Since learning about the positive COVID-19 test result, effective immediately Mail and Package Pick-up is changing to a Scheduled Appointment Pick-up basis only.

During this time of great uncertainty, we find comfort in staying connected with our communities. Because of that, we are moving forward with Pep and Vim, UE’s annual day of giving, on Friday, April 17.

The impact of the coronavirus has been felt all around the world, and the University of Evansville is no exception. Our administration has developed policies around keeping our students safe and ensuring the safety of our faculty and staff. These policies come at a cost, both known and unknown.

If you can give, please do. Every gift, no matter the size, counts toward our goal of 1,854 gifts to unlock the Alumni Board’s gift of $25,000. When making a gift, please select UE’s area of greatest need (unrestricted). Trust the University to use the funds where they are needed most.

So, on Pep and Vim, Friday, April 17, stay in your places with the Aces and share that UE purple spirit!
