The Walnut St. improvement project has been completed. The updated traffic plan is designed to reduce vehicle speeds and increase pedestrian safety. A major change has been the removal of all parking on Walnut St. between Weinbach Ave. and Rotherwood Ave. The removal of authorized parking applies to all vehicles, regardless of the length of time or reason for stopping in the prohibited areas.

Despite the posted “No Parking” signs, drivers are still parking on Walnut St. Vehicles that are illegally parked on Walnut St. create blind spots for motorists and pedestrians. These blind spots create an unsafe environment for our community members. The decision to illegally park in this area can lead to preventable incidents and injuries. Please respect the health and safety of your classmates and co-workers and park only in authorized areas. If you need a temporary parking permit to access on-campus parking areas, contact the office of Public Safety at 488-2051. A temporary parking permit will be issued at no cost.

It is important to note the enforcement of parking regulations on city streets is handled by the Evansville Police Department. Although tickets issued by the EPD cannot be appealed through the Office of Public Safety, we are committed to promoting compliance with the city parking regulations as part of our overall efforts to keep our campus community safe.

As fall approaches slips, trips, and falls are a major cause of injury that occurs to both visitors and employees. They can occur in any business, but are of particular concern to businesses with considerable public and employee foot traffic such as those in retail, higher education, medical, and service industries.

What can you do to make a positive impact?

1) Be aware of your immediate surroundings
2) Wear comfortable, properly fitting non-slip shoes
3) Be aware of the type of surface you are walking on and its condition
4) Adjust to environmental and walking surface conditions
5) Pay attention to “Wet Floor” warning signs to warn of known hazards
6) Practice Good Housekeeping
7) Keep walkways and hallways free of debris, clutter and obstacles
8) Only carry items that allow you to see clearly where you are going
9) Use handrails when going up or down stairs and not skip steps
10) Eliminate or minimize distractions while walking, such as looking at your cell phone

Report unsafe conditions to Office of Public Safety at 812-488-2051.

As you might know, Harlaxton College is experiencing an extremely high demand for placement on the Spring 2022 program and as such, we are operating a waitlist for the Spring 2022 semester. Because of this unprecedented demand, Harlaxton would like to kindly remind accepted students that their deposit deadline is on September 13. Students who have not paid their deposit by the deposit deadline will be removed from the program in order to accommodate students on the waitlist. Students may contact Student Financial Services to pay their deposits.

If you are no longer planning on going to Harlaxton next spring, please let us know so that we can move students off the waitlist. Additionally, if you can study in the Fall 2022 semester, we encourage you to defer your application if possible. You can view courses for the Fall 2022 term on our website here: https://harlaxton.evansville.edu/accepted/downloads/fall2022/Fall2022-Course-Descriptions.pdf

If you need to change your term, update us on your plans, or ask a question, please email Victoria Radford (vr35@evansville.edu).

With three home meets this season, the University of Evansville men's and women's cross country teams will become even more familiar with the course at Angle Mounds, beginning with the Evansville Opener on Friday evening.

The men's 5k will begin action on the course on Friday at 5 PM with the women's 8k following. In all, Evansville has assembled an impressive field for its first meet of the season, welcoming in Ohio State, Marquette, Indiana State, Brescia, Kentucky Wesleyan, Oakland City, and Vincennes on Friday.

Many teams are utilizing the opportunity to come down and test run the course before November's NCAA Midwest Regional takes place on the same course.

A shortened 2020-21 cross country campaign due to the COVID-19 pandemic meant that the Aces competed in just three events last season; the Belmont Opener, the Murray State Open, and the Missouri Valley Conference Championships. Evansville was led by senior Anna Lowry on the women's side, who continued her improbable run, winning her fifth and sixth straight individual medals in regular season meets.

On the men's side, two of Evansville's top runners from a year ago are back for the fall with J.J. Pedersen and Peter Ekayi Ekpur returning to the fold. Finishing within 14 seconds of one another at the Belmont Opener, Epur gained a season-best finish of 14th at the Murray State Open last season, while Pedersen brought home a 22nd-place finish.

Friday's Evansville Opener will be open to the public and admission to Angel Mounds State Historic Site is $5 for all fans.

A first half goal from Kristen Harvey and a dominant effort in goal from Michaela Till helped the University of Evansville women's soccer team earn its best start in program history with a 1-0 win over SEMO on Thursday evening at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

Till finished the night with the 14th shutout of her career, making five saves, and keeping the Aces record unblemished on the year. Offensively, Harvey propelled Evansville, recording a team-high three shots, putting a pair on goal, and scoring her first career goal in the 25th minute.

SEMO were the aggresors early in the match, recording three shots inside the first seven minutes of the match. Evansville responded well, as the Aces put two shots on frame to follow with Harvey testing the Redhawk keeper in the 10th minute and senior Emily Ormson put another shot on goal just a minute later.

The 22nd minute saw the best opportunity to that point for the Aces as a corner was whipped in by Nicole Benati. Emilie Hill found the end of the cross, heading it towards goal, but just missing high.

Evansville capitalized on their early momentum just two minutes later when UE earned another corner. This time it was Alex Eyler who stood over it, sending in a ball that ricocheted off of Hill and landed in front of Harvey, who finished to the right of the keeper to put the Aces in front.

In all, the two teams combined for 11 shots in the opening half with a near even split (SEMO 6, Evansville 5), but the Aces put four on goal with the Redhawks failing to put any on frame.

The Redhawks again started a half aggressively in the first handful of minutes of the second half, recording four quick shots in the first eight minutes, including three on goal. In the 62nd minute, the Aces nearly doubled their lead as Ormson found the ball at her feet inside the box and released a quick shot on goal that SEMO was forced to quickly handle.

Despite creating a bevy of chances early, SEMO was held from creating much of an opportunity late in the match as Evansville's defense continued to demonstrate its strength, holding on to a one-goal lead for its fourth-straight win.

Evansville goes back on the road this weekend with a Sunday showdown at Northern Kentucky at Noon in Highland Heights, Ky.

Looking to build on the success from opening weekend, the University of Evansville volleyball team has its sights set on the Eagles Challenge.  Hosted by Morehead State, the Eagle Challenge will take place on Friday and Saturday and will see UE face the Eagles, Radford and Cleveland State.  The Eagles are coming off of a 17-2 campaign in the spring that saw them win their first-ever NCAA Tournament match.

Clean Sweep
- In the season-opening Purdue Fort Wayne Invitational, the Aces earned a trio of 3-0 victories against SIU Edwardsville, Kent State and PFW

- Averaging 5.56 kills per set, Alondra Vazquez was named the Most Valuable Player while Taya Haffner and Melanie Feliciano earned All-Tournament accolades

Freshman of the Week
- A case could be made that Taya Haffner had a perfect week to open her college career
- The Fort Wayne, Ind. native played her first three college matches in her home town  and performed exceptionally, averaging 12.33 assists per set along with an average of 3.00 digs
- She was named to the PFW Invitational All-Tournament Team before being named the MVC Freshman of the Week on Aug. 30
- Haffner’s assist average paces the Valley and ranks fifth in the country while her dig average is in the top 15 in the league

Strong Start
- Giulia Cardona had an extraordinary start to her Evansville career, wrapping up the PFW Invitational with a mark of 4.44 kills per set
- The freshman ranks second in the MVC and 21st in the nation while her hitting was also efficient, finishing over .200
- After opening the season with 11 kills against SIUE, Cardona added nine against Kent State before racking up 20 in the finale versus the Mastodons
- Cardona also contributed on the defensive end, recording 2.67 digs per game

Early Season Accolade
- A strong all-around effort to open the fall saw Melanie Feliciano earn a spot on the PFW Invitational All-Tournament Team
- Feliciano finished the weekend with 2.78 kills/frame while sitting in a tie for the team lead with an average of 3.00 digs
- An efficient weekend saw her total at least eight kills and seven digs in each match
- In the spring, she finished fourth in the MVC with 3.89 kills/set with her season mark of 25 coming at Missouri State; she averaged 3.19 digs over the course of the spring season
