The Front Oval will be closed to all vehicle traffic on Friday, September 30. The closure is being done to ensure the safety of the volunteers who will be re-painting curbs as part of UE Gives Back Day. The oval will re-open later in the day once the painting work has been completed.

The campus community is invited to attend the Honors Program common read speaking event, a presentation by author Linda Villarosa, on Monday, October 24 at 6:00pm in Eykamp Hall. Ms. Villarosa will be discussing her recently published book, Under the Skin: The Hidden Toll of Racism on American Lives and on the Health of Our Nation, which was the common read for Honors Program freshmen this year.

We hope you will join us for this enlightening presentation. If you’d like to read Under the Skin in advance, copies are on reserve at the library.

About the book and author:

Journalist Linda Villarosa is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, where she covers race, inequality and public health.

Under the Skin is a landmark book that tells the full story of racial health disparities in America by revealing the toll racism takes on individuals and public health. In this book, Villarosa lays bare the forces in the American health-care system and in American society that cause Black people to “live sicker and die quicker” compared to their white counterparts. Study after study of medical settings show worse treatment and outcomes for Black patients. Black people live in dirtier, more polluted communities due to environmental racism and neglect from all levels of government. And, most powerfully, Villarosa describes the new understanding that coping with the daily scourge of racism ages Black people prematurely. Anchored by unforgettable human stories and offering incontrovertible proof, Under the Skin is, according to Oprah Daily, “perhaps one of the most important and thought-provoking publications of the year.”

Villarosa is a graduate of the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, where she is an associate professor and journalist in residence. She also teaches journalism, English and Black Studies at the City College of New York.

This 400-year-old tale could be “ripped from the headlines” of today’s world, as it examines themes central to human nature and our paradoxical relationship to justice and mercy. With all its high-spirited bawdiness, this tragicomedy reveals what can happen when sex, religion, and politics collide.

Va., serves as the associate director; Associate Professor Eric Renschler ’83, serves as the scenic designer; Assistant Professor Sarah J.

Susuras, a junior performance major from Broomfield, Colo., as Friar Thomas; Umbra Person, a first-year performance major from Jonesboro, Ga., as Francisca; Gavin Ramirez, a first-year performance major from McKinney, Texas, as Abhorson; Benjamin Bravard, a senior performance major from Batavia, Ohio, as Barnardine; J. Kenneth Guzman, a first-year performance major from Brighton, Colo., as First Gentleman; Hauson Anderson, a first-year performance major from Columbia, Md., as Second Gentleman; Trace Levens, a first-year performance major from Bryan, Texas, as Officer; Josie Madzik, a first-year theatre studies major from Howell, Mich., as Officer; Arturo Quepons, a first-year performance major from San Antonio, Texas, as Duke’s Attendant; Andrea Vargas, a first-year performance major from Missouri City, Texas, as Duke’s Attendant; and William Cooper Sanders, a first-year performance major from Jeffersonville, Ind., as Angelo’s Attendant.

We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Douglas Tallamy will be presenting on October 1, 2022, 6:00 p.m. in Eykamp Hall, Ridgway University center.

Join New York Times Best Seller author Dr. Douglas Tallamy to learn how the small actions we take as individuals can make a big environmental impact. Sponsored by the Warrick and Vanderburgh County Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Southwest Chapter of Indiana Native Plant Society in collaboration with the University of Evansville's People for Pollinators ChangeLab and the Environmental Concerns Organization (ECO).

Doug Tallamy is Professor of Agriculture and Natural Resources for the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. His first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In his second book, Nature's Best Hope, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. In his latest book, The Nature of Oaks, he is turning his advocacy to one of the most important species of the plant kingdom—oak trees.

This is a free event that is open to the public. Space is limited and registration is required. Register online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dr-doug-tallamy-presentation-tickets-398905155057.

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team will wrap up a three-game homestand on Sunday afternoon when the Purple Aces host the Southern Illinois Salukis in a pivotal Missouri Valley Conference match. Kick-off is set for 1 p.m.

Sunday’s match will be the first part of the second-annual Jimmy John’s Cup between UE and SIU. The Jimmy John’s Cup is competed for in nine different team sports, spanning 13 different matches. The winner of Sunday’s match will earn a point for its school towards the cup standings.

Sunday’s match will also be an important match for seeding in the MVC, as the final month of the regular-season begins. Southern Illinois currently sits in a four-way tie for sixth place in the league standings with a 4-3-2 overall record and 1-1-1 conference mark. Evansville, meanwhile, sits in tenth place, but UE is just two points behind the Salukis with a 1-5-4 overall mark and 0-2-2 Valley record. A win on Sunday would catapult Evansville into the thick of the Valley race, as only three points separate fourth place from tenth place currently in the league. Seeding is important, as only the top eight teams will advance to the 2022 MVC Tournament.

Evansville earned its second point of league play Thursday night, as fifth-year forward Emily Ormson headed home the equalizer in the 88th minute to help UE earn a 2-2 tie with visiting Northern Iowa. For Ormson, it was her team-leading third goal of the year, and 16th career goal for the native of Folsom, California. Ormson needs just three more goals to crack UE’s career Top 10.

Southern Illinois, meanwhile, saw a program-best six-match unbeaten streak come to an end on Thursday night, as the Salukis suffered a 2-0 loss to Missouri State. The Salukis have been the surprise team of the Valley so far, as SIU has bounced back from a 0-15-1 season a year ago to rank second in the league in overall victories with four. Nine different Salukis have found the back of the net so far this year.

“I thought that we played some of our best soccer of the year in the second half on Thursday against UNI,” said UE head coach Chris Pfau. “Now, we need to build on that and continue to play at that level on Sunday. There is still a lot of soccer left in this season, and I think that we showed what we are capable of last night with the way that we played in the second half.”

Sunday’s match will also be International Day at UE, as the International Club on campus will be in attendance and help decorate McCutchan Stadium for the match. Sunday’s match can be seen live on ESPN3.

University of Evansville fifth-year forward Emily Ormson (Folsom, Calif./Vista del Lago) scored in the 88th minute Thursday night to help the Purple Aces earn a 2-2 tie with the visiting University of Northern Iowa Panthers at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville, Indiana.
Ormson headed home a cross from junior defender Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario, Canada) in the waning moments to help Evansville earn its second-straight tie in Missouri Valley Conference play.

“I was extremely proud of the way the team battled and played in the second half tonight,” said UE head coach Chris Pfau.  “I felt like we really controlled the second half of play, and I think it was big for us to get two goals, because we were creating chance after chance, and sometimes you do that and things don’t go your way and you get frustrated.  Tonight, we created chance after chance, and we were able to get two good goals out of it, which will hopefully give us a boost of confidence going down the stretch in league play.”

UNI struck first in the 16th minute on a rebound goal by Lizzie Mewes inside of the six-yard box.  The Panthers would take the 1-0 lead to the halftime locker room, but that was when Evansville came alive.

Pressing a majority of the second half, Evansville controlled much of the possession of the final 45 minutes.  UE was able to equalize at 1-1 on the second goal of the year by Hailey Autenrieb (Cincinnati, Ohio/Seton) in the 69th minute, as teammates Monique Landrum (Escondido, Calif./San Pasqual) and Nicole Benati (London, Ontario, Canada) combined to play a ball to Autenrieb, who chipped the cross over the keeper from eight yards out.

Evansville kept the pressure on, but the high press bit the Purple Aces, as on a counter-attack, UNI was awarded a penalty kick in the 77th minute, which Lauren Heinsch converted on for her fourth goal of the year.

The Purple Aces were not done yet though, as UE continued to pressure the Panthers, with Ormson finally earning the draw with the header in the 88th minute.  For the match, UE’s pressure led to a 16-9 advantage in shots, including a 12-6 edge in shots on goal.  Ormson put five of her match-high six shots on goal to lead the UE attack.

With the tie, Evansville moves to 1-5-4 overall and 0-2-2 in MVC play, while UNI shifts to 4-5-2 overall and 1-2-1 in Valley play.  Evansville will wrap up a three-match homestand on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. on International Day at Arad McCutchan Stadium.  Sunday’s match can be seen live on ESPN3.

The University of Evansville cross country teams will take part in one of the nation’s largest cross country meets on Saturday morning, as the Purple Aces will take part in the 2022 Live In Lou Classic at E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park in Louisville, Kentucky.

Over 130 schools from across the NCAA, NAIA and junior college ranks will compete in three different races on Saturday morning. The men will compete in the standard 8-K race, while the women will compete in the 5-K event.

For Evansville, it will mark the Purple Aces’ second meet of the year, and first since the season-opening John McNichols Invitational on September 17. Sophomore Adam Oulgout (St. Paul, Minn./Central) paced the UE men’s team, while sophomore Ellie Stewart (Lombard, Ill./Glenbard South) led UE’s women’s team. Overall, five of the seven returning team members who competed in the McNichols Invite both in 2021 and 2022 improved their times on September 17 from the year prior.

“What I am looking for on Saturday is to see that continued improvement that I saw in our first race, and I have seen since in practice,” said first-year Director of Cross Country/Track & Field Brooks LeCompte. “The course in Louisville on Saturday is a very fast one, and I think that we could see some of our runners go faster than they ever have before this weekend.”

The men’s Gold race will kick off the Live In Lou Classic at 8:30 central time on Saturday morning. Evansville will compete in the Silver races, which are set for 11 a.m. central (men) and 11:45 (women) central respectively. Saturday’s Live In Lou Classic can be seen live on Flo Sports.

Riding the momentum of its best Missouri Valley Conference start in over 20 years, the University of Evansville volleyball team takes to the road this weekend for a pair of road matches.  UE opens the weekend at Belmont on Friday evening before heading to Murray State on Saturday with both matches carried on ESPN3.

Starting Strong
- For the first time since 2000, the Purple Aces started MVC play at 2-0 following victories over Illinois State and Bradley last weekend
- It marks just the third time UE has opened at 2-0 since joining the MVC in 1994 - the other times were 1998 and 2000
- In 1998, UE started at 4-0 before completing the Valley season with an 8-10 record

Returning to Form
- Alondra Vazquez missed eight non-conference matches but was back in form to open the MVC schedule
- Averaging 4.13 kills, 3.38 digs and 1.00 blocks per set, Vazquez led UE to a pair of league victories
- She picked up a double-double in both contests while setting her career mark with four solo blocks in the win over the Braves and is the Valley leader with 4.56 kills/set
- Her top match of 2022 came at Marshall where she had 26 kills and 12 digs...she recorded a 25-kill effort against Chicago State

Player of the Week
- For the second time in her career, Giulia Cardona earned MVC Player of the Week honors on Sept. 26
- In the opening two MVC matches, Cardona finished with 5.13 kills per set while hitting an efficient .275...she added 2.00 digs and 0.50 aces per set while matching her single-match kill total with 23 vs. Bradley
- Defensively, Cardona had a career-high 18 digs against Chicago State and is averaging 2.65 per set over the last five matches while finishing with 8 or more on four occasions
- Her season average of 3.98 kills per set ranks 2nd in the MVC

Stepping It Up
- Two of the most efficient matches for Emilee Scheumann came last weekend when UE defeated Illinois State and Bradley
- Scheumann recorded eight kills in both matches while hitting .538 and .375, respectively
- After totaling three kills in the opening four matches, she has notched 78 kills in the last 13 contests...she averaged 0.60 kills in the first four matches but has seen that average rise to 1.77 since that time including a career-high of 11 against Tennessee State
