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.

UE's School of Education, in partnership with EVSC, has been named a recipient of the Attract, Prepare, Retain Grant! It was awarded by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) in the amount of nearly $1.5 million.

The purpose of the grant is to attract, prepare and retain teachers in Indiana. The UE School of Education will partner with EVSC on four grant-funded activities that intend to draw in high-quality teacher candidates, prepare them to become effective teachers, and provide advancement opportunities for current area teachers.

IDOE shared that successful applications focused on increasing leadership and career advancement within the education profession, as well as increasing opportunities for high school students and underrepresented populations to pursue careers as educators.

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team will look to get back into Missouri Valley Conference Tournament contention on Thursday night, as the Purple Aces will host the Drake Bulldogs at Arad McCutchan Stadium.  Kick-off is set for 6:05 p.m.

Both Evansville and Drake enter Thursday night’s match on the outside looking in towards the MVC Tournament field, as only the league’s top eight will advance to the conference tournament this year.  For both Drake and Evansville, a win on Thursday could catapult them back into the tournament field mix.  Drake is just one point behind eighth-place UNI in the league standings, while UE sits five points behind UNI with three matches to play.

Evansville (1-8-4, 0-5-2 MVC) is trying to bounce back from Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Valparaiso in which the Beacons used two first-half goals to lead the way to victory.  For UE, it was a rare first-half showing defensively, as it marked just the third time in three years in which the Purple Aces conceded multiple first-half goals.  Offensively, UE is also trying to snap a two-match scoreless streak, as the Purple Aces have not scored since fifth-year forward Emily Ormson’s second-half goal against Southern Illinois in Evansville’s last home match.  UE has scored six of its seven goals at home this year, with Ormson leading the team and tying for the Valley lead with four goals scored.

Drake, meanwhile, stands at 2-7-5 overall and 1-2-3 in conference play.  The Bulldogs dropped a 2-0 decision to UIC at home on Sunday.  Like Evansville, generating opportunities offensively has been the biggest issue this year for the Bulldogs, as Drake ranks 11th in the conference in both shots (7.86) and shots on goal per game (3.50) in the Valley.  Unlike Evansville, Drake has had success offensively on the road this year, as nine of its 13 goals have been scored away from Des Moines, Iowa. 

All-time, Drake leads the series over Evansville, 14-10-2, including a 4-0-2 mark over the last six meetings.  It has been a closely contested series over the years, as 23 of the 26 all-time meetings have been decided by one goal or less.  Thursday night’s contest can be seen live on ESPN+.

Led by a strong defensive effort early, the University of Evansville men's soccer team held off the 11th-ranked Cardinals for the entirety of the first half before two second-half goals helped lead Louisville to a 2-0 win on Tuesday evening in Louisville, Ky.

"It was a great midweek battle for our guys this evening," said Aces head coach Marshall Ray. "For stretches of the game, we played toe-to-toe with the No. 11 team in the country. We were unfortunate not to go into half up 1-0, but our guys came out of the half and responded well and continued to put them under pressure. Unfortunate to give up the second goal, but we were pressing the game to try and find the equalizer. This match will benefit us later in the season, in the conference tournament, and as we face teams moving forward. I'm proud of the way the guys fought and battled, especially on a day's rest after a grueling game against Bradley on Sunday. Looking forward to getting back on the field with the guys soon and getting some points on the road in conference against SIUE."

Making his first collegiate start, redshirt freshman Landon Amick played all 90 minutes between the posts, making difficult save after difficult save, compiling seven saves. On the attack, senior Carlos Barcia paced the offense, recording a pair of shots, including one on frame.

Amick and Evansville's backline helped hold the Cardinals in check in the opening half as the Las Vegas native made four saves in the first 45 minutes. Louisville's best chances of the opening 45 minutes came just shy of the 40th minute when the Cardinals put a pair of shots on goal in quick succession, but Amick saved both to keep the match scoreless. Just before the half, Evansville earned what would be its best opportunity of the evening as freshman Tancredi Fadda was brought down just inside the 18 and the Aces were awarded a penalty. Oliver Hald stepped to the spot for the attempt, but the juniors shot was saved by the Cardinal keeper as the match trickled into half tied 0-0.

Evansville continued to battle with the 11th-ranked Cardinals in the second half, putting pressure on the home side. Louisville got its breakthrough in the 55th minute on a goal by Aboubacar Camara on a shot inside the six. In the 77th minute, the Cardinals added their second goal on the night as UE looked to equalize, this one off the foot of Brandon McManus as Louisville captured the 2-0 win.

Evansville remains on the road for its next match, an MVC matchup with SIUE in Saturday at 1 PM in Edwardsville, Ill.

Masatoyo Kato and Michael Ikejiani led the University of Evansville men’s golf team in Tuesday’s final round of the Bubba Barnett Intercollegiate. 

Kato and Ikejiani both finished the final 18 holes at 2-over-par with scores of 74.  With a 3-round total of 224 strokes, Kato tied for the 24th spot.  Ikejiani wrapped up the tournament one behind him with a 225 and came home tied for 28th.

Nicholas Gushrowski was third on the team.  His 79 in round three gave him a 228, earning him a tie for 35th.  Luke Schneider carded an 82 on Tuesday and tied for 38th.  His score finished at 230.  Daniil Romashkin carded an 83 in the last round and completed the 54 holes with a 240.  Individual Isaac Rohlder scored an 85 and wrapped up the event with a 241.

Evansville finished ninth in the team standings with a score of 906.  UE was five behind Bradley and Texas A&M Commerce, who tied for 7th.  Arkansas State finished strong on the way to sweeping the team and individual victories.  With an 850, the Red Wolves defeated Oklahoma Christian by two strokes.  Devyn Pappas wrapped up the final round with a 68 and defeated his nearest competition by six strokes.  His 3-round tally finished at a 204.

Fall action comes to a close when the Aces travel to the Zaxby’s Intercollegiate.  Hosted by Alabama A&M, the tournament is set for October 30 through November 1.
