UE Student Government Association to hold Dedication for Legacy Courtyard
|
|
The Student Government Association (SGA) will unveil the Legacy Courtyard project during a dedication ceremony Thursday, November 14 at 4:15 p.m.
Located on the 300 block of South Frederick Street, the dedicated student recreation area includes a patio, hammock village, two sand volleyball courts, and an open green space slated for future phases of development.
The multi-year project began in Fall 2022 and has been spearheaded, designed, and fully funded by the SGA with demolition of five university-owned homes commencing in June 2024. In collaboration with various other student organizations, SGA ensured that all plants and trees in the green space are native to Indiana.
"SGA saw the need for more outdoor study and recreation areas on campus, and we were committed to meeting that need," said Benton Simpson, President of SGA. "The Legacy Courtyard reflects the vision and dedication of our students. Designed by students, for students, it stands as a lasting symbol of our contributions to campus." |

GWS Screening of film "Will & Harper" with Talkback Following: November 17, 7pm in Hyde 110
|
|
The Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies Program presents a film screening of "Will & Harper" and Talkback on Sunday, November 17 at 7pm in Hyde Hall 110.
About the film: Three years ago, Will Ferrell received a most surprising email: his dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman. That friend was Harper Steele, a writer he met on his first day at Saturday Night Live back in 1995, sparking a friendship and creative partnership that grew over the next three decades. In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves — this time, as herself.
Directed by Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar), the new documentary film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and was acquired by Netflix.
Will & Harper is rated R by the MPAA for language.
This event is open to UE students, faculty, and staff. |

This play reading is being presented at 6:30 p.m., Sunday, November 10th.

Snyder Concert and Lecture Series Presents: Sebastian Junger | Thursday, November 14
|
|
Mark your calendars for the upcoming Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series featuring Sebastian Junger!
Thursday, November 14
7:00 p.m.
Shanklin Theatre
Sebastian Junger is the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of WAR, The Perfect Storm, A Death in Belmont, and Fire. He is also the acclaimed director of the documentary films Restrepo and Korengal. As a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and as a contributor to ABC News, he has covered major international news stories and has been awarded the National Magazine Award and a SAIS Novartis Prize for Journalism.
Junger’s latest book, In My Time Of Dying, is part medical drama, part searing autobiography, and part rational inquiry into the ultimate unknowable mystery. For years as an award-winning war reporter, Junger traveled to many front lines and frequently put his life at risk. And yet the closest he ever came to death was the summer of 2020. Crippled by abdominal pain, Junger was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once there, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached, he was visited by his dead father, inviting Junger to join him. That was the last thing Junger remembered until he came to the next day and was told he had suffered a ruptured aneurysm that he should not have survived. This experience spurred Junger — a confirmed atheist raised by his physicist father to respect the empirical — to undertake a scientific, philosophical, and deeply personal examination of mortality and what happens after we die.
Junger became a fixture in the international media when, as a first-time author, he commanded the New York Times best-seller list for more than three years with The Perfect Storm, which became a major motion picture starring George Clooney. |

Beyond the Books: The Intersection of Campus Involvement and Mental Health
|
|
We are inviting you to participate in a research study, click here to start!
Your participation in this online survey is completely voluntary. If you decide to participate in the survey, you can withdraw at any time without any negative effect on your relations with the University School of Health Science. This consent form will give you information about the study to help you decide whether this is of interest to you.
This study aims to investigate how involvement in different campus activities influences factors such as stress levels, anxiety, depression, and overall mental well-being, specifically at a small school where programs and activities are very close-knit. We ask you to participate because you are an undergraduate or graduate student at the University of Evansville. Although the results of this study may be published, no information that could identify you will be included.
Participants will be exposed to minimal to no risk. However, questions about mental health can lead to discomfort psychologically. There will be a list of mental health resources, including the University of Evansville Counseling Services and national helplines.
The survey data will be kept in a digital, password-protected file and kept anonymous. This will be achieved because no individual identifiers will be collected through this survey, and data will only be used in aggregate form during analysis. |

Aces men's soccer draws with Belmont in regular season finale
|
|
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Senior forward Nacho Diaz Barragan (Almeria, Spain) scored his third brace of the year in the University of Evansville men’s soccer 1-1 tie with the Belmont Bruins.
Diaz Barragan scored in both halves for the Purple Aces in the 2024 regular season finale against Belmont. UE led in shots with 12, shots on goal with five, and corner kicks with eight through 90 minutes. Along with Diaz Barragan’s goals two players tallied assists in graduate forward Sami Owusu (Denver / Dayton) and senior midfielder Jose Vivas (Teruel, Spain).
“We put ourselves in a position to host a quarterfinal match. Ultimately, we didn’t get the job done. We needed a win today,” said Head Coach Robbe Tarver following the match. “But a three way tie for third, above .500 in conference, and we’ll have an above .500 record for the overall season. We need to have some perspective and some context on the season. I am really disappointed as I thought our guys did enough to win tonight. Circumstances took it away from them.
“But credit to Belmont as they came back from down a goal twice and put us in some tough spots. I think we’ve played them eight times in the last five years and there’s only been two wins for either team. So it was a pretty classic rendition of this match. But we made the postseason, and we have it all to play for,”.
Evansville began the match with all cylinders firing with three corner kicks and three shots in the first 15 minutes. After sophomore winger Auden Engen Vik (Trondheim, Norway) just missed the net in the 15th minute the Aces had back to back corner kicks. On the second corner kick Vivas connected with Diaz Barragan to the left side of the six. The forward was able to head the ball into the bottom left corner of the net for his fifth goal of the year.
It was a defensive battle for the next 10 minutes until the Bruins found an equalizer in the 27th minute. The final 16 minutes of the first half were all UE though as the team tallied two more shots and two more corner kicks. Evansville’s final shot of the half from redshirt freshman midfielder Jacopo Fedrizzi (Giulia, Italy) was just barely saved with a hand by Belmont goalkeeper Grant Calvert.
With momentum from the end of the first half the Aces continued to push the Bruins defense to start the second. Diaz Barragan again found the net early in the 56th minute on a free kick at the 22 off a Belmont foul. Vivas began the play by taking the free kick, finding Owusu in the penalty area on the right side. Owusu then connected with Diaz Barragan who used his left foot to put the ball in the left side.
UE led for the next six minutes but the Bruins again found the equalizer in the 61st minute to make it a 2-2 match. It was a battle across the field for the final 29 minutes as both teams traded time in their offensive zones. Evansville’s last opportunity on net came in the 76th minute as fifth year forward Kai Phillip (Diego Martin, Trinidad and Tobago) took a chance from the eight that went straight into Calvert’s hands. Neither team was able to find the match-winning goal as the clock ticked down to zero for the 2-2 result.
Diaz Barragan led all Aces with three shots through 90 minutes while Engen Vik, Fedrizzi, and Phillip had two chances each. Vivas added two assists for the first time in his career with a helper on both scores. Freshman goalkeeper Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill. / Elk Grove HS) made two saves while seeing 11 shots come his way.
With the draw to end the regular season UE heads into the postseason as the fifth seed in the MVC Tournament. Evansville will head back to fourth seed Western Michigan for a rematch with the Broncos on Sunday morning. Kick-off from Kalamazoo is set for 10 a.m. CT and will be streamed on ESPN+. |
