* New Stationery Ordering Process

Marketing and Communications is launching a new stationery ordering system called Marcom on March 5 for placing orders for business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and more. The system will link from the same marketing request form or you can access the Marcom website directly. Once you land on the page, click on “Register New User” and create a username and password.

Once you are granted access, you will then login and create a profile for ordering.

The system is much like any online ordering system, but the new site will allow you to see a proof real-time and immediately approve the design and information. We are hopeful this new system will be a seamless transition and allow for expediting of orders.

If you have questions regarding or would like additional training, please contact Holly Smith at hh98@evansville.edu.

* Off-campus login to library resources being updated

During spring break, the library will update and modernize the login process for off-campus access to library resources. Currently, a user’s last name and a barcode number (added to the campus ID at the Information Desk) are used to provide access. This system will be modernized to use the same login as WebMail and the MyUE Campus Portal. This will make online access more convenient for all library users and will eliminate the need to barcode campus IDs to enable off-campus access.

For on-campus access to database resources, nothing will change. (Our “campus” consists of the main campus, Stone Family Center for Health Sciences, and the Harlaxton campus, all of which are currently provided access using campus network IP ranges that the library provides to database vendors.

Beginning next week (at the latest March 11), when off-campus users select a database on the

Databases by Name page (https://www.evansville.edu/libraries/databasesByName.cfm)

Or Databases by Subject page (https://www.evansville.edu/libraries/databasesBySubject.cfm)

they will be prompted to login using the new method.

Reminder: only current students, faculty, and staff may access the library’s licensed resources from off-campus and remote locations due to contractual “Terms of Use.”

The library wishes to express its thanks to OTS staff who assisted with the project by creating a process which will allow this enhanced form of access to function--Bob Szurgot, Robert Birkle, and Josh Norrick.

If you have questions or need help as the transition progresses, please email library@evansville.edu.

UE is pleased to report stellar outcomes for 2021 graduates:

  • 95 percent were employed or pursuing further education within six months of graduation

Survey information was collected from 93 percent of graduates. This is an annual, collaborative effort between the Center for Career Development, Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, and academic departments.

Athletics

* Abby Feit named to MVC Scholar-Athlete Second Team

For the second time in her career, University of Evansville women's basketball's Abby Feit has been recognized by the Missouri Valley Conference for her academic efforts, this time earning a spot on the conference's scholar-athlete second team, it was announced in a release from the conference office on Tuesday morning.

A clinical laboratory science major, Feit holds a 3.61 GPA and was recognized as an honorable mention scholar-athlete selection a year ago. Feit also got the job done on the court this season, where she finished fifth in the conference in scoring average, pouring-in 14.8 points per game, and second in rebounding, finishing the season just shy of averaging a double-double with 8.9 boards per contest.

The criteria for the scholar-athlete team balloting parallels the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) standards for the Academic All-America voting. Nominees must be starters or important reserves, have played at least 75-percent of a team's games, and must carry at least a 3.30 GPA (on a 4.0 scale).
   
Student-athletes must also have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at their institution (true and redshirt freshmen are not eligible) and must have completed at least one full academic year at the institution.

A total of 33 Valley student-athletes met the nomination criteria for scholar-athlete honors in 2022.

 
* Craig, Gray help Aces sweep MVC weekly awards

After a pair of impressive weeks, University of Evansville baseball seniors Tanner Craig and Shane Gray have been named Missouri Valley Conference Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, it was announced in a release from the conference office.

More of the norm than not, Craig put on a show last week at the plate. On the week in four games, Craig hit well for average, finish 9-for-20 on the weekend with a .450 batting average, while blasting four home runs, including three in one day in Saturday's doubleheader against Ohio and UIC. Craig also tallied 10 RBIs on the week, helping the Aces pick up a pair of wins. The senior now leads the Aces in average, hitting .319 on the season.

Continuing to produce impressive performances on the mound, Gray was lights out for the Aces on Friday night. Facing UIC, Gray lasted 6.2 innings, allowing two runs and striking-out 10 batters in the 4-2 win. Gray's 19 strikeouts on the season are third-most in the MVC.

The honor is the third in the career of both Craig and Gray and the first that either member of the duo has earned in 2022.

Evansville returns to the field on Wednesday with a midweek matchup at Belmont before traveling to New Orleans, La. for a three-game set with Tulane this weekend.
