Previously, he completed many hours as a student intern in the same office under the mentorship of his predecessor, Cindy Knudson. Andrew is a proud UE graduate, earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts in creative writing in 2007 and Master of Science in public service administration in 2014. During his time here, Andrew has grown the position’s scope and responsibility to better serve the evolving needs of the institution, creating and earning the role of senior writer and editor.

After graduating in 2007 and before coming back to work in 2010, Andrew spent several years as proofreader for a local marketing agency, providing services to local and national healthcare and pharmaceutical companies.

Dr. Phil Plisky, Associate Professor of Physical Therapy in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, was a guest educator for the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins. He presented a hands-on workshop on implementing Functional Movement Systems within a professional hockey team to aid in player development, performance, and injury prevention.

Dr. Plisky worked with the Integrated Performance Team, which includes performance specialists and rehabilitation providers that work with athletes in all phases, from injury prevention to performance programming. This team worked together to systematize a holistic approach to developing the athlete across interprofessional disciplines, emphasizing consistent, reliable communication regarding the athlete's daily and long-term status and where each provider can be the most beneficial in the athlete’s recovery.

Professor Todd A. Matteson had his artwork, 'Mountainous Journey', accepted into the 29th Annual Juried Art Exhibit of the Thyen-Clark Cultural Center. The competition was open to any artist who is a current or former resident of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan or Ohio. The juror was Amy De Lap, artist and former professor of painting and design at Vincennes University for 32 years.
