Elyse Talley’s ChangeLab “People for Pollinators” was an important part of a successful weekend event. Elyse had the opportunity to introduce Dr. Douglas Tallamy to a room of more than 300 people as he give an illuminating talk on the importance of native plants and how every person can take steps to “put the plants back.”

Tallamy’s visit was made possible through a collaboration with ChangeLab, student groups ECO and BiSci, Vanderburgh and Warrick County Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and the Southwest Chapter of Indiana Native Plant Society.

Dr. Tallamy has published several influential books about how homeowners across the nation can take action to conserve native wildlife (including pollinators) in our own backyards. This event included a presentation, Q&A, book giveaway, and book sale and signing.

The People for Pollinators ChangeLab is a student-led community outreach initiative with a mission of educating people about the importance of native plants and pollinators so they can feel empowered to take action to support native species in their own yards. Follow People for Pollinators on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ueforthebees for weekly “What Native Wednesday.” This is a weekly series of posts that will highlight which native plants are the best pollinator-friendly additions to grow in your backyard, as well as which bee and butterfly friends are most attracted to them!

The Baseball Manager(s) report directly to the Head Baseball Coach and will be responsible for the keeping and management of daily practice charts and video, as well as assisting at practice where needed. Must be able to attend the majority of practices and games. Must be proficient in Microsoft Excel.

The deadline for students to cancel their UE housing contract for the spring semester is October 5. Students can cancel a UE housing contract without penalty for the spring semester if you will be:

• Attending Harlaxton or studying abroad (if already approved for Harlaxton or study abroad, you do not need to do anything to cancel your housing for the spring semester)
• In an internship, co-op, or clinical outside of the Evansville area
• Moving into a fraternity house (for the spring semester)
• Transferring, withdrawing, or graduating

Requests not falling in the above categories are typically not granted. Requests to move off campus to live with friends or move into an apartment are not sufficient reasons to cancel a UE housing contract. Entering into any other housing agreement or lease with a private landlord will have no effect upon the conditions of your contract with the University of Evansville.

Housing Cancellation forms are available on our website at - www.evansville.edu/residencelife/housingapplyreturn/cancellationsAndRefunds.cfm.

For more information, please contact the Office of Residence Life.

After a non-conference victory over Lindenwood on Saturday night, the University of Evansville men's soccer team returns to Missouri Valley Conference competition with a trip to take on new league member Belmont at 6:30 PM on Wednesday night in Nashville, Tenn.

Meeting for the first time as conference foes, Evansville and Belmont will renew their series for the 14th time when the two sides clash of Wednesday evening in Nashville. The Aces own a 10-3 advantage in the all-time series, but the Bruins captured the last meeting on Oct. 12th last season, earning a 2-1 victory. Belmont enters the Wednesday contest with just one loss on the season, a 3-0 setback to sixth-ranked Kentucky on September 2. Belmont junior Case Cox captured MVC Offensive Player of the Week honors on Tuesday, scoring a hat-trick in a 3-3 draw with UIC last weekend. The Bruins enter the match at E.S. Rose Park having gone 15 matches straight without a loss at home.

Evansville is off to one of its best starts in recent history, having suffered just two losses through eight matches, both coming to ranked opponents (No. 17 Xavier and No. 19 Missouri State). Evansville's attack through eight games in 2022 has been powered completely by international players. 12 of UE's 16 goals have been scored by players from Spain, led by Nacho Diaz's team-best seven goals on the year. The other four have been scored by junior Kai Phillip of Trinidad & Tobago (three goals) and Denmark's Oliver Hald (one goal). An unsung hero in the Aces attack, senior Carlos Barcia has been just about everywhere for Evansville. The Gijon, Spain native has scored three goals, good enough for second-best on the team, while also contributing three assists, which is also second on the team. Twice this season, Barcia has scored and assisted in the same match; first against UIW (9/3) and most recently on Saturday against Lindenwood.

Freshman Kate Petrova shot a 3-over 73 to help the University of Evansville women’s golf team earn a 13th-place finish at the Butler Fall Invitational at Highland Country Club.

Petrova’s round on Tuesday was the lowest of the entire tournament for the Purple Aces.  Her 3-round total finished with a 234 to give her a tie for 21st.  Mallory Russell had her top performance of the event.  After opening with rounds of 79 and 83 on Monday, Russell carded a 77 in the final 18 holes.  She tied for 43rd with a 239.

Magdalena Borisova was the third Purple Aces player to record her low score of the tournament.  Borisova scored an 80 to wrap up play with a 243.  She tied for 53rd.  Allison Enchelmayer tallied an 85 in round three.  With a total of 245, she took 63rd.  Destynie Sheridan matched Enchelmayer’s effort with an 85.  Her 3-round score checked in at a 257.  Individual Carly Frazier shot an 83 on Tuesday on her way to a 253.

Following day one, the Aces were in 14th place, but a 315 was enough to rise in the standings to 13th with a 961.  Austin Peay had a stellar finish, scoring a 289 to defeat the competition by 16 strokes.  The Governors were the only team to shoot a sub-300 team round over the 54-hole tournament.  Taylor Dedmen of APSU was medalist.  With a 1-under 69, she cruised to the 6-stroke victory.

Next up for UE is the Coyote Creek Classic.  Hosted by Bradley, the tournament is set for Saturday and Sunday in Peoria, Ill.
