University of Evansville Pioneers Cybersecurity Education with First-of-Its-Kind Degree in the Tri-State

EVANSVILLE, IND. (01/09/2025) As the digital world expands, the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals has never been greater. The University of Evansville (UE) is stepping up to meet this critical demand with the launch of its Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity program, starting in Fall 2025. This groundbreaking program-the first in the Tri-State region-positions UE as a leader in Southern Indiana for computer science, programming, software development, and cybersecurity education.

The Cybersecurity program, housed in UE’s School of Engineering and Computer Science, will offer students hands-on training in critical areas such as ethical hacking, network security, and cyber forensics. Students will gain hands-on experience through real-world projects, preparing them for successful careers in this dynamic field.

With a focus on experiential learning, and small class sizes, the program is designed to prepare graduates for impactful careers in one of the fastest-growing fields of the 21st century. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts a 32% increase in cybersecurity jobs from 2022 to 2032, which is substantially higher than the 3% average growth rate for all U.S. jobs.

“We are excited to introduce the B.S. in Cybersecurity degree program, which reflects our commitment to providing cutting-edge education that meets the needs of today’s job market. Through this innovative program, UE is changing lives and changing the world by equipping students with the skills to protect digital infrastructures, combat cyber threats, and contribute to global security,” said Dr. Suresh Immanuel, Associate Dean for the School of Engineering and Computer Science. “Cybersecurity is no longer a luxury-it is a necessity in today’s interconnected world. With this program, UE is equipping students to lead the charge and ensure they are ready to lead in an evolving and essential field. Our graduates will be well-prepared to tackle the challenges of cybersecurity and make significant contributions to the protection of digital assets”

THUNDERBOLTS TRAVEL TO PEORIA THIS WEEKEND FOR PAIR OF GAMES
 
Evansville, In.:  Following a 3-2 victory at Birmingham in Evansville’s only game of the past weekend, the Thunderbolts will travel to Peoria for a pair of games against the Rivermen this Friday and Saturday night.
Week In Review:
 
                With Friday’s scheduled game at Birmingham postponed due to winter weather conditions, Saturday night saw the only meeting of the weekend between the Thunderbolts and Bulls in Pelham.  Evansville grabbed a 3-0 lead off first period goals from Logan vande Meerakker and Matthew Hobbs, supplemented by Brendan Harrogate’s goal in the second period.  The Bulls struck early in the third period on a goal from Drake Glover and in the fading seconds of regulation from Carson Rose, but the 3-2 Thunderbolts lead stuck to the end buzzer.
The Week Ahead:
                The Thunderbolts will take on the Peoria Rivermen in Peoria this coming Friday and Saturday night, both games beginning at 7:15pm CT.  Fans can watch the action on FloHockey with a paid subscription or can listen online for free on the Thunderbolts Mixlr Channel.  There will also be away game watch parties at Parkway Pizza on Evansville’s West Side.
Coming Soon:
                The Thunderbolts return to Ford Center on Friday, January 24th for Faith Night, presented by Oakland City University, and Saturday, January 25th for Star Wars Night, against the Pensacola Ice Flyers on both nights.  Faith Night will feature a postgame performance from Austin Turner, a specialty Thunderbolts/OCU puck giveaway for the first 500 fans in the building, a free suit rental giveaway from Men’s Wearhouse for one lucky high school student, and Oakland City University will be giving away $48,000 scholarships to three high school students.  A link for students to sign up to win one of the scholarships will be available soon.  Star Wars Night will feature specialty game-worn Star Wars-themed jerseys which will be auctioned off immediately following the game.  Replica Star Wars jerseys will also be available at the Thunderbolts Merch Stand.  Characters from Star Wars will be present in the lobby and around the building throughout the game, and fans are encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters. The first 100 kids in attendance will also receive a blow-up light saber.
Scouting the Opponent:
  • Peoria Rivermen:
    • Record: 18-4-4, 40 Points, 2nd Place
    • Leading Goal Scorer: Jordan Ernst (21 Goals)
    • Leading Point Scorer: Alec Baer (40 Points)
    • Primary Goaltender: Colby Muise (16-2-3, .930 Save %)
    • Thunderbolts Record vs PEO: 1-4-1
                The Rivermen were to play in Huntsville this past Friday and Saturday night, however both games were postponed due to the inclement winter weather conditions, therefore Peoria did not take ice for any game action this past week.

Men’s basketball drops contest at UNI

Aces back home on Saturday to face Belmont

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Four Northern Iowa players reached double figures on Tuesday as the Panthers finished with a 73-56 victory over the University of Evansville men’s basketball team inside the McLeod Center.

UE was led by Tayshawn Comer’s 18 points.  He added 7 boards and 4 steals.  Cam Haffner finished with 13 points while leading the Purple Aces with 8 caroms.  Tytan Anderson tallied 15 points for UNI while Ben Schweiger chipped in a double-double, wrapping the day up with 10 points and 12 boards.

“We missed a lot of easy shots around the rim and picked up several undisciplined fouls,” UE head coach David Ragland said.  “It will be good for us to get back home, be on a normal schedule, and be able to work on things in practice.”

Josh Hughes got the Aces on the board with an early 2-0 lead as both offenses struggled in the early moments.  Following a 1-for-6 start from the field, UNI held a 5-3 lead six minutes in.  Evansville started 1-for-7 with three turnovers before Tayshawn Comer converted a 3-point play to return the lead to UE at 7-5.

Comer quickly struck again on the next Aces possession. Following a 3-point make by UNI, Comer hit from outside to put Evansville back in front at 10-8 inside of the 13-minute mark.  Over the next 10 minutes, Northern Iowa made its move, outscoring UE by a 19-2 margin to go up 27-12.  The offense for UE struggled over that time frame, going 1-for-13 from the field with three turnovers.

Connor Turnbull ended the stretch with a basket as the Aces cut into the deficit over the final minutes, trailing by 14 at the half – 32-18.  Evansville shot 22.2% in the half while turning it over eight times.

It was Turnbull opening the second-half scoring, turning the feed from Tanner Cuff into a dunk, but the Panthers quickly got back on track, opening up their largest lead of 19 points.  A free throw by UNI established a 43-24 advantage inside of 15 minutes remaining.  Evansville did not give up as Cam Haffner’s triple two minutes later got his squad within 14 points at 45-31.

With 7:01 remaining, a field goal from Comer got the Aces even closer at 53-40.  The tides quickly turned back in UNI’s favor as they responded with a 9-1 stretch to take their largest lead of 21 points.  Their lead grew to 23 before Evansville closed to make it a final of 73-56.  UNI shot 40.7% while holding the Aces to 36.4%.  After scoring 18 in the first half, UE erupted for 38 points in the second half while shooting 50% in the final 20 minutes.

Following the road trip, UE is back home for its next two games, beginning on Saturday with a 1 p.m. game against Belmont inside the Ford Center.

It is with a full heart and bittersweet emotion that I share my decision to retire from the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, effective July 1, 2025.
