Ivy Tech To Celebrate High School Graduates Earning College Credentials May 19

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – On Friday evening, Ivy Tech Community College will celebrate a record number of high school students who are graduating from college, before they have finished their senior year in high school.

The Perry County community will come together on May 19 at 6 p.m. at the Ivy Tech Tell City Career & Technology Center, to celebrate the accomplishments of 67 high school seniors from Tell City, Perry Central and Cannelton High Schools. These seniors took Ivy Tech dual credit courses while in high school – earning both college credits from Ivy Tech and high school credits from their school –  at no cost to the student. The students learned employable skill sets and/or transferrable blocks of classes.

Students will be awarded a combined total of 77 certificates and technical certificates and have earned a total of 1,665 college credits, said Katie King, director of Ivy Tech Tell City, “That’s over $249,000 in saved tuition costs. Students have earned an employable skill set or a block of credits that can be transferred.”

Forty-seven seniors will be awarded the Indiana College Core, a block of 30 credit hours of general education, college-level coursework which can be transferred to Indiana public colleges and universities and some private colleges.  This saves most full-time students a whole year of coursework allowing them to complete a bachelor’s degree in 3 years, King added.

Those earning employable skills and 30 certificates, did so in the following fields of study – making them ready for entry-level positions in Pre-Nursing Studies, Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair, Certified Nurse Assistant, Dementia Care and Structural Welding.

Lt. Gov. Crouch, IHCDA announces program partnership with AARP Indiana to benefit Hoosiers 50-Plus

(Crowdfunding will receive matching funds through IHCDA’s CreatINg Places program and AARP Indiana)

 

INDIANAPOLIS (May 3, 2023) – In an effort to further the missions of both AARP’s Livable Communities program and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority’s (IHCDA) CreatINg Places crowd granting program, a pilot partnership called CreatINg Livable Communities has been established between the two organizations. This joint venture will assist Indiana communities in funding place-based projects for aging in place. AARP Indiana will provide additional funding to five CreatINg Places projects that benefit Hoosiers 50-plus.

“This collaboration will provide new support for communities in providing accessible, age-friendly and welcoming spaces across the state,” said Lt. Gov.Suzanne Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “Communities grow stronger by bringing people of all ages together.”

The five projects selected by both IHCDA and AARP Indiana will receive additional funding from AARP Indiana up to $5,000, in addition to a matching grant between $5,000 and $50,000 from IHCDA’s CreatINg Places program. Projects that gain community support through crowdfunding up to $50,000 would be eligible to receive up to an additional $55,000 in matching grant funding.

“We’re very excited about the possibilities that this program will create,” said AARP Indiana State Director Sarah Waddle. “By 2034, older Americans – for the first time – will outnumber youth. That’s why it’s so important to come together and invest in local projects that will make communities more livable and help residents age in place.”

Projects must provide a clear and tangible benefit to Hoosiers 50-plus and satisfy additional requirements around the promotion of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, as well as connection to existing community efforts, stakeholder engagement, and relating to AARP Indiana’s key priorities.

Eligible projects must have a total development budget of between $15,000 and $105,000. Projects must crowdfund between $5,000 and $50,000 according to CreatINg Places guidelines through Patronicity’s crowdfunding platform. Unsuccessful crowdfunding campaigns will not receive grant funding from the IHCDA or AARP Indiana. Creating Places projects have a high crowdfunding success rate thanks to the one-on-one crowdfunding coaching that Patronicity provides, helping communities to crowdfund over $7 million since the program launched in 2015.

Project applicants will be reviewed and approved on a first-come, first serve, and case-by-case basis until all funds are exhausted.

NINTH-INNING RALLY FALLS SHORTS, AS UE FALLS TO INDIANA, 6-2 

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. –  A ninth-inning rally fell short on Tuesday night, as the University of Evansville baseball team dropped a 6-2 decision to the homestanding Indiana Hoosiers at Bart Kaufman Field in Bloomington, Indiana.

“A tough one tonight,” said UE head coach Wes Carroll.  “I thought that our pitching gave us a really good chance tonight against a very good Indiana lineup, but we just couldn’t get that key base hit that we needed to unlock a big inning.

“It was really special to see the game that Eric Roberts had though, as it was great to see him go up top twice and close to within one home run of the single-season record.

“We have to put this one behind us though, as we have a very important series this weekend at UIC.”

Trailing 6-2 going into the top of the ninth inning, the Purple Aces got a hit-by-pitch and a walk from Roberts to put two men on with two out.  With former Indiana Hoosier Kip Fougerousse in the on-deck circle representing the game-tying run, Indiana right-hander Luke Hayden was able to strike out UE fifth-year first baseman Chase Hug to close out the contest and preserve the win for IU.

The Hoosiers’ victory overshadowed a monster game by Roberts, who went 3-for-4 with two home runs to drive in both of Evansville’s runs.  Roberts opened the game with a lead-off single, but was later picked off first base to end a scoreless first inning.  He then launched a solo home run over the old bullpen area in right field for his 18th home run of the year – a solo shot – in the top of the third inning to get UE back within a run at 2-1, after the Hoosiers rallied for two two-out runs in the bottom of the second inning.  Roberts then crushed a solo home run in the seventh inning over 430 feet to right field for home run No. 19 of the year to close to within one home run of the UE single-season record of 20.

Roberts went 3-for-4 to lead UE, while junior shortstop Simon Scherry had two hits as well.  Evansville had seven hits on the night, but went 0-for-14 with runners on base in the contest.

With the victory, Indiana extends its winning streak to eight games and improves to 39-14 overall, while Evansville slips to 31-21 overall.  The Purple Aces will continue north to Chicago now to open a crucial three-game Missouri Valley Conference series at UIC (26-21, 12-12 MVC) beginning on Thursday night at 6 p.m.  The winner of the three-game series is guaranteed to finish in the top four of the MVC, and will earn a first-day bye in next week’s MVC Tournament in Terre Haute, Indiana.  Thursday night’s game can be seen live on ESPN+ and heard live in the Tri-State area on 107.1 FM-WJPS and the Old National Bank/Purple Aces Sports Network from Learfield.

UE Archaeology Students to Travel Internationally for Summer Excavations and Internships

MAY 17, 2023

EVANSVILLE, IND.  Sixteen University of Evansville (UE) Archaeology students will make their mark on the international stage as they prepare for a summer full of experiential learning across five countries.

Seven students will be in Israel working on the largest Canaanite city. In the second millennium BCE, the city was comprised of an upper city (the acropolis) and a lower city. Ancient records show that the city was considered the southernmost Syrian urban center during the Bronze Age. Students will be partaking in efforts to excavate ancient artifacts at the University of Haifa Excavation site in the Lower City at Tel Hazor.

In Greece, one student will be working on the University of Missouri, St. Louis’ Iklaina-Pylos Field School Archaeological Project, a lab located at the excavation site of a Mycenaean palace. In Italy, one student will assist in the excavation of an ancient palace through the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Poggio Civitate Archaeological Project. Also in Europe, one student will travel to Portugal to assist in excavation at the Caladinho Archaeological Project, a rural Roman fort.

In the United States, students will be working at sites across the nation. One student will help to locate the remains of an 1840’s farmstead in Illinois built by a freed slave. A second student will assist at the Rhode Island Marine Archaeological Project, where they will process finds from the excavation of two Colonial-era shipwrecks.

Additional students will take on internships at Willard Library in Evansville, the Evansville Museum of Arts, History, and Science and at the Maritime Museum Louisiana, in Madisonville, Louisiana.

“While the work of summer archeological students may seem small in scope, the impact of their contributions can be felt on an international level,” said Dr. Alan Kaiser, Professor of Archaeology. “Through their hard work and dedication, these students help to uncover pieces of our shared human history and bring new insights to the forefront. Whether they are assisting with excavations, cataloging artifacts, or conducting research, the efforts of these students contribute to a greater understanding of our past and inform our present and future. Their work is part of a larger effort to uncover the mysteries of our world and connect us to our collective past.”

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Softball junior outfielder Mackenzie Bedrick (Brownsburg, Indiana), senior outfielder Emma Tucher (New Palestine, Indiana), senior infielder Rachel Martinez (Chicago, Illinois), senior utility Allie Goodin (Evansville, Indiana), and senior infielder Jordan Rager (Fishers, Indiana) were named College Sports Communicators Academic All-District for NCAA Division I. Bedrick and Goodin earn their second Academic All-District Awards, and Tucher, Martinez, and Rager earn their first Academic All-District Awards.

To be eligible for the CSC Academic All-District Award, the student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials and at least a 3.5 cumulative grade point average (4.0 scale). They must have reached a sophomore athletic and academic standing at the institution and must have completed at least one full academic year at the institution.

Bedrick, a nursing major, led USI Softball in 2023 with 31 runs scored while hitting .308 at the plate, second-best on the team. Bedrick, who started all 44 games in centerfield, had a season-high three hits back in February against the University of Evansville and a season best three RBIs at Spring Games in March against Long Island University. Plus, Southern Indiana’s leadoff batter made multiple highlight reel plays and catches patrolling centerfield. The junior outfielder moved inside USI’s top five all-time for career stolen bases with 50.

Tucher made 39 starts this season as part of a strong outfield unit defensively. With two outfield assists in 2023, the senior raised her career assists total to 14. She also sported a .971 fielding percentage this season. The health administration major scored eight runs and brought in three more. Tucher also provided a boost on the basepaths as a pinch-runner in key situations.

Martinez started all 44 games for USI at second base, batting .264 with two home runs, 17 RBIs, and 11 runs. On the Screaming Eagles’ final day of the regular season on May 6, the senior had a season-best three hits against Tennessee Tech University. Her season-high of two runs came in the same game. Both of her home runs came within the first couple weeks of the conference season. Martinez had three multi-RBI games in 2023. With a triple this season, the nursing major moved inside USI’s top 10 all-time for career triples with seven. At the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, Martinez had two doubles and two RBIs.

Goodin was named All-Ohio Valley Conference First Team and OVC co-Player of the Year after a strong year at the plate for the Screaming Eagles. Starting all 44 games, Goodin was second in the OVC with a .412 overall batting average while also ranking second with 16 doubles and 40 RBIs. The senior paced the league in conference play with a .442 batting average and 30 RBIs. On April 23 at Tennessee State University, Goodin had two home runs and five RBIs in a 5-1 win for Southern Indiana. Her multi-home run game was the first by a USI player this season and the fourth such game in Goodin’s USI career. In the Screaming Eagles’ 8-7 win in game 2 against Tennessee Tech University on May 6, Goodin had a clutch two-run home run that tied the game 7-7 before USI won in walk-off fashion. A management major, Goodin had a season-high four hits in late March against Southeast Missouri State University. This season, Goodin moved into the top ten in USI Softball’s all-time history with 19 career home runs. She also surpassed 100 career RBIs, sitting just outside the top ten in USI history. Plus, Goodin closed out the 2023 season earning Ohio Valley Conference All-Tournament Team accolades after batting .500 with a home run and three RBIs in USI’s three games at the OVC Tournament.

Rager, a health services major, started all 44 games at shortstop for USI this season. The senior hit .269 with 11 RBIs and 13 runs, finishing the season with a 13-game on-base streak. In Southern Indiana’s conference-opening weekend at Morehead State, Rager had a season-high three hits and two RBIs on March 11. The shortstop had a strong finish to the season, getting a hit in 12 of the last 13 games. At the OVC Tournament, the shortstop hit .364 with three runs, a double, and an RBI. Rager is top-10 all-time in USI history with seven career triples.

All five Screaming Eagles were awarded Academic All-Great Lakes Valley Conference accolades multiple times during their USI careers.

As a team, USI concluded the 2023 season having made history on multiple fronts. USI Softball competed in its first season as an NCAA Division I program, accumulating 21 total wins and 13 Ohio Valley Conference wins, leading to a third-place finish. While many firsts were achieved, the 2023 season ended with the Screaming Eagles’ first berth and postseason win in the OVC Championship Tournament.
