions on the topic of "Race and Representation in the Arts" after the show concludes. The post-show discussion is open to the public, and a ticket to that evening's performance is not required for admission.

* Andiron Lecture March 4, 2020 by Roberta Heiman (Votes for Women - and Then What)

Roberta Heiman’s career in journalism spanned 42 years, most of it in Evansville. Her work as an investigative reporter won state and national awards for shedding light on community issues as varied as air pollution and jail overcrowding, the failed child welfare system and medical malpractice.   In retirement she has tackled another issue – the fact that women’s contributions to our community have been left out of local history books, which of course, were written by men.  She was instrumental in creating “Herstory,” a play about women in 20th Century Evansville, and she has written extensively about Albion Fellows Bacon, Dr. Stella Boyd and other local heroines in history (including women in UE’s history.) In addition, she resurrected the Southwestern Indiana League of Women Voters, which had disbanded in the 1990s, and she was among the founders of Women Stepping Up, which encourages and helps prepare women to seek elective office and be active civically. In 2013 she was a recipient of the Torchbearer Award by the Indiana Commission for Women.  She attended Purdue University. 

Much has been written about the beginning and end of the women’s suffrage movement – the historic Seneca Falls convention in 1848 and the dramatic ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920.  But we know little about the seven decades in between, when the battle for the right to vote was fought by women across the country, in hometowns like Evansville and Newburgh where the idea was radical, indeed. Who were the local suffragists?  What did they do, and how did the community respond?  Local history books make almost no mention of them.   To find the answers, retired journalist Roberta Heiman searched through 150 years of Evansville newspapers to uncover the story in time for 2020, the 100th anniversary of “the biggest expansion of democracy in United States history.” 


The lecture begins at 4:00 p.m.
Wednesday, March 4, 2020
Eykamp Hall (Room 252), Ridgway University Center
A social gathering with beverages begins at 3:45 p.m.

* Plisky Presents Research at APTA Meeting

Dr. Phil Plisky, associate professor and sports residency program director, gave two research presentations this month at the 2020 APTA Combined Sections meeting in Denver. The presentations included the extensive research that Dr. Kyle Kiesel and he have conducted in a multi-year, prospective injury prediction study with the military. Dr. Plisky presented the findings that 44% of soldiers who returned to full duty have pain with the simple top tier movement patterns of the SFMA and 70% of the soldiers had 5 or more risk factors for future injury (making them 2-10 times at greater risk of injury). The clinical bottom line is that physical therapists need to not only treat the condition, but check and attempt to correct other musculoskeletal risk factors regardless if they relate to the original injury.

* NATE and Tower Family Foundation Announce the 2020 Recipient of the Ernie Jones Memorial Civil Engineering Scholarship

University of Evansville Civil Engineering Scholarship is Funded Annually by NATE; Honors Jones’ Legacy as a Structural Engineer, Industry Icon

(Raleigh, North Carolina) - NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association and Tower Family Foundation today jointly announced that Elijah Sullivan, a junior civil engineering student from Evansville, Indiana has been named as the 2020 recipient of the Ernie Jones Memorial Civil Engineering Scholarship at the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. The official announcement was made at the NATE Awards & Sponsor Recognition Luncheon on Wednesday, February 19 during the annual NATE UNITE 2020 Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Elijah is at the top of his class academically but especially excels in his major courses related to construction and UE’s structural analysis and design sequences. In addition to his civil engineering major, Elijah is now pursuing minors in both Mathematics and Engineering Management with an anticipated graduation date of May 2021. Ever curious about the way things work, Elijah has participated in the University of Evansville’s steel bridge project, and has been involved with the Aces Concrete Canoe team since his sophomore year. Most recently, he interned with the Indiana Department of Transportation's (INDOT) bridge inspection unit in the summer of 2019. For the summer of 2020, Elijah is actively seeking to obtain a structural design internship.

“Elijah is a dedicated student who demonstrates an eagerness to learn as much as possible about structural design and construction,” stated Dr. James Allen, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Evansville. “In my structural analysis and design classes I can always count on Elijah to ask insightful questions that lead to an increased understanding by not only himself, but also his classmates. He has a unique ability to frame his questions in a way that leads to deeper discussions of practical design and construction issues. We think this diligence and continuous pursuit for deeper understanding of the behavior of his designs embodies the spirit of Ernie Jones as the recipient of his named memorial scholarship,” added Dr. Allen.

Ernie Jones was a structural engineer who worked in the broadcast tower industry for 30 years. During his career, Mr. Jones served as a Professional Engineer and President of Consolidated Engineering, Inc. and as Vice-President of Structural Engineering at Electronics Research, Inc. Ernie was also a participating member of the TR-14.7 Committee of the Telecommunications Industry Association and Electronics Industry Association since 1986 where he assisted with writing and approving the ANSI-TIA/EIA 222 Standard which is the American National Standard for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures.

The Ernie Jones Memorial Civil Engineering Scholarship awards a $2,500 NATE-funded scholarship annually to a junior or senior level civil engineering student at the University of Evansville’s College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Congratulations

* Nikolidakis Wins Short Story Contest

Congratulations to Creative Writing's Dr. Nik... whose short story, "With Mercy to the Stars," took first place in the Lamar York Prize at The Chattahoochee Review.

Judge Anthony Varallo had this to say about the story: "A wonderful and surprising coming-of-age story about two Greek teenage girls, an unwanted pregnancy, and a dancing bear named Callisto. I was totally drawn in from the first page, happy to be in the company of a young narrator who is just starting to glimpse the limitations of the adulthood that awaits her, as confining as the cage that houses her father’s prized bear. The story forces the narrator to make a choice that will have ramifications for her, her best friend, and her family—and fully initiate her into the world of choice and consequence. A powerful story that is a pleasure to read from the opening sentence to the harrowing last line."

* Newton Sets Career Scoring Mark at UNI

University of Evansville sophomore Jawaun Newton scored a career-high 13 points to lead the Purple Acers in an 84-64 loss to UNI on Wednesday inside the McLeod Center.

Newton hit six of his ten attempts on the night for UE (9-21, 0-17 MVC).  Evan Kuhlman also recorded 13 points.  He knocked down three triples.  Sam Cunliffe chipped in nine points.  Newton was the leading rebounder for Evansville, posting five caroms.

“I think that this group has been very in tune and have picked up things as easy as any group I have been around,” Aces head coach Todd Lickliter said.  “We have not been able to spend as much time on our own team when we are taking on the type of Valley teams we play in each game.  UNI makes you pay for any mistakes you make; they are such a well-balanced team.”

“They have a great balance, every time we clawed back into the game, they made a big play.”

A 6-for-7 start saw UNI (24-5, 13-4 MVC) take an 14-8 lead five minutes into the contest.  After missing their initial 3-pointer of the game, the Panthers hit two in a row.  Evansville fought back with four in a row including a three-point play by Jawaun Newton.  K.J. Riley led a comeback that saw Evansville tie the score at 19-19.  His 3-pointer cut the deficit to one before a pair of free throws tied the game with just under 12 minutes left in the first half.

UNI countered with a 7-0 stretch while holding the Aces scoreless for over three minutes.  Shamar Givance put UE back on the board with a layup.  Trailing by nine with 6:11 on the clock, Evansville picked up back-to-back triples courtesy of Sam Cunliffe and Evan Kuhlman to get back within six at 37-31, but the Panthers controlled the remainder of the half. 

A 9-2 run sent UNI to the half with a game-high 46-33 lead.  They shot 64% in the first half while controlling the free throw line, hitting nine out of 11 tries.  Newton paced the Aces with nine tallies in the opening half, hitting four of his five shots.

A basket on their initial possession of the second half pushed the Panther lead to 15 before DeAndre Williams got the Aces on the board with his first triple since his return from injury.  His triple was part of a 13-4 run that got Evansville within two possessions at 52-46 with 15 minutes remaining.  Kuhlman drained consecutive triples in the rally.

The hot-shooting Panther squad kept the pressure on, extending their lead back to double figures – 58-48 – at the 12-minute mark.  What turned into a 10-0 run gave the Panthers their largest lead of 64-48 with the second half reaching its midway point.  Two Givance free throws ended the run; Evansville missed six field goals in a row while turning it over once.  UNI hit four out of five shots on the way to the 16-point lead.

Over the final moments, the Panthers led by as many as 23 points before wrapping up the evening with the 84-64 victory.  AJ Green was one of five double figure scorers for UNI, scoring 21.  Trae Berhow added 16.  UNI had a 30-21 rebounding edge on the night while shooting 62.7%.  UE shot 43.4%. 

Senior Day is set for Saturday’s regular season finale.  UE welcomes Illinois State to the Ford Center for a 1 p.m. game with senior K.J. Riley being recognized at his final home contest.
