BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 6-ranked Indiana women’s swimming and diving took care of business in its season-opening win over Notre Dame Wednesday (Oct. 23), winning every event in the dual meet inside the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.

Ten different Hoosiers were individual winners as IU outscored the Fighting Irish 167-134.

STATEHOUSE — The State of Indiana received the highest award for financial reporting for the 31st consecutive year from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA), announced State Comptroller Elise Nieshalla today.  

GFOA awarded the Comptroller’s Office the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the state’s 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial report (ACFR). The ACFR is prepared annually by the State Comptroller and audited by the State Board of Accounts. 

“Indiana’s ACFR is tangible evidence of our state’s solid fiscal position and provides an accurate report of Hoosiers’ tax dollars at work,” said Comptroller Nieshalla. “I’m extremely proud of our accuracy in financial reporting – the consecutive years of accomplishment showcases our team’s talent and professionalism.” 

Indiana’s ACFR is one of the main components used by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to review and analyze the state’s financial condition and assign a credit rating.

Indiana is one of 14 states in the nation that has earned the highest credit rating of AAA by all three independent credit rating agencies.

“The higher a state’s credit rating, the lower the cost to repay its bonds,” said Comptroller Nieshalla. “For investors, high ratings are a clear indication that Indiana can meet its financial obligations to pay both interest and principal.”

In addition to the in-depth report accounts for all the state’s financial data, the ACFR also includes other demographic, economic and statistical information.

U E

EVANSVILLE, IND. (10/22/2024) The University of Evansville (UE) is excited to announce the upcoming High School Changemaker Challenge, made possible by Toyota Indiana. Any high school sophomore, junior, or senior is invited to participate for a chance to win a four-year scholarship, with a top prize of full tuition to the University of Evansville.

UE believes everyone can be a changemaker, and positive change doesn’t have to wait until college. The Changemaker Challenge, created by the University’s Center for Innovation & Change, encourages the younger generation to identify and solve challenges in the world through innovation and creativity. Students will share their innovative ideas (products, services, or programs) in a pitch competition, and scholarships will be awarded to first through third place. Once they enroll at UE to continue their education, students can continue designing and implementing their ideas in the University’s signature ChangeLab program to make a lasting difference.

Interested participants can attend an online information session on Friday, November 15. Video recordings describing students’ ideas must be submitted by December 13, and the top 20 finalists will be announced on the UE website on December 20.

The UE High School Changemaker Challenge takes place over two days and includes the Top 20 round, networking, micro-ChangeLab experiences focused on creativity and innovation, and the Championship Round and Awards Celebration, a catered event celebrating all the Top 20 teams.

The top 20 competition will be held on UE’s campus on January 24, 2025, after which the Top 6 teams will be selected to move on to the Championship Round. The Championship and Awards Celebration will take place on January 25, 2025.

The competition is open to any high school junior or senior, and they may compete individually or in teams of up to three. Home school and club entries (e.g. Scouts, Boys and Girls Club, 4-H) will also be eligible. To qualify for a scholarship, competitors must also attend the in-person competition on campus in Evansville, Indiana.

All ideas are welcome! Special bonus points may be available if your idea fits one of these four categories:

  • Increase girls’ access and exposure to science fields (e.g. a summer camp for girls interested in physics)
  • Address or mitigate climate change (e.g. decreasing air pollution, rooftop gardens)
  • Increase access to physical activity or health options (e.g. more dance classes or recess in schools, fitness trails, creative outdoor play options)
  • Provide creative ideas to improve quality of life in Evansville’s Promise Neighborhood

The winning students who choose UE as their college destination will receive the following scholarships*:

1st place: Full tuition
