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.

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!

With the anticipated weather forecast in the Evansville area, the University of Evansville softball team will take on Bellarmine in a single game at 4 p.m. inside Cooper Stadium on Wednesday.  This was originally slated to be a doubleheader.

Sitting at 20-11 overall and 5-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference, the Purple Aces face Bellarmine in a midweek contest.  UE is coming off a road series win at Loyola, taking both games in Sunday’s doubleheader.  After rallying for a 4-2 win in the opener, Evansville shut out the Ramblers by a 4-0 final in game two.  Loyola rallied for a 4-3 win in Monday’s finale.

It has been an unbelievable sequence for UE catcher Alyssa Barela.  Prior to the series finale on Monday, she had four hits in seven at-bats, two home runs, two doubles and six RBI.  She got it started last Sunday against UNI, belting a 3-run walk-off home run to seal a victory.  Sunday’s opener at Loyola saw her pick up a double and a run before putting the finishing touches on the week in game two.  Barela was 2-3 with a home run and double while leading the Aces to a 4-0 win.  She opened the season going 10-for-51 (.196) but since March 20, she is batting .428 (6-of-14).

For the third time in 2022, Sydney Weatherford threw a complete game shutout, earning a 4-0 win at Loyola on Sunday.  The start lowered her season ERA to 2.37, which ranks fourth in the MVC.  Weatherford has been effective in her nine starts, allowing three or fewer earned runs in eight of those contests.  In road and neutral site starts Weatherford has allowed just seven earned runs in 34 innings of work.  That translates to an ERA of 1.44.

Continuing its winning streak, the University of Evansville baseball team captured its fifth-straight victory in an 8-4 triumph over Indiana on Tuesday evening at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.

"Really proud of this team as we started the season 3-10 and have fought back to .500 at 14-14. Getting back to .500 going into Valley play against the schedule we have faced shows what we are capable of," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "We overcame some elements tonight and it started with Shane Harris coming back out after the mound getting fixed and performing. The offense delivered with some at bats and homeruns. Brent Widder came up with a big blast but the two-out at bats from Shallenberger, Tanner and then Simon delivering a big blow gave us enough. We are ready for Valley play this weekend."

On the mound, redshirt sophomore Shane Harris recorded one of his best outings as an Ace. Harris went five innings, allowing just one run on five hits, while striking-out three and earning his second win of the season. In relief, lefty Tyler Denu pitched three scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and recording three Ks.

At the plate, Brent Widder and Simon Scherry powered the Aces, recording five of the team's seven hits and five of the team's six RBI. Also adding hits on the evening were Evan Berkey and Ty Rumsey.

Evansville generated its initial offense in the second inning as Widder scored on a fielder's choice for the first run and scored another later in the inning as Danny Borgstrom scored on a wild pitch. Indiana took a run back in the top of the third with a solo homer from Bobby Whalen.

The Aces fifth and sixth innings proved to be crucial to the win. In the fifth with a and runner on, Widder smashed a home run down the left field line, giving UE a 4-1 lead. Just an inning later, this time with two runners on, Scherry blasted a dinger to left, boosting Evansville to a 7-1 advantage over the Hoosiers.

In the eighth, Evansville added another run on a wild pitch as Tanner Craig came home. Looking to close out the victory, Evansville allowed three runs to Indiana, but Drew Domonik put a stop to the Hoosiers rally as the Aces secured an 8-4 win.

The Aces open Missouri Valley Conference play this weekend with a home series against Southern Illinois, beginning on Friday at 6 PM at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
