United Way Grant Provides Ivy Tech Opportunity to Assist Unemployed,
Under-employed Individuals in Obtaining Training

Evansville, IN – Through funding received from the Empowering Employment Grant of the United Way of Southwest Indiana, Ivy Tech Community College Evansville is now offering Commercial Driver’s License (CDL-A); and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) non-credit programs, where qualifying individuals may earn a credential for a flat fee of $500.

Classes begin in March.

Ivy Tech was awarded $84,000 to provide scholarships and job placement for participants in these two programs through Ivy Tech’s IvyBridges program. Ivybridge is designed to assist unemployed or under-employed community members living in Vanderburgh County to obtain the credentials they need to gain employment. The program will provide support services while the student is working on their credentials, and then bridge the final gap between completing the credential and obtaining stable employment.

“We are pleased the United Way has allocated this funding to Ivy Tech to help individuals in our community,” said Daniela Vidal, Ivy Tech Evansville chancellor. “These professions are in great need of more skilled individuals, and Ivy Tech’s four-week non-credit programming and internships will allow these students to get on their feet quickly.”

Ivybridge will offer participants a flat enrollment rate, credential completion in four weeks, and on-the-job training for four weeks following their course completion in either CDL or HVAC.

  • CDL classes begin March 7 and are held on the Evansville campus, 7 a.m.-5:30 p.m. for four weeks.
  • HVAC classes begin May 2 and are held on the Evansville campus from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. for four weeks.
  • All classes are Monday through Friday and enrollments will continue throughout the year.

While students are participating in the IvyBridges program, they will be offered the full support of Ivy Tech Community College’s services including access to the on-campus free meal program, food pantry, free mental health care, tutoring services, transportation assistance, priority childcare access through our on-campus child care facility operated by CAPE, on-campus access to the Ivy Tech fitness center, access to financial literacy training, and emergency funding assistance.

Students will also have access to the Career Coaching and Employer Connection (CCEC) office, which will provide training and preparation in soft skills, interviewing, and assistance with securing employment both while they are students and for life after that.

To sign up or to receive additional information call 812-429-9810, or email evv-reg@ivytech.edu. Full information can be found at www.ivytech.edu/evansville/ivybridges

0

DALLAS, Texas – University of Evansville relief pitchers Drew Dominik and Jakob Meyer have been named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Award watch list, given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I Baseball, the association announced Thursday. Nominees were submitted by institution and conference publicity directors.

This year’s impressive group includes 66 of the nation’s best relievers and features five nominees from the Missouri Valley Conference, including Dominik and Meyer, Indiana State’s Connor Fenlong, Missouri State’s Trey Ziegenbein, and Southern Illinois’ Trey McDaniel.

Dominik is coming off a dominant campaign in 2021 that saw him lead the team in ERA, amassing a 1.52 earned run average over 29.2 innings in 20 appearances. Meyer was right in step with Dominik, finishing the 2021 season with a 3.68 ERA, capturing five wins and six saves.

Evansville returns to action on Wednesday at No. 5 Vanderbilt in a midweek matchup in Nashville with first pitch at 4:30 PM.

EPA Establishes an Internal Council to Identify Opportunities for Greater Partnership with Historically Black Colleges and Universities

0

As part of a larger agency strategy, EPA’s HBCU Council will review the agency’s recruitment, resources, research, and community engagement efforts and provide recommendations to strengthen support of schools and students

WASHINGTON (Feb. 22, 2022) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the creation of an internal council charged with helping the agency foster stronger relationships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This internal council will identify enhanced opportunities for recruitment of students and support for institutions through grants, contracts, transparent data sharing and community engagement, consistent with law. This announcement comes as EPA kicks off a week celebrating HBCUs during Black History Month.

“HBCUs have produced some of the greatest minds in American history and as we continue the mission of protecting human health and the environment, these vital institutions are helping us lead the charge,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “That’s why I’m proud to create this council to assess ways we can strengthen our recruitment of students and provide broader support to help fortify HBCUs into the future.”

The HBCU council is one part of EPA’s broader HBCU strategy that will be developed in the coming months. The council is comprised of volunteer staff from EPA headquarters, and program and regional offices. The group will identify opportunities for immediate enhancement for recruitment, resources, research, and community engagement. The council will also be charged with determining how EPA can support HBCUs as leader in climate change, climate resiliency, and environmental justice during this administration and into the future. The council’s findings and recommendations will be submitted to Administrator Regan for review and incorporation in the agency’s broader strategy for engagement with HBCUs, which is expected in May.

“It is fantastic to see the EPA finally lift up HBCUs since our schools have played an outsize role over the decades in training generations of leaders and seeding justice movements—including environmental and climate justice,” said Dr. Robert D. Bullard, environmental justice pioneer and Distinguished Professor of Urban Planning & Environmental Policy at Texas Southern University. “Hopefully, this new EPA initiative will help strengthen the education and training infrastructure, research centers, and community-university partnerships at HBCUs and support organizations that uniquely serve some of our most vulnerable populations and communities.”

EPA’s efforts are aligned with Executive Order 14041, White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity Through Historically Black Colleges and Universities, issued in September 2021, which instructs agencies to “advance equity in economic and educational opportunities for all Americans, including Black Americans, strengthen the capacity of HBCUs to provide the highest-quality education, increase opportunities for these institutions to participate in and benefit from Federal programs, and ensure that HBCUs can continue to be engines of opportunity.”

“I am grateful that EPA is making this commitment to HBCUs. Our work with HBCUs prepares students to apply research and analysis to the pressing problems of environmental racism and the climate crisis facing Black communities,” said Dr. Beverly Wright, Executive Director of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice and Co-Director of the HBCU Climate Change Consortium.

During Administrator Regan’s Journey to Justice Tour last November, leaders from Jackson State University, Tougaloo College, and Texas Southern University, expressed a desire for EPA to provide greater opportunities for students to gain experience in environmental fields and for their schools and others to be considered for more federal funding as they tackle the environmental challenges that plague vulnerable communities. Discussions with these leaders and those from schools across the country reinforced the agency’s commitment to supporting the environmental advocates of the future.

“EPA’s partnering with HBCUs is significant to prepare the next generation of leaders to navigate the nation’s most complex issues and make significant changes to protect our environment,” said Tougaloo College President Dr. Carmen J. Walters.

EVANSVILLE, IN (02/22/2022) The University of Evansville (UE) Theatre continues their spring 2022 season with Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle, English version by Eric Bentley. Teeming with political overtones and a sharp look at human nature, this play, written at the end of World War II, retells the story of an innocent child claimed and fought over by two mothers, resulting in one of the most riveting trials ever staged. This production opens on Thursday, February 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the May Studio Theatre. Additional performances are 7:30 p.m. on February 25 and 26, and at 2:00 p.m. on February 26 and 27.
