On February 24, the Coronavirus Healthcare Task Force announced that restrictions for outdoor events would be lifted, including the requirement of capacity limits/attendance maximums and social distancing. Effective Monday, March 21, the University will also lift restrictions for indoor events. This means that attendance will no longer be limited for any indoor event, regardless of whether the space has fixed or moveable seating. Events will no longer need approval from the Coronavirus Task Force. 

The University of Evansville Theatre closes their spring 2022 season with Will Arbery’s HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING. A 2020 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Drama, this haunting play is a meticulously crafted story centering on four alumni of a conservative college whose reunion spirals into chaos over spirituality, politics, and a nearly fanatical desire to be understood. This production opens on Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m., in Shanklin Theatre. Additional performances are 7:30 p.m. on April 9, 21, 22, 23, and at 2:00 p.m., on April 24.

HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING is guest-directed by Dylan Frederick, a 2014 alumnus of UE. Joy Weidenhamer, a senior theatre studies major from Omaha, Neb., serves as the associate director; Robert Tintoc, a 2006 alumnus, serves as the guest scenic designer; Assistant Professor Sarah J. Smith is the costume designer; Associate Professor Stephen Boulmetis is the lighting designer; Araceli Ramirez serves as the guest sound designer; Professor Diane Brewer is the dramaturg; Moira Cassiday, a senior stage management major from Nashville, Ind., is the stage manager, and Assistant Professor Mitchell L. Critel serves as the technical director.

The cast features Delaney Ross, a first-year performance major from Keller, Texas as Emily; Gabriel Smothers, a junior performance major from Casper, Wyo., as Kevin; Becky Rusch, a senior performance major from Newark, Del., as Teresa; McAllister Reed Stowell, a junior performance major from Lakewood, Colo., as Justin; and Delanie Kitzman, a senior performance major from Tomball, Texas, as Gina.

In following industry standards, as established by the Broadway League, all audience members must show proof of COVID–19 vaccination or a negative test result, taken within 48-hours of the date on their ticket, and remain masked during the performance. It is our hope that these restrictions will allow our student actors to safely perform unmasked.

UE students may obtain one free student rush ticket beginning at 12 p.m. on the day of the performance they wish to attend.

Hello everyone! As some of you may know, the CDEI in collaboration with SAB is holding a Prom on April 1st, 2022! This collaboration came together as restrictions are lessening and we realized many of our students were not able to attend an actual in-person, high school Prom! So, we decided to throw one for all students!

Prom will be held on April 1st in Eykamp Hall from 8:00pm- 11:30pm! Following Prom we will be shuttling students to Bob Walthers, where we have rented the space from 12:00am- 3:00am! Students will have access to inside and outside mini-golf, karaoke, bingo, mini-bowling, laser tag, and so much more!

Since this is a Prom for our students, I want to keep student volunteers at a minimum if not a complete zero for the night of and that means I need employee volunteers! Volunteer needs are listed below!

Prom 8-11:30pm

Bartenders (we will have a mocktail bar with sparkling juice, soda and water)

Photo Booth Attendants (we will have two photo drops with Ipad stations for photos)

Check-In Attendants (will need ticket/ guest list checkers)

Security (we will need additional people to check/ be stationed at specific doors to ensure no one is sneaking in or bringing any beverages into Prom)

Bob Walthers 12-3:00am

Shuttle Ticket Checkers (we will need individuals at UE checking tickets before students board the shuttle to ensure they have an actual ticket to attend Bob Walthers after party)

Bob Walthers Ticket Checkers (we will need individuals stationed at Bob Walther's checking tickets from people who may be electing to drive themselves over and not taking the shuttle)

Karaoke Attendant/ MC (we will be purchasing/ renting a Karaoke Machine and running Karaoke ourselves, and need individuals willing to help MC/ run this fun activity)

Food Attendants (in addition to Bob Walther's cafe being open, we will be purchasing and bringing in pizza and beverages and will need individuals willing to help set-up and monitor food rooms)

If you are interested, able and willing to volunteer for Prom, please reach out by email Abagail Catania at ac532@evansville.edu and indicate which (if any) specific volunteer opportunities you are interested in!

Thank you in advance! I know our students are really excited about this night! :)

On June 23, 1972, Title IX of the education amendments was enacted into law. This important piece of legislation has now supported gender equity for 50 years. During the month of March, which is also Women's History Month, UE will share Mythbuster Mondays to bring greater awareness to Title IX and both its purpose and benefits.

Myth: According to Title IX, all educational activities and programs must be co-ed and open to both men and women.

Fact:  Title IX specifically allows for, or has been interpreted to allow for, single-sex programs in a number of categories. Included among those are: religious schools, traditional men’s/women’s colleges, social fraternities/sororities, youth service organizations such as the Boy/Girl Scouts of America, and beauty pageants.

With the anticipated rain in the forecast for Tuesday, the University of Evansville softball team has canceled its doubleheader that was set to take place against Tennessee Tech.

No make-up date has been announced at this time, however, the teams will work to make the games up if there is a window later in the season.

Evansville will be back at Cooper Stadium this weekend, welcoming UNI for a 3-game set with a noon doubleheader getting things started on Saturday.

An exciting day of action at Cooper Stadium saw the University of Evansville softball team sweep Drake to clinch the first Missouri Valley Conference series of the season. 

UE (17-8, 2-1 MVC) defeated the Bulldogs (6-15, 1-2 MVC) by finals of 5-3 and 12-3.  Over the course of the doubleheader, Haley Woolf had three hits, two runs and two RBI while Mackenzie McFeron registered four RBI in the two games.  Jenna Lis and Jessica Fehr picked up three hits and three RBI apiece.

Game One – UE 5, Drake 3
Just as they did in Saturdays series opener, Drake came out swinging, scoring twice in the first inning.  Jessica Fehr picked up the Aces first hit of the day to lead off the game and Evansville would have runners on second and third with one out before a pair of strikeouts ended the threat.

Two innings later, the Aces would cash in.  Fehr doubled to center field for her second hit of the day.  Following two quick outs, Jenna Lis came to the plate and delivered her first home run of the season to tie the game.  Alexa Davis made it back-to-back, picking up her second dinger of the year to put the Aces on top, 3-2.  Lis came up big in the top of the fourth, throwing baserunner out at second on a stolen base attempt.

Paige Bedsworth singled up the middle to score the tying run in the top of the fifth and it would remain that way until the sixth when the Aces retook control.  Haley Woolf led off with a pinch hit single before Hannah Hood returned to run.  After stealing second, Hood crossed the plate on a triple to deep center field from Mackenzie McFeron.  McFeron made it a 5-3 game when she scored on a sacrifice fly by Fehr.

Sydney Weatherford got the job done in the seventh to cement her fourth win of the season.  Her third consecutive complete game saw her allow three runs on five hits.  After the first inning, she gave up just one run.  Evansville finished with seven hits as Fehr and McFeron recorded two apiece.

Game Two – UE 12, Drake 3
Jessica Fehr followed up her 2-hit performance in game one with a quick strike in the finale.  With Haley Woolf and Zoe Frossard on second and third with two outs, Fehr belted a single to score both and give Evansville a 2-0 advantage. 

Four more runs crossed the plate in the third.  Woolf hit a 2-RBI double to deep left field to plate Sydney Weatherford and Alexa Davis.  Woolf came home on a single to left by Hannah Hood for the fifth run before Hood scored on an error to extend the advantage to 6-0.  In the fourth, the Bulldogs got two of those runs back when Delaney Taylor homered to left.

Davis singled in the fourth to score Marah Wood, marking the third frame in a row that the Aces were on the board.  Never giving up, the Bulldogs did their best to claw back.  Haylee Lehman recorded the second long ball of the game to lead off the fifth, but the Aces were not going to be denied.  A 5-run sixth inning capped off the 12-3 win.  McFeron finished the day in walk-off style, hitting a 3-run double to clinch the win.  Evansville had 12 hits in the game with Woolf, Wood, Lis and Alyssa Barela picking up two apiece.  Izzy Vetter scattered six hits and three runs in six innings of work on the way to win #12 of the season.

On Tuesday, the Aces are set to face Tennessee Tech in a 2 p.m. doubleheader at Cooper Stadium.

The University of Evansville softball team will play a revised schedule this weekend in the conference-opening series against Drake.  With the weather in the Evansville area, Saturday’s action will consist of a single game starting a 3 p.m. at Cooper Stadium.  A doubleheader will be played on Sunday with the start time TBA.

Drake scored five runs in the third inning before pulling away for a 10-1 win over the University of Evansville softball team on Saturday afternoon at Cooper Stadium.

Due to the weather on Saturday morning, a single game was played with Sunday turning into a doubleheader that will begin at 10 a.m.

Evansville had a chance in the opening frame, putting runners on first and third with one out.  Drake was able to get out of the inning unscathed and would open the scoring with a run in the third.  Macy Johnson singled up the middle to score Libby Ryan.  Addie Lightner would hit a grand slam later in the inning to make it a 5-0 game.

The Bulldogs plated two runs in the fourth before scoring three times in the fifth to go up 10-0.  UE scored its first run in the bottom half of the fifth when a sacrifice fly by Sydney Weatherford brought in Mackenzie McFeron. 

Izzy Vetter made the start, allowing seven runs in three innings.  She suffered just her second loss of the season.  Nicole Timmons recorded the win for the Bulldogs, allowing one hit in four shutout innings.  UE had two hits with McFeron and Alyssa Barela recording one apiece.  Lightner led Drake with four RBI while Macy Johnson had two hits, two walks, two RBI and three runs scored.

On Monday, the University of Evansville golf team is set to face UIC in a 7-on-7 match at Evansville Country Club.

Play will get underway at 2 p.m. and will be open to the public.

Last week, the ladies wrapped up the SHU Spring Invitational in Daytona Beach, Fla. with a fifth-place finish.  Alyssa McMinn led three Purple Aces who finished in the top 25.  Her 2-round tally of 155 tied her for 15th. 

Mallory Russell and Allison Enchelmayer tied for the 24th position with scores of 159.  Caitlin O’Donnell was four behind the duo with a 163.
