The CDEI is hosting a series of Living Room Conversations for employees. These guided conversations are designed to help us dialogue across difference in order to create a more inclusive campus culture. Most UE students, faculty, and staff who have participated in a Living Room Conversation say they want to participate again, so come give them a try! Conversations work best in groups of 4-7 people, so registration is required. Each conversation last 60-90 minutes. Living Room Conversations are open to all UE staff, administrators, and faculty and can be used towards fulfilling requirements for the Passport to Inclusion.

To register to attend one of the conversations this semester or for more information, email center4dei@evansville.edu.

Beginning on or after September 26, the intersection of Walnut and Weinbach will be completely closed as part of the City of Evansville's Refresh project. The closure is expected to last for 30 to 45 days due to potential complications with the water force main connection. Work will not take place on holidays or weekends and the timing could also be impacted by weather.

Construction Work: The construction work will involve a complete rebuild of the intersection. This includes the connection of a new force water main, installation of storm sewers, updating traffic signals, creating ADA-compliant curbs, and constructing a concrete intersection.

Parking Changes: Parking in lot Q will be restricted to the south spaces near the curb along the Townhouses. All middle and north side spaces will be closed off, and orange barrels will be placed to facilitate safe delivery vehicle access to Central Receiving.

Parking Enforcement: We want to emphasize that the restrictions will be strictly enforced. Towing will only occur if a parked car creates a critical safety issue or blocks other vehicles from using the designated route. Our goal is to ensure safety and minimize disruptions during the construction period without unnecessary towing.

Traffic Flow: Signage will be placed at the entrance to the lot, directing traffic to make a right turn into the lot using the north lane. Additionally, signage on Walnut west of Rotherwood will indicate "No Thru Traffic Allowed." A barricade will be placed in the straight eastbound lane at the Rotherwood/Walnut intersection. Delivery vehicles will have a route around the barricade using the left turn lane.

Median Turnaround: Bollards on Walnut between Ridgway and Carson Center will be removed by Facilities to allow a turnaround in the median for delivery vehicles to exit through the westbound lane of Walnut. A stop sign will be placed at the turnaround to control the traffic entering the westbound lane.

Walking Safety Tips: Be predictable and ensure you follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals and plan to walk on sidewalks whenever they are available. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible. Keep alert at all times; don’t be distracted by electronic devices that take your eyes (and ears) off the road. Whenever possible, cross streets at crosswalks or intersections, where drivers expect pedestrians. Look for cars in all directions, including those turning left or right. If a crosswalk or intersection is not available, locate a well-lit area where you have the best view of traffic. Wait for a gap in traffic that allows enough time to cross safely; continue watching for traffic as you cross. Never assume a driver sees you. Make eye contact with drivers as they approach to make sure you are seen. Be visible at all times by wearing bright clothing during the day and wear reflective materials or use a flashlight at night. Watch for cars entering or exiting driveways or backing up in parking lots. Avoid alcohol and drugs when walking; they impair your abilities and your judgment.

Alternative Parking for Team Buses: Team buses can use Lot H or Lot O during this time.

Faculty and staff, come join us for some chips and salsa at Lunch Bunch this Thursday, September 28th from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Philips Alcove (Ridgway 2nd floor).

No need to RSVP. Stay as little or as long as your schedule allows. There is no agenda or presentation for these gatherings. Lunch Bunch is a way to offer faculty and staff a common place to get together. We hope to see you this Thursday!

This achingly beautiful story of unrequited love is as timeless today as in the 1890s Russian countryside in which it is set. Stoppard’s masterful translation remains faithful to the humor that Chekhov intended to convey amid all the pathos. Diving into the psychological minefields between mothers, sons, lovers, and familial relations, the passionate lives of these characters are all on full display as they make decisions that are often paradoxical, sometimes destructive, but always recognizably human. A vast emotive masterpiece with music in its words, this play will sear itself into your memory!

University of Evansville senior goalkeeper Myia Danek (Laingsburg, Mich./Laingsburg) posted her fourth shutout of the 2023 season on Sunday, as the Purple Aces’ women’s soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to four matches with a 0-0 draw at Murray State.

Danek recorded six saves to help Evansville to its fourth shutout of the season.  She was asked to make her biggest save in the match’s first 30 seconds, but she was up to the challenge, as a shot by Murray State’s Kate Stordy from 35 yards out forced Danek to punch the ball over the crossbar for her first save.  Danek would record three more standard saves through the first 45 minutes to keep Murray State scoreless.

Evansville had a chance to take the lead in the 29th minute, as a long ball played forward found UE freshman forward Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind./Reitz) behind the Murray State defense, but she was stymied on a shot from 16 yards out by Murray State goalkeeper Griselda Revolorio.  Evansville out-shot Murray State, 7-5, through the first half of play, as the Purple Aces maintained a majority of the possession.

In the second half, Murray State pushed forward and held a 7-3 edge in shots, but the UE defense limited the Racers to just two shots on goal, both from distance, that Danek was easily able to handle.  Overall, Murray State led in shots, 12-10, with freshman forward Brooklyn Robinson (West Haven, Utah/Fremont) leading UE with a pair of shot attempts.

With the draw, Evansville’s record moved to 0-3-6 overall and 0-0-3 in the MVC.  Murray State also stands at 0-0-3 in the MVC with the tie.  The Purple Aces will remain on the road this week, traveling to Carbondale, Illinois on Thursday night to battle Southern Illinois.  Kick-off is set for 6 p.m.

The University of Evansville men's soccer team picked up their first three points of Missouri Valley Conference play thanks to a big second-half effort.

Forward Kai Phillip continued his monumental offensive output for the Purple Aces with goals five and six of the season in their 2-0 win over the Northern Illinois Huskies on Saturday night. Goalkeeper Jacob Madden also picked up his second shutout of the season making two saves in the win for UE. Defender Tobias Bak set a career-high on Saturday evening with three shots, putting two on goal, an effort also matched by Phillip. 

"It's crucial to win games at home in conference," said Interim Head Coach Robbe Tarver following the win. "I think it was super tough and we had to withstand some pressure, especially at the end from NIU. I thought NIU took the game to us a little bit tonight. But we were able to stay a little bit more composed than we have been in the past. And then really capitalizing those big moments that we've been harping on, winning the next moment.

"We did that tonight in two crucial spots to get two crucial goals and a missed penalty. I think Madden did well on that to guess correctly and force him to go high in the corner so he missed. You talk about moments and we won the moments tonight and got the win." 

Saturday's game began quickly with four shots in the first ten minutes as both teams attacked the net. The Aces forced Northern Illinois goalkeeper to make three saves early, showing a renewed offensive attack after struggling on Tuesday. The first half slowed down midway through with several battles at midfield. UE picked up the offense again in the final five minutes of the first with shots on goal from wingers Nkosi Graham and Auden Engen Vik to end the frame.

Evansville carried the offensive momentum into the second half, breaking the draw with a goal in the 53rd minute. Defender Nalu Wagner kept the ball in on the left side near the Aces bench, moving into open space to the left of the penalty area. Wagner's cross found Phillip just outside the right corner of the goal box, where he put the header into the top right corner. Phillip also scored the second and final goal for UE in the final five minutes of the game. After struggling with the game winding down this season, Phillip broke the spell with a fake-out in front of the middle of the penalty area. The ball sailed into the bottom left corner past NIU's keeper for a score in the 87th minute. 

The Aces have a week between games to get ready for a trip to Bowling Green. It will be the team's first meeting since 2015 as well as their first as conference opponents. Kick-off from Cochrane Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 30 is set for 6 p.m. CT.

The University of Evansville volleyball team opened Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) play on the road with a hard-fought loss to the Murray State Racers. 

The Purple Aces may have lost in straight sets, but it was a fight to the finish, not going down easy in the third set. Giulia Cardona had a match-high 26 kills to lead Evansville in their first conference game of the season. Melanie Feliciano served up three aces in the loss while adding five kills, the second-highest on the team. Ainoha Cruiz dove for a match-high 17 digs and three assists to keep UE in the match.

Game 1 - Murray State 25, UE 18
The match began with a quick back-and-forth pace as the teams traded points. After five points tied, Murray State pulled away with a four-point run. The Aces added a point to end the run but wouldn't put together a run of their own until midway through the game getting back-to-back points. Evansville's longest run of the match came out of their final timeout, putting together three points to make it 19-16 and forcing a Racer timeout. But two short runs for Murray State ended the set at 25-18.

Game 2 - Murray State 25, UE 21
It was a familiar beginning to the second set as the teams went back and forth for the first four points. The Racers had an early run, going up 5-2 but the Aces continued to stay within striking distance. Evansville continued to keep Murray from making any long runs with a point, breaking the momentum regularly. But Murray State made a three-point run, going up 17-10 and making UE call a timeout. But out of the timeout, the Aces put together three straight points. A challenge by the Racers stalled Evansville's momentum as Murray went up 20-14, then taking it up to 22-15. The Aces stayed alive with a four-point run, but Murray State closed out the set with back-to-back points to go up by two. 

Game 3 - Murray State 31, UE 29
It was all Evansville to begin the third set as the Aces put up a blistering five straight points highlighted by a service ace for Feliciano. The Racers responded with small two-point runs, but UE stayed ahead by getting points in between the runs. Murray State tied the game up and took the lead on a four-point run. The run was broken by an attack error and was followed up by two more errors for the Racers.

The Aces got the set back to a tie on a service ace from Cardona, making it 15-all, continuing their run up to six points at 18-16. Murray responded with a two-point run, but UE kept all the momentum putting together another big four-point run to make it 22-17. The run included back-to-back kills for Cardona, her 21st and 22nd of the match. The Racers got within two before Evansville pulled away again, getting to set point. But Murray was able to tie the game at 24, forcing a tiebreak to decide the set. 

It was a back-and-forth battle, as neither team was able to come up with the three straight points needed to win the set. The Aces hit set point two times on an attack error forced by Cruz and a kill from Cardona. But the Racers put together three points on two errors and a kill to end the marathon set and take the match in three.

Evansville will remain on the road for its next match on Saturday night. UE heads down to Nashville to take on the Belmont Bruins at 5 p.m.

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team will put its three-match unbeaten streak on the line Sunday afternoon, as the Purple Aces will travel south to Murray, Kentucky to battle the Murray State Racers.  Kick-off is set for 2 p.m. and Sunday’s match can be seen live on ESPN+.

With three straight ties, Evansville finds itself tied with Indiana State and Valparaiso for the longest active unbeaten streak in the Missouri Valley Conference at three matches.  The Purple Aces used a fifth-minute goal from sophomore forward Chrysta Vasquez on Thursday night to tie defending MVC regular-season champion Valparaiso, 1-1, in Evansville.  Evansville currently stands at 0-3-5 overall and 0-0-2 in the MVC entering Sunday’s action.  UE’s five draws are already the eighth-most ties in MVC history, and are just three off of the Valley single-season record of eight, set last year by UNI.

Murray State has also opened MVC play at 0-0-2, as the Racers will bring a 2-6-2 overall record into Sunday’s match.  Murray State has played back-to-back scoreless draws against Missouri State and Belmont to open MVC play.  The Racers attack is led by sophomore midfielder Mary Hardy, who leads Murray State with both two goals and two assists, while ranking among the MVC’s leaders in shots with 25 this season.

Sunday’s meeting will be the 11th all-time meeting between UE and Murray State, with Evansville holding a 7-2-1 advantage in the all-time series.  UE and Murray State played to a scoreless draw last season at Evansville’s Arad McCutchan Stadium.  UE has not played in Murray, Kentucky since the 2012 season, when Evansville posted a 2-0 victory.

Giulia Cardona reset her career kills mark with 36 as she paced the University of Evansville volleyball team to a 3-1 win over Belmont inside the Curb Event Center.

An unbelievable performance by Cardona saw her hit .370 while adding 11 digs.  Ainoah Cruz led the way with 22 digs while Melanie Feliciano recorded a double-double with 17 digs and 12 kills.  Kora Ruff also had a double-double with 49 assists and 17 digs.  Brenna Kauffeld had a team-high 12 kills for the Bruins.

Game 1 – Belmont 25, UE 21

Giulia Cardona picked up a pair of early kills as the first set was tied at 5-5.  Scoring five of the next six points, the Bruins took control, going up 10-6.  The Bruins added to the advantage in the middle stages of the game, leading by as many as eight points.

Trailing 19-11, the Aces went on an 8-3 run to cut the deficit to just three at 22-19.  Chloe Cline picked up two kills in the stretch before combining with Emilee Scheumann on a block to cap off the run.  Things remained close down the stretch before the Bruins held on for the win.

Game 2 – UE 25, Belmont 19

After completing the first set with the momentum, the Purple Aces grabbed a 3-1 lead with Melanie Feliciano recording an ace.  Three more kills by Giulia Cardona helped UE extend its lead to 9-5.  The Bruins fought back to tie the set at 13-13 and the set remained close with another tie coming at 18-18.

Evansville regrouped in a big way and finished the set on a 7-1 run to tie the match at 1-1.  Maddie Hawkins added an ace while Feliciano and Cardona recorded kills to get UE back on track.

Game 3 – UE 25, Belmont 17

Melanie Feliciano posted a kill and ace to send the Aces out to a 4-1 lead.  After Belmont came back to tie the game at 8-8, Evansville took control with three points in a row and later, a kill from Cardona extended the lead to five points (16-11).

Another rally by the Bruins cut the UE lead to just a pair at 18-16, but the Aces fended off the challenge and had another clutch run.  Two more Cardona kills and another ace from Hawkins highlighted a 7-1 run that ended the set to give UE a 25-17 victory and a 2-1 match lead.

Game 4 – UE 25, Belmont 20

Looking to force a decisive fifth game, Belmont had the early edge in the fourth set.  The Bruins took a 3-1 lead and would hold the advantage until Hawkins’ third ace of the day gave UE a 7-6 edge.  Evansville’s run continued as Feliciano added a kill to make it a 10-8 game.

The squads dueled it out over the next sequence with the Aces holding a 19-18 edge.  Just as they had throughout the entire match, Evansville was at its best when it mattered most.  Completing the set on a 6-2 run, Evansville took a 25-20 decision and clinched its first conference win of 2023.

UE is back home on Monday for a 6 p.m. match against Chicago State.

The Aces return to conference play this weekend as they welcome Northern Illinois to Arad McCutchan Stadium for the first time in six years. NIU is a new addition to the Valley in men's soccer in 2023. In the team's previous meetings, the Aces picked up two wins four years apart. UE has only played the Huskies twice in program history and has a 7-3 goal advantage. 

On Tuesday night Evansville held the No. 10 team in the nation scoreless for 78 minutes in a close 2-0 loss to Louisville. A goal in the final 15 minutes of play broke the scoreless tie towards Louisville. It was the first game all season the Aces were shut out by an opponent. UE has averaged 1.63 goals per game with their highest output coming against Southern Indiana with 4 goals.

The Huskies come into Saturday's game with a 2-5 record, recording wins against Western Illinois and Aurora (Division III). NIU's lone MVC game so far was a loss to No. 9 Missouri State last weekend. The Huskies were shut out by the Bears 3-0 for only their second game not finding the back of the net. Northern Illinois is led on the field by junior forward Taisei Arima and senior midfielder Eddie Knight with seven points each. Knight leads the team in goals along with fellow midfielder Camilio Estrada with three goals. 

Evansville defender Nacho Diaz-Caneja is currently on a seven-game shot streak, recording one in all but his first game as a Purple Ace. Of the seven games, Diaz-Caneja has put a shot on goal in 4. UE's most accurate player midway through the season is midfielder Carlos Barcia, putting 85.7% of his shots on target while midfielder Jose Vivas leads the team in shots with 14. The Aces' other shots leader, forward Nacho Diaz Barragan, has been sidelined for the foreseeable future with a meniscus tear.

UE will be celebrating Family Weekend on Saturday afternoon. Kick-off from McCutchan Stadium on the 23rd is set for 7 p.m.
