University of Evansville to Offer Master of Science in Leadership
The University of Evansville has announced that it will launch a new Master of Science in Leadership program this fall. The two-year hybrid program, combining periodic on-campus weekend instruction with online instruction, provides an opportunity for working professionals to grow and advance in leadership skills that are pivotal to success in today’s dynamic work environments.Â
The 36-credit-hour program will develop innovative and visionary leaders who will be prepared to take their organizations to the next level. The program offers a focused core curriculum in the foundations of leadership but allows the opportunity for students to select a specific concentration area. Current concentration areas focus on higher education, nonprofit leadership, and public health.Â
 “The curriculum allows students to set individualized leadership development goals and to achieve them through the knowledge, skills, insights, and experience they gain as a part of the program,†says Jill Griffin, UE’s faculty program director. “Developing and honing skills in teamwork, communication, cultural competence, visioning, innovation, and change management, our graduates will be prepared for the complexities of leadership in today’s dynamic workplaces.†Â
The hybrid cohort program offers competitive pricing for adult learners at $525 per credit hour. Applications are now being accepted for a Fall 2018 start for those individuals looking to gain knowledge and the skillsets necessary to grow personally and professionally. Â
“The hybrid format will provide the flexibility for our working adults to advance their careers while still maintaining a good work-life balance,†says Lindsay Roberts, UE director of adult education. “The students will be on campus for instruction on pre-scheduled Saturdays and will also complete online learning components.â€
For more information about the innovative curriculum or application details, please contact the Center for Adult Education at 812-488-2981 or cae@evansville.edu.Â

With a membership over 400+ from all over the state of Indiana, the conference looks to combine education, professional development, and technical proficiency during their time in Evansville. The two-and-a-half-day conference will generate approximately 400+ sleeping room nights.
“We are thrilled to host IEHA’s Fall Education Conference in September,†said Alexis Berggren, general manager, for Old National Events Plaza. “We look forward to welcoming their attendees back to Evansville, a destination that the organization has not met in for 20 years, and I am confident that our community will deliver an outstanding experience that we hope will lead to more meetings and partnership with IEHA in the future!â€
Conventioneers traveling all over the state to attend the conference are employed by federal, state and local governments, schools, medical care facilities, industries, trade organizations, solid waste districts and are students and educators of environmental health.
“After many hours of careful consideration, we are pleased to announce Evansville as the home of our 68th annual Fall Education Conference! Evansville offers us excellent opportunities and amenities for our conference and its attendees as well as a chance to see how the city has changed in the 20 years since we were last there. We want to thank everyone who has helped with the selection effort thus far, and thank them for our continued help in making our long-awaited return to Evansville a huge success!â€Â – JoAnn Xiong Mercado, IEHA President-Elect
The annual conference aims to further promote the organization’s mission: to promote, preserve and protect environmental public health in the state of Indiana, and to encourage a spirit of cooperation among all environmental health stakeholders while serving its members in the regulatory, industry, and academic communities.
Indiana Environmental Health Association has planned a full conference schedule in hopes to further accomplish their key goals. IEHA works closely with other Environmental and Public Health Protection Agencies and Departments to control environmental hazards and to attain optimum human health.
