Vincennes University partners with Marian University to shape Riverside Education Innovation District in Indianapolis

08/26/2025

INDIANAPOLIS, August 25, 2025 – Vincennes University is collaborating with Marian University as an educational partner in the Riverside Education Innovation District (REID) initiative in the Near Northwest Area (NNW) of Indianapolis. As part of a major effort to expand educational access in the area, the initiative will repurpose the historic and former Larue Carter campus into a hub for lifelong learning that supports literacy, early childhood education, and workforce development.

VU’s role includes creating a career and technical education (CTE) center for high school students. The center expects to offer more than 10 essential CTE opportunities to enhance educational and economic outcomes in one of the most economically disadvantaged areas of Indianapolis.

VU President Dr. Chuck Johnson said, “Vincennes University is honored to partner with Marian University, local schools, workforce development organizations, and industry leaders to be part of a bold and transformative initiative that will empower students and communities in the Near Northwest Indianapolis area. Partnerships such as this are vital for building our state’s bright economic future and creating opportunities for Hoosiers of all generations. With this exciting opportunity, Vincennes University aims to work alongside President Elsener and Marian University to help build an even stronger future for Near Northwest Indianapolis and the entire region.”

The partnership between higher education institutions exemplifies a powerful commitment to community enhancement through education.

Marian University President, Daniel J. Elsener shared, “We are honored to welcome Vincennes University to the Near Northwest Area as a critical part of the Riverside Education Innovation District initiative. When we shared our vision with President Johnson, Vincennes immediately stepped forward to help make it a reality. Vincennes’ new career and technical education programs will create opportunity and upward mobility for students and families in the area.”

VU anticipates that high schools in Indianapolis will send hundreds of students to its CTE center, which aligns with new Indiana high school diploma requirements. Students will gain crucial skills needed to be career-ready for today’s job market, with dual credit and training available in demand fields such as automotive technology and repair, welding, advanced manufacturing, precision machining, cybersecurity, and law enforcement.

VU Associate Provost of K-12 Programs and Partnerships Dr. Lori Pence said, “By focusing on high-demand fields, we are dedicated to equipping students with the skills and knowledge they need to make impactful contributions in their chosen professions. We commit to delivering an innovative blend of comprehensive training, immersive hands-on experiences, and access to cutting-edge industry insights. Our goal is to empower students to excel in their educational and career aspirations and emerge as leaders in their community and region.”

Broadening partnerships with existing educational partners to offer dual credit in carpentry, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical is also part of VU’s plans to support the REID initiative’s goals of increasing lifetime educational attainment in the area. In addition, the University envisions utilizing its facilities for adult education programs outside of traditional school hours and for apprenticeship programs with major companies in the Indianapolis area.

Marian held a construction kick-off event at the former hospital campus in July.

VU will occupy two dedicated buildings on the Cold Spring Road property, marking the University’s first major site near downtown Indianapolis. It aims to begin CTE training and education programming by the fall of 2027.

The VU-Marian collaboration represents an innovative initiative to provide students and communities in the Near Northwest Area with accessible educational resources that promote career readiness, economic development, and life-changing opportunities.

Arrest Made in Altercation Involving a Discharged Handgun

08/25/2025

0

Around 3:30 a.m. on August 24, officers were dispatched to a general complaint of individuals blocking vehicles near the intersection of Kentucky Avenue and Gum Street. Shortly after the initial call, additional information was received indicating that a firearm had been discharged. Upon arrival, officers located a spent shell casing, a weapon-mounted flashlight, and a significant amount of blood at the scene. Through statements gathered from witnesses and victims, it was determined that an altercation initially occurred at a separate location between the victim and the offender, Jeron T. Sebree (29). Sebree was told to leave the establishment. Shortly after, the confrontation continued at a secondary location near Kentucky Avenue and Gum Street. There, the same victim became involved in a second altercation, this time with a second offender.

During the second altercation, Sebree intervened, striking the victim multiple times with a handgun. At one point, he ‘cocked’ the weapon. While hitting the victim, the handgun discharged, grazing her in multiple areas. Two additional victims were also grazed by the discharged round, or shrapnel. Despite the firearm discharging, both Sebree and the second offender continued to physically assault the victim. In total, five individuals were identified as victims in the incident, three of whom sustained grazing injuries from the discharged round. Sebree’s actions resulted in injury that posed a substantial risk of death and showed reckless, knowing, and intentional disregard for the safety of others nearby.

Later that same night, during third-shift hours, officers located Sebree’s vehicle parked in a driveway. Upon contact, Sebree surrendered without incident and was transported to EPD headquarters, where he was interviewed by a detective. Following the interview, Sebree was taken to the Vanderburgh County Jail and arrested on charges of aggravated battery (Level 5 felony) and criminal recklessness

(Level 5 felony). This incident is still under investigation and additional arrests may be forthcoming.

Aces Men’s Soccer Earns Road Result at Mercer

08/25/2025

MACON, Ga. – Hitting the road for the first time this season, the University of Evansville men’s soccer team earned their second draw of the season, playing the Mercer Bears to a 1-1 final on Sunday afternoon.

For the second game in a row, Evansville fell behind early, as Mercer’s Liam Corr found the back of the net in the 10^th minute of action to give the Bears the lead.

Evansville was quick to equalize, however. Taking control of the ball near midfield, Nacho Garcia (Zaragoza, Spain/UNIR) sent a ball down towards the box, where freshman Devin Shepherd (Denver, Colo./Arapahoe) controlled the ball off a Mercer header and chipped a shot over the head of the Mercer keeper to tie the score at one. The goal, coming in 23^rd minute, was the first of Shepherd’s collegiate career.

The score would remain tied at one going into the half, but the second half saw the Aces take control. Evansville dominated possession throughout the second 45, creating numerous chances, but could not break through to find the winner as the afternoon ended in a 1-1 draw.

“This is a tough place to play,” said UE head coach Robbe Tarver. “Mercer has had a lot of consistently good years and play a tough style.”

“To concede early again and respond to get back into the game, I thought we managed moments well. We just couldn’t find the winner.”

“The energy, the effort, those intangibles – I thought we really owned those moments today. That will really set the foundation for our team this year.”

Evansville out-shot Mercer 10-8 overall, including a 5-2 edge in shots on goal. Tancredi Fadda (Milan, Italy/University of Milan) and Nacho Diaz-Caneja (Coruna, Spain) led the way in shots with two, with each putting one on goal. Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill./Elk Grove) made one save in goal for the Aces.

With the draw, Evansville moves at 0-0-2 on the year. The Aces will return to the pitch on Thursday for a showdown at perennial powerhouse North Carolina. Kick-off is set for 6:30 PM CT from Chapel Hill.

Felix homers twice as Otters take series

08/25/2025

EVANSVILLE, Ind- The Evansville Otters (37-53) bounced back into the win column with a 9-4 victory over the Windy City ThunderBolts (36-54) Sunday afternoon. Today’s win gives them the series win, and the season series win over Windy City.

Joan Gonzalez made his ninth start of the season and delivered another solid outing. He worked through some traffic through four frames stranding six runners and allowing just one run.

The Otters offense came alive in the fourth with some help from a couple hard hits. After a single from JT Benson, LJ Jones reached after a ball got stuck in the glove of a defender. Keenan Taylor hit a double to tie the game followed by Cohen Wilbanks getting hit by a pitch. Justin Felix stepped in and ambushed a first-pitch fastball for Evansville’s second grand slam of the season to jump the Otters out in front 5-1. After a scoreless frame from Gonzalez, Taylor hit a second double to add two more runs to the lead at 7-1.

Gonzalez went out for the sixth but some soft contact and a walk scored a run. The bases were loaded and Nick McAuliffe slammed the door, getting three outs while allowing just one inherited run to score on a sacrifice fly.

Evansville entered the bottom of the sixth with a 7-3 lead and Felix added to it with his second home run of the game. Five separate Otters now have had multi-homer games this season.

Jackson Malouf started the seventh and after a single and two quick outs, two singles loaded the bases. Alex Valdez got the final out of the seventh, allowing a run to score but maintaining an 8-4 lead for Evansville.

After a couple of walks in the seventh, Taylor hit his third double and recorded his fourth RBI to extend Evansville’s lead to 9-4. Valdez came back and worked a scoreless eighth, then Gunnar Dennis finished it up with three strikeouts to secure the Otters’ 9-4 win.

Evansville has now won six of Gonzalez’s last seven starts and he has earned five wins in that time. Taylor’s four and Felix’s five RBIs combined for all of Evansville’s runs in today’s ballgame.

The Otters get a rest day on Monday before hosting Florence for the final three games at Bosse Field in 2025. The 6:35 p.m. CT game is the final Fifth Third Bank $2 Tuesday of the season with gates opening at 5:30.

Eagles find the net three times Sunday, edged by Zips

AKRON, Ohio – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer found the scoring column with a trio of goals at the University of Akron on Sunday afternoon, but it was not enough as the Screaming Eagles were edged 5-3 in an offensive shootout against the Zips.

For the third straight outing, USI totaled a flurry of shots with 17 attempts on Sunday. Five were on goal, with three going in. Redshirt sophomore forward Eva Boer led the team with four shots and two on target, including the first tally of the season. Freshman midfielder Haley Kocher was second on the team with three shots, including one on goal.

Akron recorded its five goals on 10 total shots and six on frame.

After both teams came out trying to settle into the match and a pair of early shots by Akron, the host Zips struck first with a header goal in the 15th minute to grab a 1-0 lead.

Five minutes later, USI answered and evened the game, 1-1. A cross that deflected off the post and was tapped back by sophomore forward Josie Pochocki was then headed into the net by Boer for the first goal of the season for the Screaming Eagles.

A penalty-kick goal by Akron in the 31st minute put the Zips back in front. Once again, USI had a quick response as freshman defender Tierney Mullady slotted in a corner-kick pass from junior forward Grace Bamber to tie the game, 2-2.

However, Akron went into halftime ahead 3-2 after another goal in the 38th minute.

It was not long into the second half that the Screaming Eagles drew all square at 3-3 when senior forward Peyton Murphy rifled a shot from over 30 yards out into the top corner of the goal with 51:51 on the clock.

The offensive shootout continued as Akron jumped back ahead, 4-3, with a goal nearly 10 minutes later.

USI continued its recent high-shooting prowess from over the last few matches, but the Eagles could not tie the game once more. The Zips added an insurance goal in the 81st minute to seal the win.

The Screaming Eagles return to Strassweg Field for the start of a three-match homestand Thursday when USI hosts Eastern Michigan University at 1 p.m. Thursday’s match can be seen with a subscription to ESPN+.
