USI has been celebrating its anniversary with a series of events throughout the year that commemorate the University’s history, but also focusing on the future, as USI continues to grow and expand to meet the ever-changing needs of the region and its students. This week, September 14-20, the week of the University’s founding, is USI’s 50th Anniversary Celebration Week and will feature a multitude of events, including a capstone event on September 19, and USI’s Founders’ Day Luncheon on Tuesday, September 15, which will include a proclamation by Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, state legislators, USI Board of Trustees members and members of the former Southern Indiana Higher Education, Inc. (SIHE), which was instrumental in the University’s founding.
Following the Founders’ Day event an all-campus photo will be taken on the Quad, at the heart of the USI campus, followed by the serving of birthday cake. This event is free and open to the public, with USI logo-wear encouraged.
