FITZLAFF TO PARTICIPATE IN CONGRESSIONAL FORUM

0

K. Richard Fitzlaff, the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for U.S. Congress in the Eighth Congressional District, will participate in an Oct. 3 candidate forum, sponsored by the League of Women Voters.

The forum will occur from 5:30-7 p.m. CDT Oct. 3 at the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library McCullough Library.

All candidates have been invited and will be asked questions compiled by the League of Women Voters and audience members.

“This is a great opportunity for voters to hear from their candidates and how we can earn your votes,” Fitzlaff said. “I have offered my opponents to debate anytime, anywhere. I am ready and willing to face the hard questions from voters because it is you who I seek to serve in Congress. I thank the League of Women Voters for their invitation and eagerly look forward to another opportunity to discuss my vision with the voters and the other candidates who attend.”

0
 
Evansville, In.: The Evansville Thunderbolts and Head Coach/Director of Hockey Operations Jeff Bes are pleased to announce the signing of forward Vili Vesalainen for the 2024-25 season.  The Thunderbolts begin the 2024-25 season at Ford Center on Friday, October 18th as they host the Knoxville Ice Bears.
                Vesalainen is the first-ever Thunderbolts signee from Finland, hailing from the city of Jyväskylä.  Vesalainen played most of the first 4 seasons of his junior hockey career for his hometown team JYP Jyväskylä’s junior programs at the U16 through U20 levels between 2012-2016, followed by one final full season of junior hockey with Jukurit’s U20 team in 2016-17.  In 2017-18, Vesalainen turned pro with D-Kiekko of the Suomi-sarja league, before joining Hermes in 2018-19, beginning with their U20 team and moving up to their professional club in the Mestis league later in the year.  After returning to D-Kiekko in 2019-20 and playing in the II-divisioona circuit with Urho in 2020-21, Vesalainen left Finland to play in Sweden’s Division 2 league in 2021-22 with Nittorps IK and Åmåls SK, scoring 8 goals and 26 points in 22 games with both clubs.  In 2022-23, Vesalainen joined EHC Klostersee of the Germany3 league, scoring 8 goals and 28 points in 39 games, followed by Courchevel-Méribel-Pralognan of the France3 league in 2023-24, scoring 5 goals and 29 points in only 8 games, adding 5 goals and 9 points in 12 playoff games.
                In joining the Thunderbolts, Vesalainen commented: “I’m excited to join the Thunderbolts and take the next step in my career overseas.  I can’t wait to get started and play in Ford Center in front of the great fans!”
                Vesalainen joins previously announced forwards Matthew Hobbs, Derek Contessa, Logan vande Meerakker, Kevin Hu and Adam Keyes, along with defensemen Dillon Hill, Joey Berkopec, Benjamin Lindberg, and Gehrig Lindberg on the roster heading into training camp.

Vincennes University hosts Women IN Tech Symposium and Showcase

0

VINCENNES, Ind. September 25, 2024 – The Vincennes University Information Technology Department hosted a Women IN Tech Symposium and Showcase on Wednesday, Sept. 18, as part of the state of Indiana’s Women IN Tech Week, celebrated from September 15-22, 2024. This dedicated week highlighted the extensive contributions of women in the technology industry and inspires future generations of women to pursue careers in technology fields.

 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports overall employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations from 2022 to 2032, according to the Women IN Tech Week website. About 377,500 openings are projected each year, on average, in these occupations due to employment growth and the need to replace workers who leave the occupations permanently.

 

VU Executive Director of Information Technology and Chief Information Officer Jaci Lederman said, “The Vincennes University Information Technology Department is honored to have hosted such an impactful event, and we hope this symposium will inspire more women to pursue and thrive in careers in technology. Women IN Tech Week is a powerful reminder of the achievements and contributions of women in technology, and this event celebrates their influence while fostering new opportunities for future leaders.”

 

VU’s keynote speaker, Leah Curry, retired Toyota executive and trailblazer in manufacturing and technology, delivered an empowering address to VU students, faculty, staff, and community members at the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center on the Vincennes Campus.

Curry emphasized women’s critical role in driving innovation and reshaping the technology landscape. She urged the audience to step out of their comfort zone.

 

She said, “Push yourself to be uncomfortable and raise your hand for things you don’t know anything about. See what it is about, and if you like it and if it is something you can do.”

 

In addition to Curry’s keynote, Mayor Joe Yochum announced a proclamation from the City of Vincennes.

 

Participants also engaged in an empowering industry panel featuring some of the leading women in technology, including Lederman.

 

“If you are aspiring to do something, do it,” Lederman said. “Don’t follow the crowd. Don’t fear being alone or thinking you’re going to lose your friends. It’s your journey to take.”

 

The panel discussed women’s challenges in the tech industry, shared insights on their success, and highlighted opportunities for the next generation of leaders. The panelists provided inspiration and valuable advice on excelling in the tech industry.

 

The symposium culminated with a Tech Showcase throughout campus, allowing participants to explore the latest technological innovations and engage in hands-on activities. The showcase featured virtual reality demonstrations, gaming programming, collaborative robot demonstrations in the Center for Applied Robotics and Automation (CARA) at VU, and more. These activities showcased emerging technologies and highlighted the many opportunities for women in these areas.

 

The Women IN Tech Symposium and Showcase at VU served as an important platform for education, networking, and empowerment. It celebrated women in technology and encouraged ongoing progress in diversity, inclusion, and innovation across the industry.

Trailblazers fall in Region 24 match at Kaskaskia

0

CENTRALIA, Ill. – The Vincennes University volleyball team had their Region 24 winning streak snapped Tuesday night when the Blazers fell in four sets at Kaskaskia College.

The Blue Angels ended the VU winning streak at 44 matches as Vincennes fell 14-25, 25-18, 20-25, 17-25.

The match started out well for the Trailblazers, building a quick 10-7 lead over Kaskaskia, before the Blue Angels used a pair of big scoring runs to pull away late in the opening set and take set one 25-14 over Vincennes.

VU would look to rebound and even the match in the second set and got off to a great start, growing a big 14-5 early advantage.

Kaskaskia would try to cut into the big deficit down the stretch of the set, but were only able to cut the VU lead down to six as the Blazers took set two 25-18 and evened the match at 1-1.

Vincennes forced a pivotal third set and the momentum would swing back-and-forth throughout most of the set as both teams traded the lead and left the score even at 20-20.

Kaskaskia would close out the third set strong and take a 2-1 match lead by scoring the final five points of the third set to win 25-20.

With their backs against the wall, the Trailblazers refused to give up, battling in the fourth set after falling behind early.

Unfortunately for Vincennes, Kaskaskia was able to make a few more plays late in set four to pull away and ride the home crowd to a 25-17 set four win to take the match 3-1.

“You need to be ready to match the other team’s intensity, especially in their place and we failed to do that tonight,” VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said. “When you fail to do that, you get beat, it’s as simple as that. It’s disappointing that after such a great weekend, we took a couple of steps backwards.”

The Trailblazer offense was led by sophomore Isadora Dias (Rio Grande de Norte, Brazil) who led the Blazers with 13 kills, six digs, two blocks, one set assist and one ace.
