The University of Evansville (UE) has formed a partnership with Ascend Indiana to connect more students to good and promising career opportunities in Indiana. Through the Ascend Network, the initiative's online job matching platform, UE students will be able to connect with Indiana jobs and internships that match their skill sets and interests and will receive increased one-on-one career guidance and job search support. In addition, this partnership provides Indiana's leading employers with a unique platform for hiring UE students.

Since its inception in 2017, Ascend has connected more than 4,000 Hoosiers with jobs and training opportunities in all sectors across the state. Nearly 700 employers are currently using the Network.

"We are thrilled to embark on this transformative partnership with Ascend Indiana, which will provide our University of Evansville students with enhanced career opportunities and invaluable one-on-one support," said Dianna Cundiff, director of the Center for Career Development. "This collaboration goes beyond the exceptional career assistance we already provide, offering our students a direct pathway to meaningful internships and jobs that align with their passions and skills. By connecting our students to Indiana's leading employers through the Ascend Network, we are reinforcing our commitment to their professional success and the continued growth of our community."

The Network adds a robust resource to the school's efforts to help students find jobs and internships that align with their career goals and provides a lens into the variety of companies and opportunities here in the Hoosier state.

"It is critical for Indiana to retain more college students with relevant skills and abilities to meet employer demand for talent," said Jason Kloth, president and CEO of Ascend Indiana. "Partnering with educational institutions such as the University of Evansville is essential to equipping students with the necessary tools to get their career started here through an internship or early-in-career job, as well as to helping employers connect to the talent they need."

The Ascend Network is a resource offered through the Center for Career Development and at no cost to students. Through the Network, students receive personalized job and internship recommendations that lead to meaningful careers in Indiana.

As part of our commitment to fostering academic excellence and enriching educational experiences at UE, we are excited to announce the launch of our annual Campus Giving Campaign as a part of FORWARD>> The Campaign for the University. Gifts to the university—no matter the size of the contribution—send powerful messages to our students about the importance of philanthropy in private education and about paying it forward. Thank you for your leadership in demonstrating this generosity.

New this year is an online workflow payroll deduction form, located at workflow.evansville.edu. Hover over the Advancement tab and select Giving Deduction to complete your payroll deduction selection. After submission, you will receive an email once it is processed by Payroll and University Advancement.

You have a special view of how philanthropy affects the university in diverse ways. We encourage you to choose how your support will make an impact inside the university. Your support has the power to shape lives, drive innovation, and build a stronger campus.

Payroll deduction also lends itself to becoming a President’s Club member, which is our gift society of donors who contribute at least $1,000 in combined gifts per fiscal year. One benefit of becoming a President’s Club member is receiving a campus parking hangtag which allows you to park anywhere on campus (except for the Admissions’ purple parking in front oval and handicap spots).

Every year, we come together as a community to make a collective impact that transcends the boundaries of our campus. This year is no different, and we invite you to join us in empowering the future generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.

To learn more about FORWARD>> The Campaign for the University of Evansville, visit forward.evansvlle.edu.

If you have questions about giving, please contact University Advancement at x2586 or alumni@evansville.edu.

Thank you and go Aces!

"95% of your restricted gift will directly support that area of campus while 100% of your unrestricted giving will support the University's greatest needs operationally.

Art Department faculty, Professor Ralph Larmann’s artwork Suspension Valley was included as an example of “Color as a Means of Expression” in Steven Bleicher’s art text Contemporary Color: Theory and Use Third edition published by Routledge. Larmann’s work was singled out as an example of how heightened color can be used to evoke an emotional response from a viewer. The author writes, “Larmann uses a color palette with strong intense hues to visually illustrate the toxic nature of the polluted environment. As with earlier expressionist movements, color is used for its emotional content with little regard for the natural world.”

Suspension Valley, completed in 2016, is an acrylic painting measuring 40 inches high by 60 inches wide, and has been exhibited at the Evansville Museum of Arts, History, and Science, and the University of Southern Indiana Kenneth P. McCutcheon Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries.

On Saturday, September 9, students from UE’s Honors Program spent a beautiful morning walking dogs with the Cardio for Canines program at the Vanderburgh Humane Society.  The volunteer efforts were coordinated by HACER, the community service branch of the Honors Program.  Thank you to the 26 students who volunteered!

Week #2 of the season will see the University of Evansville men’s golf team in Chesterton, Ind. for the Valpo Fall Invitational.

Sand Creek Country Club will be the site of the tournament and the par-72 course checks in at 7,082 yards.  Two rounds will take place on Monday with an 8 a.m. shotgun start before Tuesday’s final round will have tee times running from 7:30-9 a.m.

Joining the Purple Aces in the event will be Bradley, Green Bay, Detroit Mercy, DePaul, Western Illinois, Central Michigan, Chicago State and Valparaiso.

Last weekend, UE opened the 2023-24 season at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational in Muncie where Michael Ikejiani led the way, finishing in a tie for 13th.  He completed the weekend with an even 70 in the last round.  His 3-round total was a 220.

Second on the squad was Caleb Wassmer.  After leading the Aces following the opening day of the tournament, he earned a 44th-place finish with a 228.  Carson Parker was third for UE with a 237.  Masatoyo Kato and Nicholas Gushrowski were tied in the final standings with a score of 239.

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team will open up Missouri Valley Conference play on Friday night, as the Purple Aces will travel to Normal, Illinois to battle long-time rival Illinois State.  Kick-off is set for 6 p.m. at ISU’s Adelaide Street Field and Friday’s match can be seen live on ESPN+.

Friday night’s match will feature the current MVC Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, as ISU forward Haley Glover and UE senior defender Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario/Strathroy District CI) took home the Valley’s weekly awards this week.  Glover scored four goals on Sunday in the Redbirds’ 4-1 victory over Western Illinois to capture Offensive Player of the Week honors.  Rosborough, meanwhile, allowed just one shot in a full 90 minutes of work to help Evansville record its third shutout of the 2023 season in a 0-0 draw with Western Kentucky last Thursday.

Overall, Illinois State will enter Friday’s match with a 2-3-1 record, and ISU has been unbeaten in its last three matches.  Evansville, meanwhile, stands at 0-3-3 entering Valley play, and the Purple Aces rank second in the Valley in fewest goals allowed this year, conceding just six goals so far this year.

All-time, Illinois State leads the series over UE, 20-9-4.  However, Evansville posted a 3-1 victory over Illinois State last October at home in the teams’ last match-up.  Friday’s match will mark the seventh time in which UE and Illinois State have opened Valley play against one another, with UE holding a 4-1-1 all-time record in Valley season-openers against Illinois State.

Set for its final weekend non-conference trip, the University of Evansville volleyball team heads to Knoxville, Tennessee for a pair of matches on Friday.  The Purple Aces open at 10 a.m. CT against Chicago State before facing the 15th-ranked Volunteers at 5:30 p.m. CT.

The University of Evansville men's soccer team was able to come back from an early second-half deficit to tie the Lindenwood Lions 2-2.

Forward Kai Phillip and winger Nkosi Graham gave the Purple Aces their two goals to earn a point against Lindenwood in a chaotic Wednesday evening matchup. Forward Nacho Diaz Barragan and midfielder David Hernandez led UE in shots with three apiece, while Barragan and midfielder Carlos Barcia put two shots on goal each. Goalkeeper Jacob Madden made two saves while allowing two goals through 90 minutes.

"As opposed to our last game, after Kai scored [the first goal] we kind of took off and tonight we took it for granted in our effort which started to lack a little bit," said Interim Head Coach Robbe Tarver post-match. "We gave a team like Lindenwood some hope with a soft goal we don't want to concede ever. But credit to them because they started creating chances and putting pressure on us. And I don't think we handled that well, which is disappointing because we talk a lot about responding to moments in the game. And we didn't do that tonight."

The Aces found themselves up early in the 18th minute as Phillip scored his fourth goal in three games. On a cross from Hernandez, Phillip pulled a turn around a Lions player just outside the penalty arc sending the ball into the top right corner of the net. Evansville had the offensive momentum for a shot Barcia in the 26th minute. But Lindenwood found an opportunity nine minutes later on a broken defensive play from UE, tying the game in the 35th minute. The teams headed into the half break with a goal each and three on-target shots.

The second half began with a trio of corner kicks for the Aces, but it would the Lions who made the next move. Lindenwood made its second goal in the 55th minute, beating Madden on the far right side. Evansville responded quickly with two shots on goal in the following four minutes. Momentum swung between the two teams until UE tied the game back up in the 74th minute. Graham scored his first goal of the year on a header in the goal area thanks to a long cross down in the left corner from defender Nacho Diaz-Carneja. The Aces used the goal to spur four more chances, but couldn't quite find the net again, earning a point in the 2-2 draw. 

Evansville begins Missouri Valley Conference play on Saturday evening. UE heads to Des Moines, Iowa to face the Drake Bulldogs for the first MVC game of 2023. Kick-off from Cownie Soccer Complex is set for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN+
