WALMARTÂ Coronavirus (COVID-19) Response Update
VHS WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
The VHS will be closed for a while but they still need donations for the animals.
We rely on donations 100% of the time anyway, but especially during economic crises like this, nonprofit organizations are in immediate jeopardy. Maybe something like, “The animals still need us. Help the VHS through the COVID-19 quarantine by making a donation online today atwww.vhslifesaver.org/donate.â€
Stay at Home Directive from Governor Holcomb
The University of Evansville has put into place policies following the Governor of Indiana’s order for Stay at Home announced on March 23, that is effective at 11:59 p.m. on March 24, 2020 and will continue through at least 11:59 p.m. on April 6, 2020.
The University of Evansville instituted a policy limiting staff on campus as identified in the Governor’s order as specifically defined in Executive Order 20-08. Personnel designated to be on campus will be notified by their supervisors. In compliance with this order, the University closed all access to campus buildings to visitors. This policy follows the announcement to move to online instruction on March 18.
“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab†March 24, 2020
“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab†March 24, 2020
“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jabâ€Â was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE†or “Readers Forum†columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE†columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB† column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB†AND “MIDDLE JAB†AND “RIGHT JABâ€Â several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB†is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB†is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

Little named 2nd-team NABC All-District
University of Southern Indiana junior forward Emmanuel Little was named National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) second-team Midwest All-District in a vote of the region’s coaches. The award is the first of Little’s career at USI.
Little led the Screaming Eagles with 16.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. He shot 50.6 percent from the field and posted a team-best 10 double-doubles. The junior forward also recorded a career-high 31 points in the 2019-20 regular season finale versus the University of Indianapolis.
In his third season, Little became the 21st Eagle to surpass 1,000 career points when he scored 29 points in the victory at Lindenwood University in February and eventually would become the seventh Eagle to have 1,000 or more points and 600 or more rebounds in his career. The Indianapolis, Indiana, native finished the season ranked 13th all-time in scoring (1,169 points) and fifth all-time in rebounds (715 rebounds).
Little and the Eagles finished the 2019-20 campaign, 22-8 overall and 13-7 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. USI reached the semifinals of the GLVC Tournament and was slated to appear in the NCAA II Midwest Regional before it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 Weekly Update for Monday, March 23
As we enter this second week of moving to a virtual environment, I want to provide you with some updates that are important for all of us-students, faculty and staff. I realize this shift has been sudden and is challenging for all of us. But I want you to know that I, and many others across this University, are doing all we can to help make this transition as smooth as possible.
First, as new information and resources become available, we’ll share those in a new section of our website titled Weekly Updates. Please take a few minutes to visit this page. You will also receive an email each week when information has been updated. I am also working on new ways to keep in touch with all of you, including video messages, and hope to begin those as early as this week.
The level of support I’ve seen and the stories I’m hearing about our campus community coming together to support each other in this time of need are truly uplifting.
Stay safe, stay calm and continue to care for each other. Together we will get through this.
