0
U E

AACSB International (AACSB)-the world’s largest business education network-recognized the University of Evansville’s Schroeder School of Business among 25 business schools as highlights of its Innovations That Inspire member challenge. An annual initiative, the challenge recognizes institutions from around the world that serve as champions of change in the business education landscape. This year’s theme, “Catalysts for Innovation,” emphasizes business education’s efforts to elevate entrepreneurial thinking and new business creation.

The Schroeder School is recognized for its Access to Capital and Expertise for Emerging Entrepreneurs (ACE3) program, which is sponsored, funded, and co-managed by Old National Bank. Students in the program manage a $100,000 portfolio, which offers microloans to women and minority owned businesses. Students interface with clients, review business plans, and serve as underwriters for loans.

“The demand for innovation that engages experts across disciplines and addresses the needs of both local and global communities has never been more apparent than in these unprecedented times,” said Thomas R. Robinson, president and CEO of AACSB. “We are honored to feature the Schroeder School for its valuable role in elevating entrepreneurship through research, teaching, and community engagement.”

Now in its fifth year, the Innovations That Inspire challenge has highlighted more than 120 business school efforts that exemplify forward-looking approaches to education, research, community engagement or outreach, and leadership. To date, members of AACSB’s Business Education Alliance have shared nearly 1,000 innovations, creating a robust repository in AACSB’s DataDirect system to inform and inspire fellow members and the industry.

EPA and Federal Partners Commemorate 10-year Anniversary of Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

0
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) joined federal partners—including the U.S. Coast Guard, Department of the Interior, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—in commemorating the 10-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig led to the largest marine oil spill in American history. Eleven men lost their lives and 17 other individuals were injured. On this 10th anniversary, EPA is honoring the lives lost and injured, acknowledging the damage done to the ecosystem and Gulf Coast, and applauding the incredible restoration that has happened in the Gulf of Mexico.

“I want to acknowledge and thank those EPA employees, as well as those from our sister agencies and state and local partners, who responded to the Deep Water Horizon spill 10 years ago. The men and women who responded,  many working for months on end on the response and cleanup efforts, are true hero’s,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler.

From the moment the Deepwater Horizon oil spill occurred in 2010, EPA was an active participant in response activities led by the U.S. Coast Guard, including collecting air and water quality samples. Over 100,000 environmental samples were taken by EPA and others, and these data are used to inform the restoration work currently underway in the Gulf of Mexico. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill impacted a wide array of natural resources like coral, fish, wetlands, beaches, and birds, as well as economic and recreational resources in the Gulf. One way that EPA now contributes its unique scientific, policy, and legal expertise to restore the northern Gulf ecosystem is as a Trustee under the Oil Pollution Act’s Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) and restoration program. In the 10 years since the spill approximately 200 projects—valued at $1.4 billion—have been approved by the NRDA Trustees to restore injured natural resources.

Additionally, as Chair of the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (RESTORE Council), EPA, under the leadership of Administrator Andrew Wheeler and Associate Deputy Administrator Doug Benevento, works with its partners and the public to develop the best restoration plans and projects possible. For example, the RESTORE Council has approved State Expenditure Plans containing $475 million for projects. EPA has been able to provide expertise to Gulf restoration across many resource areas, including reducing excess nutrients and helping address marine litter. The RESTORE Council 10-year Commemorative Report tells the story of the people who have taken action to meet the restoration challenges and the remarkable achievements realized by their collaborative work.

“The important work of Gulf Coast recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. Certainly, while much positive ground has been covered, many miles remain,” said RESTORE Council Executive Director Ben Scaggs. “At this 10-year milestone, I’m encouraged by the collaboration being demonstrated among the Gulf State Governors and across the Federal Council members. Thanks to that attitude, we’re running this restoration race with a prevailing tailwind.”

Successfully addressing the many challenges facing the Gulf requires sustained efforts and unprecedented collaboration across all levels of government, the private sector, communities and organizations. EPA carries out its NRDA and RESTORE Council responsibilities in partnership with fellow federal and Gulf state trustees and council members to support the ongoing restoration of the Gulf.  Over the last 10 years, EPA and our federal and state co-Trustees and Council members have made significant progress restoring the Gulf of Mexico’s natural resources and building its economy affected by the spill and will work to sustain this progress into the next decade to benefit communities today and in the future.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES 61 NEW COVID-19 DEATHS, UPDATES STATEWIDE CASE COUNT

0

The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today announced that 431 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and private laboratories. That brings to 12,097 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.

 

The new cases and new tests reported today are lower than expected due to a technology issue and should not be interpreted as a decline in new infections. The additional positive cases not included in today’s report will be captured in the coming days and reflected appropriately.

 

A total of 630 Hoosiers have died to date. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH; the deaths reported today occurred between April 7 and April 20.

 

To date, 67,264 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 64,649 on Monday.

 

Marion County had the most new cases, at 133. Other counties with more than 10 new cases were Allen (11), Cass (20), Elkhart (14), Grant (19), Hamilton (17), Hendricks (12), Johnson (24), Lake (49), St. Joseph (31) and Warrick (10). The Lake County totals include results from East Chicago and Gary, which have their own health departments.

 

The complete list of counties with cases is included in the ISDH COVID-19 dashboard at coronavirus.in.gov. Cases are listed by county of residence. Private lab reporting may be delayed and will be reflected in the map and count when results are received at ISDH. The dashboard will be updated at noon each day.

EPA Recognizes Leaders in the Prevention and Diversion of Waste; the 2019 WasteWise National Award Winners

0
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the 2019 winners of the national WasteWise awards. EPA is recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of 11 WasteWise partner organizations.

“As we begin to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, it is fitting to highlight these WasteWise partners for their dedication to waste reduction, environmental stewardship and sustainable materials management,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “These efforts not only provide environmental and cost savings benefits, but they also increase the efficiency of these businesses and organizations positioning them for greater success.”

This year’s winners used innovative best practices and tailored efforts to help them prevent and reduce waste from going into landfills and incinerators, such as:

  • Converting excess materials into new products.
  • Providing specialized training for staff on waste prevention and diversion.
  • Recycling numerous materials including pallets, scrap metal, paper, cardboard boxes, automotive fluids and parts, styrofoam and plastic bags.
  • Composting on-site and returning grass clippings back onto lawns.

One of this year’s winners collected plastic stretch film that was then recycled into trash can liners, which the winner purchased for use on their campus, providing the feedstock and market for that material. Another winner worked with a vendor to convert over 200,000 pounds of unusable liquid soap product into a commercial floor cleaner, achieving source reduction, the highest level of the waste management hierarchy.

WasteWise is one of EPA’s longest-running voluntary programs and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2019. EPA’s WasteWise program encourages organizations to achieve sustainability and to reduce waste. In 2018, our WasteWise partners, including today’s award winners, collectively reported preventing and diverting more than 1.9  million tons of municipal solid waste that would otherwise be disposed in landfills or incinerated, saving close to 100 million dollars in avoided landfill tipping fees. Of this amount, WasteWise partners reported preventing (also called source reducing) more than 890,000 tons of waste, meaning that no waste was created in the first place, EPA’s most preferred waste management method.

Every year EPA recognizes WasteWise partners in several categories who report the best overall improvement in waste prevention and recycling activities when compared to the previous year.

The 2019 national award winners are:

College/University Category

Partner of the Year: Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan

Governor Issues Revised Stay at Home Order

0

Also extends orders limiting state government services and restaurant, bar restrictions

Governor Eric J. Holcomb today issued a revised Stay At Home order that lasts through May 1 and is designed to limit interactions among Hoosiers to increase containment of COVID-19. As of today, 11,686 people have tested positive and 569 people have died from the disease in Indiana. There are now positive tests in 92 of 92 counties. Click here to see the executive order: https://www.in.gov/gov/2384.htm

As a part of this action, Gov. Holcomb also extended through May 1 the orders that limit in-person public activity at state government offices and put restrictions on the operation of restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

“I want to thank Hoosiers in every corner of our state who have stayed socially-distanced and hunkered down. Lives are being saved, and we’re slowing the spread,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Continuing the course at this time is essential to flattening the curve while we also prepare to safely reopen Indiana for business.”

While the Stay At Home order chiefly continues as is, EO 20-22 brings clarity to some essential businesses.

  • As long as sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE), staff and other supplies are available for the COVID-19 response, hospitals should conduct medically necessary procedures, such as those determining cancer diagnosis and cardiac issues, respiratory procedures, and procedures to reduce significant pain or symptoms making quality of life unacceptable.

o   Any restrictions involving medical procedures will be evaluated every seven days for appropriate and timely modifications that could be implemented.

  • Permitted outdoor activity as described in the executive order includes yard work, gardening, planting and landscaping at residential, commercial and industrial properties and farms.

o   Nurseries and garden centers may be open for business as long as they limit the number of customers in their facility at any given time to achieve the Centers for Disease Control’s required social distancing, limit their hours of operation and consider implementing separate operating hours for the elderly and other vulnerable customers, and comply with the social distancing, sanitation and other mitigation measure to protect its employees and the public.

  • Pet grooming at a pet salon, store or mobile unit is permitted.

The Critical Industries Hotline continues to be available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to respond to business and industry questions about whether a business is considered essential. The center may be reached by calling 877-820-0890 or by emailing covidresponse@iedc.in.gov

Answers to frequently asked questions and instructions to file for COVID-19-related unemployment are available at Unemployment.IN.gov.
