Employee Benefit Enrollment Is Now Open
|
|
Just a reminder that the Online Benefit Enrollment period opened on Monday, April 4, and employees can now log into the system to make your elections. You can also view all of the relevant documents beginning with the open enrollment memo for important announcements, reminders, and changes which will occur June 1 to the University’s benefits.
During the period of April 4 through April 15, benefit-eligible employees may enroll or make changes in the University’s health, life, long term disability, and dental insurance, vision (NEW!) and ACES flexible spending account benefit plans. It is the only chance for benefit-eligible employees to enroll or make changes until the next open enrollment period unless you have a qualifying change in status.
We will once again utilize an on-line enrollment process, eliminating all paper enrollment forms for health, life, dental, vision and long-term disability insurance, as well as the ACES flexible spending account. This will ensure the accuracy of your enrollment elections and maintain records electronically regarding your current and future participation. Enrollment/changes to your TIAA retirement plan salary deferrals will continue to be processed on paper forms available in the Office of Human Resources. Therefore, you do not need to re-enroll in the TIAA retirement plans. ALL benefit eligible employees (including those who do not want to make any changes to their current coverage) must enter their elections by April 15. Please review the open enrollment memo and On-Line Benefit Enrollment Documents on the HR Area of the MyUE portal, which should answer many of the questions you might have about this system.
Please contact the Office of Human Resources at ext. 5045 with any questions.

CDEI Thanks You Prom Volunteers
|
|
On Friday, April 1st the Center for Diversity Equity and Inclusion, in collaboration with Student Activities Board held a Prom night! We recognized that due to the COVID-19 Pandemic many students were not afforded their own high school Prom experience, so why not bring it to UE? Students of all years joined in the fun, making it a very successful night between prom and the after party at Walther's Golf and Fun! However, this fun would not have been possible without the help of some amazing employee volunteers who allowed the students to have that fun, as well as our amazing decorating committee!
From the deepest appreciation, I would like to thank the following people in their time, effort and support of Prom Night!
- Dr. Val Stein
- Jade Shelby
- Gene and Sharron Wells
- Marisa Knox
- Cherie Leonhard
I would also like to take the time to recognize the amazing planning committee who spent countless hours putting this event together and without we would not have had a successful Prom Night!
- Amanda Ward
- Sarah Vreeland
And a special shout out to someone who put her entire Thursday and Friday into decorating and making final preparations all to make sure that her fellow students had a beautiful space to dance the night away- Ty Meadors!
Thank you to all that was included in the night. The CDEI values and appreciate the time that you spent and recognizes that without you there would have been no Prom!

• Against Austin Peay, Shallenberger went three-for-three at the plate, including a third inning grand slam to right center field, breaking the game open in a 10-5 Evansville win.
• Helping to close the series sweep of Michigan State on Sunday, Shallenberger ripped a double up the middle in the eighth, scoring two runs and tying the game at four to help force extras.
• Then in the bottom of the 10th, Shallenberger stood in and wore a 94 mph fastball with the bases loaded to walk in the winning run and secure a 5-4 win for UE.

Walk-off home run gives Loyola 4-3 win over UE softball
|
|
Alex Barnaby hit a game-tying double in the top of the seventh for the Purple Aces, but it was Loyola’s Madison Ebeling who countered with a walk-off home run to give the Ramblers a 4-3 win on Monday afternoon.
Neither team would lead by more than a run in the contest with the University of Evansville opening the scoring with a run in the top half of the second. Haley Woolf led off with a single before scoring on a double by Hannah Hood. The lead was short-lived as Amelia Thomas led the bottom of the frame off with a triple and would tie the game on a sacrifice fly.
Evansville retook the lead in the fourth inning with Woolf crossing the plate on a Rambler error. Just as they had in the second, Loyola came right back to tie the game on a double steal. In the sixth, the Ramblers took their first lead of the game when Hannah Nalley recorded an RBI single.
Down to their final three outs, the Aces fought back just as they had on Sunday. Alexa Davis doubled to lead off, but remained on second with two outs. Freshman Alex Barnaby pinch hit and delivered a game-tying double to make it a 3-3 game. Izzy Vetter came back into the circle in the bottom of the seventh and recorded two quick outs, but Madison Ebeling delivered the walk-off home run to clinch the 4-3 win.
UE finished the game with eight hits with Haley Woolf going a perfect 3-3 with a pair of runs scored. Vetter tossed the entire 6 2/3 innings and struck out six batters.
The Aces return home on Wednesday for a doubleheader against Bellarmine. Game one begins at 2 p.m.

Allison Enchelmayer posted the low score of the day for the University of Evansville women’s golf team in Monday’s final round of the Indiana State Invitational at the Country Club of Terre Haute.
An impressive tournament across the board for the Purple Aces saw them take second in the final standings, but even more impressive – UE was the top performer out of a total of four Missouri Valley Conference programs om the tournament.
Earning the highest finish for the Aces was Magdalena Borisova. Scoring her first top five finish, the freshman carded a 78 in the final 18 holes to complete the tournament with a 152. Her score was tied for fourth, just two strokes off the winning score. One behind her was Allison Enchelmayer. She registered Evansville’s low round of the day, totaling 75 strokes. Her 3-over round lowered her final score to a 153, putting her 8th in the final standings.
Tying for 14th was Alyssa McMinn. After shooting a 79 in Sunday’s round, McMinn completed the final 18 holes with a 78 to finish with a 157. Mallory Russell and Caitlin O’Donnell tied for the 17th position. Russell tallied a 79 in each round while O’Donnell’s scores finished at 77 and 81. Carly Frazier was second among the ten individuals. Rounds of 81 and 80 saw her tie for 27th with a 161.
Green Bay took top honors in the team and individual standings. The Phoenix scored a 307 on Monday to finish with a 608. They came in 10 strokes ahead of the Purple Aces. UE scored a 618, finishing five ahead of Indiana State for the runner-up finish. Isabella Maleki of Green Bay was the tournament medalist. After recording a 79 on Sunday, she carded the low round of the entire tournament on Monday, finishing with a 1-under 71. Her final tally of 150 was one stroke ahead of a second-place tie.
Up next for UE is a trip to Murray Ky. on Friday and Saturday for the Jan Weaver Invitational.
