Ace Ace Baby Race to take place on Sunday

UE Athletics has teamed up with The Women’s Hospital to announce the first annual Ace Ace Baby Race.

A group of 15 babies will have a crawl race at halftime on Sunday, February 17 when the Purple Aces men’s basketball team faces UNI inside the Ford Center.  Tip is at 3 p.m.

“We love giving back to the community and getting involved in family friendly events. When UE approached us about the idea of sponsoring a baby race during a game, we knew this would be a huge hit in the community, while also aligning with our mission and vision of serving women and their families,” Chris Ryan, CEO of The Women’s Hospital said.

The Women’s Hospital will be the game sponsor and will feature some fun giveaway items for fans as they enter the arena.

Sunday’s competition will feature 15 babies that were selected from The Women’s Hospital social media pages.

“The baby crawl was a promotion that I wanted to bring to the Aces as soon as I started. I got the idea from other Learfield IMG College properties, and it has been a lot of fun working with the marketing team at The Women’s Hospital,” Brandon McClish – GM Purple Aces Sports Properties said.  “The half-time promotion will involve profiles for the contestants, officials, and our on-court emcee calling the action.”

0

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler signed a first-time Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National FFA Organization to advance educational outreach for EPA’s ongoing environmental and public health initiatives.

“Today’s MOU will expand EPA’s environmental education programs to an important and diverse new audience: the National FFA Organization’s 670,000 student members,” said EPA Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “The MOU reflects the importance of agricultural practices in promoting environmental stewardship and builds on our recent collaborations with America’s farmers and ranchers.”

“This agreement between FFA and EPA recognizes how FFA members are ready to be leaders in environmental fields,” said National FFA President Luke O’Leary.“Whether it’s studying pH levels in soil or running experiments to reduce water runoff, we’re active stewards in preserving and enhancing the resources needed to grow our food.”

EPA will continue to work with FFA to ensure environmental education is learned and practiced by all Americans to achieve EPA’s mission of protecting human health and the environment.

UE to Participate in CIC’s Annual Diversity, Civility, and Liberal Arts Institute

0

The University of Evansville was one of 25 member institutions of the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) selected to participate in CIC’s second annual Diversity, Civility, and the Liberal Arts Institute in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 2-5. The event is designed to help faculty members and administrators address issues of diversity, civility, inclusion, and student unrest on campus more effectively.

Each institution will send a team of two faculty leaders and two senior administrators. Representing UE will be the University’s chief diversity officer LaNeeca Williams, dean of the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Science Ray Lutgring, department chair for philosophy and religion Valerie Stein, and associate professor of psychology Maggie Stevenson. Johnna Denning-Smith, UE director of grants and sponsored programs, facilitated the grant-writing process.

The institute is directed by Beverly Daniel Tatum, president emerita of Spelman College and a leading scholar of race and higher education. During the institute, prominent humanities and social science scholars will present key research and recent developments in their fields and apply these concepts to understanding student concerns and deepening the educational experience. The goal is to encourage thoughtful campus discussions that engage students’ minds as well as their emotions.

Each participating college will develop plans to incorporate the institute content into specific courses, advising and counseling services, and co-curricular activities at their institutions.

Participants for the 2019 Institute were selected through a highly competitive application process.

According to CIC president Richard Ekman, “the volume, quality, and urgency of the proposals reflect the commitment of independent colleges and universities to promoting diversity and civility, not just on their campuses but across the nation.”

The institute is supported by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
