Aces volleyball recognized with AVCA Team Academic Award

0

UE earns award for 13th time

 

In a unique academic year that featured many twists and turns, including the playing of the season in the spring, the University of Evansville volleyball team excelled in the classroom and was recognized on Monday with the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award.

 

The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC) honored a record 1,275 collegiate and high school teams.  The award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.

 

For the 13th time in program history and the first since 2017, UE earned the award.  The Purple Aces combined for a 3.363 over the course of the 2020-21 school year.  Evansville was one of nine Missouri Valley Conference volleyball teams to earn the distinction.

 

“As a program we are working, to be better on and off the court.  Academics is big in our school and in our program,” UE head coach Fernando Morales said.  “The girls did great with all that was happening last year including the season moving, all of the restrictions and they were able to perform in the classroom, which is the most important aspect of a student athlete.  I am very proud of them.”

 

Assistant coach Melissa Rabell echoed those sentiments.

 

“One of the goals for the program last year was to push each other more in the classroom. Since day one, they worked extremely hard and the results are in,” she exclaimed.  “It is gratifying to see the academic excellence on and off the court.”

 

At the NCAA Division I level, a record-breaking total of 243 programs earned the accolade. Across all eligible levels – a total of 1,275 teams were recognized including NCAA, NAIA, 2-year colleges, men’s teams, high school and collegiate beach volleyball.

 

Mayor Winnecke’s Update On The Situation Involving The Parks and Recreation Department.

1
MAYOR
MAYOR

Good afternoon. I hope this finds you well.

I’d like to take this opportunity to update you on the situation involving the Parks and Recreation Department.

Last Tuesday, City Finance alerted me to the existence of two unordinary invoices. It became immediately clear that we should ask EPD to investigate. The Financial Crimes detective unit reached out to City Finance to begin the investigation. Since the start of their work, five additional questionable invoices have come to light — for a total of seven.  It’s very important to note that there is no evidence of missing city funds at this time.

I have, however, authorized the engagement of an independent, outsider auditor to conduct a forensic review of the Parks Department. That work will begin right away. In fact, we anticipate having a contract on the agenda for this week’s Board of Works meeting for their approval.  This review will be performed on an hourly rate basis, so it’s unclear how much this work will cost. We will be adding $50,000 to an upcoming Finance Ordinance as a starting point. It may cost less. It mas cost more. And, it’s possible that our insurance will cover the cost of the review as well as any potential loss. Our city legal team is working with our insurance provider on that front.  Furthermore, City Finance has alerted the State Board of Accounts to these invoice irregularities as a matter of routine protocol.

This investigation is being led by the very capable Financial Crimes unit of EPD. The FBI, with whom EPD regularly partners, is aware of this investigation but does not have an active role.

The questions raised in the last several days have prompted my to lose confidence in Brian Holtz’s ability to lead the department going forward. Therefore, I have accepted Brian’s resignation. I have asked Deputy Mayor Steve Schaefer to assume management of the department until a new, permanent director is named. I offered that direction and re-assurance when I met with the Parks Department staff this morning.  Detectives tell me the staff has fully cooperated, and they believe have no role in the questionable invoices.

It’s important to stress to your constituents that all normally scheduled activities of the Parks Department will continue.

Please know that I am committed to fully understanding the scope of the irregularities. I’m sure each of you share my deep and profound disappointment.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks. Take care.

Rokita Encourages Military Service Members And Veterans To Guard Against Scams

0

As military service members and their families make enormous sacrifices daily for the good of their fellow citizens, they should also be sure to protect their own interests from would-be scammers and schemers, Attorney General Todd Rokita said today.

“By their very nature, the men and women serving in the U.S. armed forces tend to be selfless individuals,” Attorney General Rokita said. “They consistently prioritize the needs of their country ahead of their own comforts and safety. As part of our office’s mission to safeguard consumers, we want to make a special point to remind these heroes to stay vigilant against fraud, identity theft and other predatory practices.”

July is Military Consumer Month. The U.S. Department of Defense, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other agencies are also highlighting consumer threats to which service members and veterans could be vulnerable.

Recent scams for which veterans and military service members should be on the lookout include bogus military charities; calls, texts or emails attempting to impersonate the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA); copy-cat recruiting websites; and crowdfunding scams.

For the most part, Attorney General Rokita said, military families should follow the very same preventative steps as other consumers and take the same measures to rectify issues when they occur. They should pay particular attention, however, to the possibility that scammers may use misleading photos or language to falsely imply an association with a branch of the military or veterans group.

Veterans, active military service members and their families should be vigilant about protecting their personal and financial information through such steps as the following:

  • Place an active duty alert on credit reports at no cost. An active duty alert requires businesses to take additional steps before granting credit in the name of active duty personnel serving overseas.
  • Carefully inspect email addresses in all messages landing in your inbox.
  • Avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails, and be wary of email attachments.
  • Purchase goods and services from trusted vendors. Use trusted, legitimate websites when doing business online.
  • Don’t reveal personal or financial information via email or text message.
  • Verify the authenticity of a charity before donating money. You may research charities at the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance website at give.org.
  • Pay by credit card for all transactions. This enables you to file disputes with your credit card provider if you encounter fraudulent sellers. Do not wire money to purchase items. Never pay with gift cards.
  • Do not follow payment instructions that take you outside of the payment services of legitimate websites with which you are familiar. This is generally a phishing attempt to steal credit card information.
  • Take your time. Never feel pressured to act immediately to sign a contract or make a transaction.

USI’s Comastri, Nolan Earn Academic Honor

0

University of Southern Indiana Cross Country/Track & Field seniors Jennifer Comastri (Indianapolis, Indiana) and Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana) have been named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District IV teams in a vote by the Midwest Region’s SIDs.

Comastri is earning Academic All-District honors for the first time after collecting a pair of All-America awards, two All-Midwest Region accolades, a Great Lakes Valley Conference title and three All-GLVC honors during the 2020-21 season.

Last month, Comastri was named USI’s Female Student Athlete of the Year after setting school records in the indoor 5,000 meters as well as the 10,000 meters. She is now a five-time All-American, seven-time All-Midwest Region honoree, two-time GLVC champion and 10-time All-GLVC performer.

Comastri, who is working on her master’s degree in health administration, moves onto the women’s national ballot for Academic All-America consideration.

Nolan, a two-time Academic All-American, is earning Academic All-District honors for the third straight year after earning All-Midwest Region honors and finishing 15th in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA II Indoor Championships in March.

In addition to his Academic All-America awards, Nolan has twice been named the GLVC Cross Country Runner of the Year and has been voted GLVC Scholar Athlete of the Year in cross country three times. He is a two-time GLVC champion on the cross country course in addition to a four-time conference champion on the track.

Nolan, who is working on his master’s degree in sport management, also moves onto the men’s national ballot for Academic All-America consideration.

Both Comastri and Nolan will be returning to compete for the Screaming Eagles during the 2021-22 seasons. Due to the NCAA’s COVID-19 rules, Comastri still has a year of eligibility remaining in cross country, indoor track & field as well as outdoor track & field; while Nolan has another year of eligibility remaining in both indoor and outdoor track & field.

Vincennes University Is Helping Fuel The Red-Hot Automotive Industry

Vincennes University Is Helping Fuel The Red-Hot Automotive Industry
Going, going, gone. New and used vehicles in the United States are selling faster than you can say TikTok.
A lack of new and used vehicle inventory is making it difficult for individuals to purchase a vehicle, so they’re keeping the one they already have.
The limited vehicle inventory is due to pent-up customer demand as the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as a global computer chip shortage, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association. The NADA reports 4.6 million vehicles have not been produced globally as a result of the chip shortage as of late June.
There is also a huge demand for automotive technicians and collision repair technicians, which translates into career security and an abundance of employment opportunities in these fields.
Ruxer Ford Lincoln Vice-President and Partner Phil Abbett said, “It used to be come see me when you have a couple of years of experience, and now we’re trying to identify high school students who are going into college programs. A lot of people coming out of college programs are already hired before they finish the program.”
Vincennes University has a lengthy history of preparing students for in-demand careers in a competitive automotive industry. It has had an excellent reputation for producing quality Automotive Technology graduates since 1964. In addition to Automotive Technology, VU offers an associate degree in Collision Repair and Refinishing.
The TechForce Foundation revealed 642,000 auto/diesel/collision techs are needed between 2020 and 2024 to replace individuals retiring or leaving the industry and to handle new growth. The Foundation cites in a report released last year that there is both increasing demand for new professional techs and a declining supply of new techs entering the industry.
“There are tens of thousands of unfilled openings across this country right now for technicians and body,” Abbett said.
These job vacancies have the potential to greatly impact people who need repairs or work done on their vehicles.
“You’re going to start seeing places cutting (business) hours, the wait times for getting repairs are going to be longer, and people may have to start driving farther away to get their vehicles
worked on,” Abbett said.
Ruxer Ford Lincoln Collision Repair Technician and 2007 VU graduate Neil Hellman personally attests to the fact that demand is high for technicians.
“I’m confident and don’t have a doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t have the slightest problem moving to any state and finding a shop to work,” he said. “There’s great potential in this field in the availability of jobs and the potential income. I wouldn’t have ever thought you can make the money you make in this field.”
Abbett knows technicians who are making between $80,000 and $120,000.
The average annual wage for automotive service technicians and mechanics was $44,050 in May 2020, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, with the top 10 percent making more than $71,940. For automotive body and related repairers, the annual median wage was $45,350 in May 2020 with the highest 10 percent earning more than $56,760.
Today’s technicians are increasingly skilled and tech-savvy. They are closer to computer hackers than blue-collar wrench hands, according to Industry Tap. Vehicles have become more high-tech with the addition of self-driving automobiles, hybrid engines, 360-degree cameras,
advanced driver assist systems, built-in Wi-Fi, and so forth.
VU Dean of Technology and VU Automotive Technology graduate Ty Freed said, “Automotive and Collision Repair technicians are in high demand. Many experienced technicians are retiring, and new technicians are not entering the profession in numbers to fill the void. Modern automobiles are incredibly sophisticated and require a diverse skill set to make quality repairs. The VU Automotive Technology and Collision Repair programs prepare students to make quality automotive repairs, become problem solvers, communicate effectively, and become valuable members of their communities.”
Employers prefer that automotive service technicians, mechanics, and collision technicians complete a program or training at a postsecondary institution, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Abbett agrees. He earned an associate degree from VU in Automotive Technology in 1997.
VU’s Automotive Technology program prepares students for successful employment by helping them develop critical repair skills in a hands-on learning environment where they utilize specialized diagnostic equipment, service tools, and information systems.
Students in VU’s Collision Repair and Refinishing program learn the skills needed to work in collision repair facilities by training on modern equipment in a recently expanded Collision Repair Building. They also become well versed in repair estimating and insurance aspects of collision repair.
Collision repair and refinishing are critical since vehicles are such a large investment for people, and they are keeping their vehicles longer than ever.
Students enrolled in the Automotive Technology and Collision Repair and Refinishing programs are provided with true, real-world experience. As part of their coursework, they perform service work and collision repair on vehicles owned by Vincennes University employees and students.
Access to Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification testing, Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) certification testing, and other specialized industry training is provided to students.
“My VU Collision Repair and Refinishing degree gave me the tools and skillset to be able to pick up on the trade pretty quick once I started working at a shop,” Hellman said.
VU offers associate degrees and certificates in a wide range of Transportation Technology programs. Explore the programs and the College of Technology by clicking HERE.
