University of Evansville Receives $147,000 Bequest to Support Carson Center and Establish Nursing Scholarship

The University of Evansville (UE) is pleased to announce a generous $147,000 bequest from the estate of Marjorie A. Vogel, a 1945 alumna.

This contribution will support the upkeep of Carson Center’s athletic facilities and establish the Marjorie Vogel Endowed Scholarship in Nursing.

Ms. Vogel earned her bachelor’s degree from UE’s Dunigan Family School of Nursing and dedicated over 30 years to serving the local medical community, concluding her career at UE’s Student Health Clinic. A devoted fan of UE men’s basketball, she rarely missed a home game.

In her gift, Marjorie recognized the value of excellent athletic facilities for student-athletes by directing a portion of the funds to maintain Carson Center. The remainder will create an endowed nursing scholarship, reflecting her own experiences in UE’s nursing program and her commitment to helping future students in need.

The University is deeply thankful for Ms. Vogel’s generosity, which will benefit both student-athletes and aspiring nurses for years to come.

As we gear up for the holidays, it is important to be mindful of the dangers of drunk driving and the impact it has on you or your loved ones. Whether you’re driving, riding or hosting, use these tips to keep you and others safe during this high-traffic time:
• Plan for a sober ride home and if you need to, designate someone to hold you accountable.
• If you choose to drink, don’t drive impaired. Call a sober friend, rideshare or taxi, or take public transportation to get home safely.
• If you’re hosting and see someone who is about to drive impaired, take their keys and help them get home safely.
The Evansville Police Department would like to wish everyone a Safe and Happy Holiday season!

THUNDERBOLTS BEGIN WEEKEND WITH 3-1 WIN IN QUAD CITY
 
Moline, Ill.:  The Thunderbolts got off to a solid start in their first of three games in three nights against Quad City, winning 3-1 over the Storm in Thursday night’s Boxing Day matchup in Moline.  The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Saturday, December 28th against the Quad City Storm at 7:05pm CT.
                Evansville picked up the first lead of the night at 13:04, as Anthony Hora deked past two Storm defenders and goaltender Brent Moran to score a highlight reel goal, assisted by Brendan Harrogate and Bronson Adams.  1:39 into the second period, the lead was doubled to 2-0 as Matt Dorsey scored unassisted off a power move from the far wall all the way to the net, tucking it past Moran to score.  The Storm got on the board at 7:14 of the third period as Jordan Henderson scored as the trailer off the rush to make it a 2-1 game, and the Storm nearly tied the game with roughly five minutes remaining, as a shot from the near side went off the inside of the goalpost.  In the fading seconds, Evansville put the game away as Logan vande Meerakker scored an unassisted empty net goal with 30 seconds to go, and Evansville was able to pick up the 3-1 victory to open the three game weekend series.
                Hora, Dorsey, and Vande Meerakker each finished with a goal, while Ty Taylor finished with 23 saves on 24 shots on goal to earn his 4th win of the season.  The Thunderbolts and Storm meet again on Friday night at Vibrant Arena, face-off set for 7:10pm CT.
