Vincennes University Introduces Mask-Optional Policy For ALL Campuses And Sites

0
VINCENNES, Ind., February 28, 2022 – Vincennes University is easing its COVID-19 protocols by adopting a mask-optional policy for students, faculty, staff, and visitors at all VU campuses and sites throughout Indiana, effective at 5 p.m. Eastern on Monday, February 28.
Individuals have the option to wear masks or face coverings if they choose.
VU is phasing out its mandatory indoor masking policy aligning with CDC guidelines. The CDC relaxed mask recommendations last Friday for most Americans with the release of a color-coded map to help determine if individuals should wear masks indoors in their area. VU COVID-19 case counts also remain low and cases are declining statewide.
The University encourages masking in some cases. Contact tracing will continue. Room dividers and Plexiglass barriers will remain in some areas.
University officials will continue monitoring guidance and recommendations from the CDC, Indiana Department of Health, and relevant county health departments, and they will revisit virus-related policies as the public health situation warrants.
“We thank everyone for their continued efforts to keep our University community safe and healthy during the pandemic,” VU President Dr. Chuck Johnson said. “Face masks and coverings have proven highly effective in helping to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We will, however, no longer require the wearing of them inside our buildings and facilities. In some instances, mask-wearing and social distancing will continue to be encouraged as outlined by the CDC’s latest guidance. Vaccines remain our best protection against COVID-19. Everyone in the VU Community is encouraged to be vaccinated or get a booster dose as soon as they are eligible.”

FFA

Last month featured National FFA Week and FFA Chapters across the state and nation celebrated by hosting events to educate, advocate and celebrate the agriculture industry and the FFA Organization.

In honor of National FFA Week, 115 Indiana FFA members met in the Statehouse to speak with legislators to promote the student led organization. The members were able to meet and hear from their elected leaders and statewide officials, including Gov. Eric Holcomb and Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch.

Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a proclamation to name Feb. 19-26, 2022 FFA Week in recognition of all the work the Indiana FFA Organization, agriculture educators and FFA advisors do to cultivate the next generation of agriculturists for our state.

Additionally, the Indiana FFA Association received a house concurrent resolution highlighting the impact of the FFA Organization, which is preparing more than 11,500 members in 91 of Indiana’s 92 counties for the over 250 unique careers in the food, fiber and natural resource sectors.

McNamara, O’Brien: Grants available to address local health challenges

0

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 28, 2022) –  State Reps. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) and Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville) said they are looking forward to local communities tackling health challenges like diabetes and obesity through a new state grant they helped create.

In 2021, McNamara and O’Brien supported a law creating the Indiana Health Issues and Challenges Grants, which will award $50 million to local and statewide service providers, and planning organizations to address longstanding problems.

Now, the Indiana Department of Health is accepting grant applications, and McNamara said she hopes local providers like health departments, municipalities and nonprofit organizations apply.

“Hoosiers are affected by many chronic health issues, which vary from county to county,” McNamara said. “This grant program is designed to meet the needs of local communities, bettering the health and safety for everyone.”

Funding can be used to prevent or reduce mental and physical health issues for Hoosiers, including in the areas of tobacco use, food insecurity, obesity, lead exposure, hepatitis C, and chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma and cancer.

Applications for Indiana Health Issues and Challenges Grants are due by March 31, 2022, with award notices issued by the Indiana Department of Health by July 1, 2022.

“The Health Issues and Challenges Grants help support the health of our local communities,” O’Brien said. “Now is the time to apply for this amazing opportunity for service providers.”

Eagles grounded by Storm

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball saw its season-opening five-game winning streak snapped by Lake Erie College, 6-3, Monday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. The Screaming Eagles are 5-1 to start the year, while Lake Erie opens spring 1-2.   
 
USI struck first in the fourth inning, scoring twice to take a 2-0 lead. Sophomore third baseman Nolan Cook (Evansville, Indiana) knocked in the first run with an RBI-single before sophomore second baseman Alex Archuleta (Evansville, Indiana) pushed sophomore first baseman Adam Wildeman (Evansville, Indiana) across after hitting in to a double play.
 
The Storm struck for all of their runs in the top of the fifth when they scored six times. USI would get one of the runs back in the bottom of the fifth when senior shortstop Ethan Hunter (Terre Haute, Indiana) scored on a wild pitch for the eventual final 6-3 score.
 
Sophomore right-hander Carter Stamm (Jasper, Indiana) took the loss for the Eagles on the mound. Stamm (1-1) allowed four runs, three earned, on two hits and a walk, while striking out three.
 
Up Next for the Eagles:
 
USI concludes the first home stand of the season with a three-game set versus Trevecca Nazarene University Friday and Saturday at the USI Baseball Field.
 
The Trojans of Trevecca Nazarene are 10-1 overall with all 10 victories coming against GLVC competition through the first three weeks of the season. Trevecca Nazarene has won nine-straight after sweeping four from Truman State University last weekend.
 
The Trojans hold the all-time series lead, 6-4, following a series sweep of the Eagles in Nashville, Tennessee, last spring.
