UE Announces Increased Salaries and Outcomes for 2018 Graduates

0

A recent survey of the University of Evansville’s 2018 graduating class revealed that 95 percent of graduates were employed or pursuing further education within six months of graduation and the median salary of those employed full time is $52,500.

In comparison, UE’s class of 2017 saw a 94 percent career outcome rate and a $47,750 median salary among those employed.

“This increase can be attributed to the University’s commitment to offering students not only an outstanding educational experience, but also a unique and individualized career planning process,” said Michael Austin, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at UE. “UE takes an active role to help ensure the future success of our students from their first connection with the University to long after graduation.”

UE’s Center for Career Development provides comprehensive services to students throughout their collegiate journey. Through the Career Advantage Program, prospective students have the opportunity to actively evaluate and test career options by taking a career assessment, meeting with a career advising professional, and developing a career action plan. Prospective students can begin the Career Advantage Program during their first visit to UE before even committing to attend.

The survey, a collaborative effort between UE’s Center for Career Development, Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, academic departments, and others, produced career information on 96 percent of the 501 members of the class of 2018.

UE’s career outcome rate of 95 percent stands in contrast to the National Association of Colleges and Employers Career Services Benchmark Survey, which shows an 81.2 percent placement rate nationally for 2017 graduates.

EPA Releases 2018 Power Plant Emissions Demonstrating Continued Progress

0

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released preliminary data on 2018 emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants in the lower 48 states. This data shows a decline in both NOx and SO2 emissions compared to 2017.

“These data show that America is enjoying ever cleaner air as our economy grows, and the U.S. continues as a global leader in clean air progress,” said EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation Bill Wehrum. “Through state and federal fulfillment of the Clean Air Act, and advances by the power sector, we’ve seen significant reductions in key pollutants while electricity generation has increased.”

The data shows a 4 percent decline in NOx emissions compared to 2017, and a 6 percent decline in SO2. Annual CO2 from power plants rose by just 0.6 percent during the same time period, even while electric generation increased by 5 percent.

From 1990-2018, annual emissions of SO2 from power plants fell by 92 percent and annual emissions of NOx from power plants fell by 84 percent. Total 2018 annual emissions were 1.26 million tons for SO2 and 1.02 million tons for NOx.

These data support longer term trends in air quality progress. For example:

  • From 1970 to 2017, the combined emissions of the six key pollutants regulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards dropped by 73 percent, while the U.S. economy grew more than 260 percent and the population continued to expand.
  • Over the last decade, concentrations of sulfur dioxide have fallen by over 75 percent in the U.S.
  • Carbon dioxide emissions from power plants dropped by roughly 20 percent since 2011.
  • For power plants that EPA and states regulate to address cross-border ozone contributions, NOx emissions dropped by over 20 percent between the 2016 and 2018 ozone seasons.

As part of EPA’s commitment to provide the public with access to high quality, relevant and useful information on the power sector, all of the data collected by EPA is posted online and accessible to the public. EPA collects detailed SO2, NOX, and CO2 emission data and other information from power plants across the country, as part of Acid Rain Program, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and the CSAPR Update Rule.

EPA has updated our Power Plant Emission Trends webpage with data from 2018. These pages offer charts, maps and summary tables of the most recent emission data and other information on power plants. Providing the recently reported 2018 emission data from power plants across the country in multiple formats helps the public understand how SO2, NOx and CO2 emissions from power plants are changing and when and where changes have occurred.

This credential provides the foundation for the ‘nursing career ladder.’  The possibilities are endless for these students.

“The College and the community are grateful for the support of Perry County Memorial Hospital. The Health Sciences lab at our Tell City site allows students to complete college classes close to home and connects qualified candidates with the high-demand jobs in our region.”

University of Evansville Alum Rami Malek Wins Best Actor at the Oscars

0

FEBRUARY 24TH, 2019 AMANDA PORTER INDIANA

The University of Evansville community is celebrating the achievements of one of its own. 2003 UE graduate Rami Malek is nominated for the best actor award for his portrayal of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Sterling Square hosted an Oscar watch party featuring food and desserts. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the university’s new lab theatre.

“It also serves us very well in recruiting purposes,” says UE theatre director Sharla Cowden.

“We audition over 22 hundred students every year. You accept only 40 in the first year class, so we really feel this will bow well for us on a national level too, being able to improve the quality of students that come to the university.”

In addition to watching the Oscars, patrons played games including guessing who would win in each category.

Friday morning, February 22, Indiana State Police All Crimes Policing (A.C.P.) Squad initiated a criminal investigation after receiving information that Kayla Nation, 33, was allegedly selling meth from her Evansville apartment located at 1422 Adams Avenue Apartment A.
