Rep. McNamara: Local Graduate Gains Experience At The Statehouse

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 22, 2022) – Mount Vernon High School graduate Emma Yarber is gaining experience as an intern with State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) and her fellow members of the Indiana House of Representatives during the 2022 legislative session.

Yarber, a Mount Vernon resident, is the daughter of Troy and Jamie Yarber. She attends Marian University where she is majoring in political science and minoring in finance, pastoral leadership, and global studies.

“Being a legislative intern for the House has been an incredible opportunity,” Yarber said. “After this internship, I feel prepared and excited to start my career, grow connections and make a real impact just like the Indiana legislators I’ve had the pleasure of serving this session.”

As a legislative intern, Yarber corresponds with constituents through phone calls, letters, and emails, while also staffing committee hearings and floor proceedings.

“Emma has gained invaluable experience communicating with constituents and working with representatives one-on-one,” McNamara said. “I’m excited to see where Emma’s career takes her after this internship.”

Each year, the House of Representatives offers paid internship opportunities to college students, law school students, graduate students and recent college graduates for the duration of the legislative session.

FOOTNOTE: State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) represents House District 76,  which includes portions of Posey and Vanderburgh counties.

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

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.
