UE Planning Purple Visit Days and Open House for the Fall

0

The University of Evansville will host Purple Visit Days and an Open House for prospective students this fall. Purple Visit Days are set for Friday, September 15, and Friday, November 3, while the Open House is planned for Saturday, October 21.

Those attending a Purple Visit Day can sit in on a UE class and meet with a professor to discuss a major. They can learn about campus life by meeting with staff from such areas as student life, career development, and study abroad. Lunch in the UE dining hall and a tour of campus will also be offered. In addition, applied seniors will have the opportunity to take the ACT Residual Test, a campus-based national ACT exam.

Open House attendees can talk to UE faculty, admission counselors, and student life staff. They can take a campus tour led by a UE student and attend information sessions about scholarships and financial aid, study abroad, and UE’s Career Advantage Program. They will also learn about the UE Guarantee – the University’s assurance that UE will provide opportunities, talented faculty, and academic experience that will lead to success while at UE and after graduation. Lunch will be provided.

Individual campus visits can be scheduled throughout the year, and the Office of Admission will be open on select Saturdays throughout the fall.

“This is an exciting time at the University of Evansville,” noted Kenton Hargis, UE’s director of admission. “Recently we introduced several new programs relevant to today’s changing job market in data science, logistics and supply chain management, Spanish medical terminology, ethics and social change, and university studies.”

Other major changes are also taking place at UE, Hargis added.

UE has signed an agreement with Chartwells, a new food service provider who will begin serving the campus community in fall 2017. Chartwells will offer menu items from Chick-fil-A and Starbucks as well as several other new dining options.

Also, the Meeks Family Fieldhouse in UE’s Carson Center is undergoing major renovations. Planned upgrades include a resurfaced women’s basketball floor, new Taraflex floor for volleyball, new bleachers and baskets, chairback seating, upgraded sound system, new main videoboard, score/stat board, LED scoreboard on each sideline, and two video sideline boards. The work will be completed by August 2017, and the gym will host women’s basketball and volleyball games.

For more information on Purple Visit Days, Open Houses, and individual campus visits, please call UE’s Office of Admission at 812-488-2468, or sign up online at www.evansville.edu/visit.

Duval heading back to affiliated baseball with Marlins

0
 The Miami Marlins have signed right-handed pitcher Max Duval.
“I couldn’t be happier for Max,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said. “It’s nice to see his hard work and perseverance pay off.”
Duval, a San Luis Obispo, Calif. native, came to Evansville last season after spending time with the Schaumburg Boomers (2014-15) and Frontier Greys (2015).
He was signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks’ organization midway through the 2016 season and spent time with the Visalia Rawhide (A+), Kane County Cougars (A) and Hillsboro Hops (A-).
In two seasons with the Otters, Duval was 12-3 and had 155 strikeouts. This season, he was 8-2 with a 2.28 ERA after making 14 starts. On Wednesday, he pitched a complete game against Traverse City, finishing with 10 strikeouts in Evansville’s 6-1 win over the Beach Bums.
“We wish him the best of luck with the Marlins organization,” McCauley said. “I’m really appreciative of everything he has done for us this season.”
Duval was named the Frontier League Pitcher of the Week June 26 after he made two starts on the mound the week before and went seven innings in both games.
On June 20, Duval took a no-hitter into the seventh against Gateway in the Otters 6-3 win over the Grizzlies. He finished the game with nine strikeouts.
Duval followed that performance up by throwing a complete-game in a seven-inning contest against Southern Illinois in game one of a doubleheader June 25. In Evansville’s 10-1 triumph over the Miners, Duval gave up an earned run off three hits and struck out 10.
Duval joins Matt Wivinis (Yankees), Ryan Atkinson (Diamondbacks) and Tyler Vail (Diamondbacks) as pitchers in affiliated baseball on last season’s 2016 Frontier League championship team.
The Evansville Otters open a three-game weekend series tonight at Bosse Field against the Schaumburg Boomers. It’s Kyndle Night at the ballpark and fans are encouraged to stay in their seats after the game for a spectacular fireworks show. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. with gates opening an hour before.

Dr. Bucshon: Inaction is not an option

0
 
 Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement following the Senate’s failure to pass legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare:

There is no excuse for the Senate’s inaction to move the process of repealing and replacing Obamacare forward.  I, like many Hoosiers, am incredibly frustrated that a handful of Senators failed to fulfill their longstanding promise to the American people. Hoosiers, and the American people, are fed up with politicians who talk about solving problems but don’t live up to their commitments. So am I.

“Obamacare is failing and families are suffering as a result. This is about the well-being of patients across the country. Inaction is not an option. Make no mistake, if the Senate does not regroup and move forward to bring families relief, they will be – and should be – held accountable by the American people.

“The House did our job. It wasn’t easy, but we found a way to come together, pass a bill, and fulfill our promise to the American people.  We have a responsibility to our constituents to make the tough decisions that are required to do the work they sent us here to do. I stand ready to work with my colleagues in the Senate to get this done, but we can’t move forward until they pass a bill.”
