* Institute for Public Health Seeking Applications for the Scholar Program

The Institute for Public Health is now seeking applications for the Scholar Program. The Scholar Program provides a supportive infrastructure for meaningful physical and virtual collaborative exchanges. A critical part of the program’s success is not relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. We are committed to a portfolio of strategies to suit scholars from across the university and community in various disciplines, at different stages in their careers, and with distinctive pathways toward success. We want to work with scholars to spark productive collaborations, remove barriers to collaboration, and make it easier for scholars to broaden their networks for their public health research, practice, advocacy, and teaching activities. Scholars should be interested in collaborating with other disciplines to help expand their own areas, refine research questions, enhance development of public health interventions, improve practice delivery, enrich teaching, etc. Scholars will be awarded $750 to support their proposed project.

There are three categories where individuals may apply to become a scholar:
Faculty scholar is for University of Evansville faculty
Student scholar is for University of Evansville students (undergraduate or graduate)
Community scholar is for Evansville community members

Benefits of Being a Scholar:
Help connecting one another, or to useful resources and networks, to solve public health challenges
Assistance planning and implementing unique scholar-driven activities related to public health practice, research, education, and advocacy
Support from the Institute’s communication infrastructure to disseminate news about scholars’ public health work through multiple channels including websites, email newsletter, social media, or other tailored approaches
Comprehensive communications about public health events and opportunities

If you are interested in applying for the Scholar Program, please contact Dr. Payal Patel-Dovlatabadi at pp42@evansville.edu or 812-488-2210. Deadline to apply is 11/11.

* Flames Score Late To Burn UE Women's Soccer, 1-0

On a windy night in Chicago, the UIC women’s soccer team scored a corner kick goal in the 80th minute on Thursday night to slip past the visiting University of Evansville Purple Aces at Flames Field in Chicago, Illinois.

UIC freshman midfielder Sophia Jaime was able to curl a corner kick into the goal that bounced off a Purple Ace as UE goalkeeper Georgia Katsonouri was unable to clear it away to give the Flames a 1-0 lead with just under ten minutes to play. Jaime was credited with the goal, her second in as many matches for UIC.

Evansville would earn a corner kick over a minute later to try and respond, but the Purple Aces could not build a shot towards goal, and UIC was able to hold on down the stretch to earn their second Missouri Valley Conference victory of the season at home.

For the match, UIC out-shot Evansville, 17-4, including an 8-0 edge in shots on goal. Katsonouri recorded a season-high six saves for UE in goal, and the Purple Aces had a team save.

With the victory, UIC improves to 2-5-4 overall and 2-1-2 in conference play. Evansville, meanwhile, falls to 1-7-4 overall and 0-4-2 in league play. The Purple Aces will continue on the road this weekend, as UE will travel to preseason MVC favorite Valparaiso (4-6-3, 3-1-1 MVC) on Sunday for a 1 p.m. contest. Sunday’s match can be seen live on ESPN3.
