UE Welcomes Amanda L. Krause as Dean of William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences

JUNE 5, 2024

The University of Evansville (UE) is thrilled to announce the appointment of Amanda L. Krause, Ph.D., as the new dean of the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences (CAS).

Dr. Krause brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to UE’s mission “to empower each student to think critically, act bravely, serve responsibly, and live meaningfully in a changing world.” She will begin her new role in mid-July.

Dr. Krause joins UE from Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland, where she currently serves as Director of International Programs and Associate Professor of Political Science. While there, she oversaw the political science and international studies majors, all Study Abroad programs, and programming for international students.

A proud graduate of the University of Missouri, where she earned her Ph.D. in Political Science with a focus on Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Research Methods, Dr. Krause has distinguished herself as a visionary academic leader. She holds an M.A. in Political Science from Louisiana State University and a B.A. in Journalism from Indiana University. Dr. Krause was the founder and director of the innovative Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) program at Mount St. Mary’s.

“I am excited and honored to lead the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Evansville,” said Dr. Krause. “I look forward to collaborating with UE’s exceptional faculty, staff, and students to forge connections, prioritize student needs, and bring innovative solutions that will enhance the College and the University as a whole. I am eager to work with the entire UE community and continue my commitment to being an engaged citizen, both on and off campus. Together, we will build upon UE’s rich connections and programs to chart an even brighter future.”

Dr. Krause’s impressive record includes over 20 peer-reviewed conference papers, published journal articles, and invited presentations. Her research focuses on comparative political economy, with a specific emphasis on social services and well-being in the Americas. Beyond her academic achievements, Dr. Krause is deeply committed to community service and frequently volunteers with domestic and international non-governmental organizations. She travels extensively to conduct research and assess social programs in the Americas and Europe and provides consulting services to enhance data collection, assessment, and grant-writing processes for nonprofits.

“Dr. Krause’s dedication to collaboration, relationship-building, and alignment with UE’s values and mission make her an exceptional choice to lead the College of Arts and Sciences,” said Mary Kessler, Interim Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at UE. “Her enthusiasm, vision, and innovative problem-solving abilities will be invaluable assets as we continue to elevate the University’s reputation for academic excellence.”

The William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences is named after life trustee and devoted friend of the university, the late Dr. William L. Ridgway.

University of Southern Indiana alumnus Steven J. Bridges named USI Interim President

May 31, 2024

The University of Southern Indiana Board of Trustees announced the appointment of Steven J. Bridges as Interim President, effective July 20, 2024. Bridges is a longtime USI employee and two-time USI alumnus and will be the first alumnus to serve in this leadership position. Since April 2015, he has served as the Vice President for Finance and Administration (VPFA), the University’s chief business and fiscal officer.

Bridges will replace outgoing President Ronald S. Rochon, PhD who has faithfully served the institution as its fourth President since 2018 and as Provost since 2010. Last week it was announced that Rochon has accepted the presidency of California State University, Fullerton.

“It has been a true honor to serve with President Rochon in advancing the mission and vision of USI, particularly as we embarked upon our journey as a Division I institution,” said Christine Keck, Chair of the USI Board of Trustees. “His new presidential appointment is a testament to the strength of his leadership and his passion for and dedication to higher education and student success.

“Steve Bridges has demonstrated 35 years of dedicated service to the USI community as both an employee and alumnus,” stated Keck. “A combination of Steve’s strong credentials and passion for the institution made him the top choice for Interim President. He has the full confidence of the USI Board as he takes on the challenge of leading our University in this interim period.”

Receiving his bachelor’s degree in accounting from USI in 1988, he began working for the University the following year as a Staff Accountant. His career progression continued to Bursar, Chief Accountant, Controller and Assistant Business Office Director, Assistant and Associate Vice President and an interim appointment for Operations and Assistant Treasurer, and eventually to VPFA. Along the way, he earned his Master of Business Administration degree from USI.

“I am honored and humbled to be chosen to serve as Interim President,” said Bridges. “I was the type of student for which this campus was founded nearly 60 years ago, and I feel a great responsibility to continue the extraordinary education I received, for our students of today and tomorrow. I have a genuine love of this institution, two of my children also are USI alumni. This is so much more than the place I am employed. My heart and life’s work are here.

“I am confident that, working with the faculty and staff, this interim period will not be one of waiting but instead a period for advancing in all we do. USI will be well positioned for the next president who takes the helm.”

Bridges resides in Henderson, Kentucky, with his wife Rosemary. They have three adult children, three grandchildren, and a fourth grandchild due this fall.

The University will begin conducting a national search for its fifth President this summer.

BASEBALL ACES FACE #16 EAST CAROLINA FRIDAY IN NCAA TOURNAMENT

0
GREENVILLE, N.C. –  The University of Evansville baseball team will open up 2024 NCAA Regional Tournament play on Friday afternoon at 12 p.m. central time, as the fourth-seeded Purple Aces will face top-seeded and #16 overall national seed East Carolina at Clark-LeClair Stadium in Greenville, North Carolina.  Every UE baseball game in the NCAA Tournament can be heard live in the Tri-State area on 107.1 FM-WJPS and seen live on ESPN+.
Evansville will bring a 35-23 overall record into the NCAA Tournament.  The Purple Aces earned the Missouri Valley Conference’s automatic bid into the tournament field after winning last week’s MVC Tournament at German American Bank Field at Charles H.

Delgado impresses in return as Otters comeback falls short

EVANSVILLE, IN – The Evansville Otters (5-13) fell to the Washington Wild Things (12-5) with a final score of 6-3 at Bosse Field.

The offense had chances late but could not complete the comeback.

Randy Bednar struck first for the Otters in the bottom of the second with a home run to left field. In the top of the third inning, the Wild Things evened the score at one.

Casey Delgado made his 2024 debut tonight on the mound for Evansville, pitching alongside his brother, Riley, who got the start at shortstop. It was the first time the two had been on the field together at any level of baseball and it was the first time Casey had pitched since the 2020 season.

The righty went four strong innings, surrendering just one run on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts. His pitch count limited him, causing his premature ending to a great day on the hill.

Washington got to the Otters’ bullpen in the sixth inning. Tristan Harvin surrendered five runs in the frame and took the loss and the deficit was too much for the Evansville bats to overcome.

Evansville scored one in the bottom of the inning with Jomar Reyes scoring on an error and another in the seventh from a David Mendham RBI single.

In the eighth inning, the bases were loaded for the Otters with nobody out, but they could not find the scoreboard as the next three men were retired.

The offense had two runners on base with one out in the final frame but again went down quietly.

Mendham had a 4-for-5 game and continues to swing the bat with authority this year. R. Delgado also garnered three hits in four trips to the plate and Reyes had a two-hit game. Bednar launched his team-leading fourth home run of the year tonight.

On the rubber, James Krick, Tyler Driver, Grif Hughes and Leoni De La Cruz all had scoreless appearances. Hughes went one-two-three in the eighth frame.

Evansville will hit the road and take on the Gateway Grizzlies tomorrow. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT. Coverage is available on the Otters Digital Network and FloBaseball.
