In October 2006, he transferred to the FBI Indianapolis Field Office’s White-Collar Crime squad where he is assigned as a Forensic Accountant. In this role, he is responsible for the review and analysis of financial evidence received in support of criminal and national security investigations. In addition to working at the FBI, he is an adjunct professor at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business in Bloomington and Indiana University-East, where he teaches courses in Fraud Examination and Forensic Accounting.

Mr. Knight graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with concentrations in Accounting and Legal Studies from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.

Roles within nonprofit organizations can and often look identical to roles in private (for-profit) and public sector counterparts. A common misconception is that nonprofits cannot generate revenue. The difference is non-profits reinvest surplus funds into the organization to continue the promotion of its mission rather than paying share holders.

Join us for a nonprofit fair on Thursday, November 3 from 12 -1pm in the SOBA Atrium.

You can learn more about job, internship, and volunteer opportunities or come to learn more from professionals about the structure and operation of their organization!

University of Evansville graduate student Melanie Helder (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) has been named to the Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Scholar-Athlete Team for her work both in the classroom and on the cross country course.
Helder, who is currently pursuing her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at UE, garnered MVC Scholar-Athlete Team honors after placing 13th overall at the MVC Championships in Terre Haute last Friday.  Scholar-Athlete honors in cross country require student-athletes to meet performance standards, as they must finish in the first 20 runners at the conference championships, and hold at least a cumulative 3.5 GPA and be in sophomore standings academically.  Helder earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors at Michigan State last year after graduating from MSU with a 3.98 GPA.
Helder and the Purple Aces will now turn their attention to the indoor track season, with competitions beginning early next month.

University of Evansville fifth-year forward Emily Ormson (Folsom, Calif./Vista del Lago HS) and junior defender Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario/Strathroy District Collegiate Institute) took home all-Missouri Valley Conference honors on Wednesday night, as the league announced its post-season award winners in a banquet prior to the MVC Tournament semifinals in Valparaiso, Indiana.

Ormson earned second-team all-Valley honors, while Rosborough was named to the Valley’s third team all-conference.  For both players, it marks the second-straight year in which they earned all-Valley accolades.

Ormson was named to the league’s all-conference second team after ranking in the league’s top 10 in most offensive categories this season.  She currently ranks second in points per match (0.81) and fourth in total points with 13, while ranking tied for third in the league in goals scored (five) and tied for ninth in assists (three).  Ormson also leads the league in shots on goal (24) and shots on goal per match (1.50), while ranking second in NCAA Division I women’s college soccer in shot accuracy at 70.6 percent.

Rosborough, meanwhile, was one of the league’s top lock-down defenders, while earning third-team all-Valley honors.  Of the 113 shots allowed by Evansville this year in MVC play, only 10 came by players marked by Rosborough.  This year, she also became an important part of the UE attack, as she tied Ormson for the team-lead with three assists.  All three assists came in league play, as she tied for fourth in the league in assists in conference play, while playing every minute of league action.  Overall, she ranked second on the team in minutes played with 1,305.

Missouri State’s Grace O’Keefe (Player Of The Year), Carly Raunig (Defensive POY), and Hailey Chambliss (Freshman Of The Year) took home three of the four main individual awards at the tournament banquet, with Valparaiso goalkeeper Nikki Coryell earning her third-straight Goalkeeper of the Year honor.

Kenny Strawbridge Jr. and Antoine Smith Jr. were the top scorers once again as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team wrapped up its exhibition slate with a 74-64 victory over Huntington University on Wednesday evening inside the Ford Center.

“We knew this was going to be a good test.  Huntington went to the national tournament last season and returned an All-American and have good shooters all the way around,” Aces head coach David Ragland said.  “Both teams made runs to take the lead and I am happy with how we responded.  We are playing for each other and are working to get better.”

Strawbridge recorded 18 points and 6 rebounds in the win.  He was 4-for-6 from outside while adding four assists.  Smith continued his efficient shooting, going 6-for-7 from the field on his way to 15 points.  He also tied for the game-high with six caroms.  Blaise Beauchamp added 12 points while Marvin Coleman II scored 11.  Coleman also recorded six boards.

Sekou Kalle had the first bucket of the night before the Foresters scored five in a row to take their first lead of the game.  Marvin Coleman II converted the first triple for the Aces to put them back in front at 6-5 before Huntington posted the next three to go back in front at 8-6.

Evansville regrouped and would go on an 11-0 run to take its largest lead at 17-8.  Antoine Smith Jr. got things started with a runner to tie it up while Kenny Strawbridge Jr. took a pass from Smith and turned it into a triple for the next UE score.  Smith added another triple while Strawbridge connected on another field goal to close the rally with the Aces up 17-8.

In the blink of an eye, Huntington stormed back.  Scoring eight in a row, the Foresters made it a 1-point game at the midway point of the half and would continue to rally.  What turned into a 12-2 rally, the Foresters went back in front by a 20-19 score with 8:49 remaining in the half.

Trailing by a 22-21 margin, Evansville reeled off ten in a row to help make it a 34-27 game at the half.  After Gage Bobe opened the run with a layup, Preston Phillips launched a 3-pointer at the buzzer to make it a 26-22 game with 5:50 showing on the clock.  Strawbridge also added a trey in the run.  Strawbridge led all players with 12 points in the first half.

Out of the break, Bobe hit the opening attempt to push the lead back to nine, but the Foresters fought back with another run, outscoring UE by an 8-2 margin to get back within a possession.  Huntington kept it within two possessions for the next sequence until Coleman and Strawbridge added buckets to push the lead to 57-49 with under eight minutes left.

After the Foresters got within six to make it a 57-51 score, the Aces made a statement.  Knocking down nine out of ten field goal attempts, UE extended the lead to a game-high of 13 points when a shot by Blaise Beauchamp made it a 64-51 game inside of the 6-minute mark.  The Foresters cut slightly into the deficit over the final moments but the Aces held strong, winning by a 74-64 final.

“It is always important to win – they (Huntington) are a good team and came ready to play.  They had nothing to lose and shot well.  We need to learn what we can from tonight and be ready for our next game,” Coleman exclaimed following the victory.  “We need to approach every game with the same mentality and work to get better each and every day.”

UE wrapped up the game shooting an even 50%, hitting 30 out of 60 field goal tries.  The defense held the Foresters to 39.7% shooting along with a 29.4% tally from outside.  With seven players hauling in five or more rebounds, the Aces finished with a 45-31 edge in that statistic.

With two successful exhibition games under their belt, the Aces are set to open the regular season on Monday evening at Miami Ohio.
