Conexus Indiana Endorses UEâ€™s Logistics and Supply Chain Management Program

03/22/2017

The University of Evansville Schroeder School of Businessâ€™s new logistics and supply chain management program (LSCM) has been endorsed by Conexus Indiana Logistics Council. UE plans to launch the program in the fall of 2018.

Conexus Indiana is a forum of Indiana executives and thought leaders representing air, infrastructure, rail trucking, warehouse/distribution, waterborne, and advanced manufacturing and service firms. The Schroeder School is the first private AACSB business school in Indiana to receive its endorsement.

UE Schroeder Family School of Business Dean Greg Rawski said the endorsement â€œcontinues the forward momentum weâ€™ve created which connects our students to top Indiana logistics executives. It creates exciting opportunities. There is a 6:1 demand-to-supply ratio for new college graduates in the supply chain field, and our LSCM program will prepare students with the knowledge and skills desired by those employers.â€

In addition to rigorous study, students in the program will participate in high level experiential learning opportunities. The Schroeder School of Business will create the center for logistics and supply chain management which will house experiential student programs and connect LSCM students to corporations. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 12-to-1, students will benefit from close faculty mentorship. Students will also attend a speaker series where they can learn from individuals with logistics and supply chain management experience.

In 2016, a UE student team took third place among 17 Indiana colleges in the Conexus Logistics Case Competition. These colleges, some with established LSCM programs, vied to develop the best solution to a logistics-related issue.

Yolanda Obaze, UE assistant professor of supply chain management, noted that the teamâ€™s placement was impressive considering their limited exposure to the field of logistics and supply chain management. The achievement, she said, is a good indication of future successes when UEâ€™s new LSCM program is implemented.

IS IT TRUE MARCH 21, 2017

03/21/2017

IS IT TRUE the latest Evansville bout with patronage human resources policies is drawing the ire of nearly everyone in town with enough sense to see what has been proposed by our Vanderburgh County Commissioners?…firing a capable and educated young professional who chose Evansville over other opportunities in other places spits in the face of growing the young and educated part of the local workforce?…it is entirely possible that some elected officials have been indoctrinated from birth in the culture of patronage that they don’t even know it is the path to permanent mediocrity?…this action will be memorialized on future Google searches as a reason for educated professionals to avoid Evansville like a cat avoids a bath?

IS IT TRUE we can’t wait to hear what the President of the Vanderburgh County Commission has to say about the firing of the current Director of Burdette Park without cause?

IS IT TRUEÂ the State Board of Accounts audited financial statement for the City of Evansville reveals some shocking information? Â …that theÂ Post Employment benefits healthcare plan funding status as of January 1, 2015, Â was zero (0) percent funded. by the City of Evansville? Â ….The actuarial accrued liability for retired city employees benefits was $281,495,540 and the actuarial value of assets for this fund was zero (0) funded, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $281,495,540.?

IS IT TRUE we have on good authority that today’s County Commissioners meeting should be extremely interesting? Â …we been informed byÂ Vanderburgh County Veterans Commander Mark AckerÂ that members of the Vanderburgh County Commission are trying to force the Vanderburgh County Veterans Council to leave the Veterans Memorial Coliseum? Â …Mr. Acker also alleges that he believes the Mayor would like to demolish the Veterans Memorial Coliseum because it stands in the way of his future downtown revitalization. plans? Â ….Commander Acker also states Â “that the Vets are fed up with the way members of County Commission have been mistreating them and have retained legal counsel to represent them ? …this a developing story?

IS IT TRUE that bad news struck the West Franklin Street entertainment district Sunday afternoon when a patron of the restaurant was told “there is no tea”?…the reason given for a tea shortage was that the Tin Man Restaurant will be shutting down and the only things available for sale are whatever is on the shelf in the back?…the last day of operation was communicated from a waiter to a customer as Sunday March, 19, 2017?… The future of the Tin Man Brewery is not known at this time?…the legacy of the Tin Man started about a decade ago when someone won enough lottery money to set themselves up for life and used part of it to start among other things a brewery and a restaurant in Evansville?…with the depth of the pockets backing the Tin Man it must have been facing some insurmountable financial issues for the white flag of surrender to have been hoisted?…this business failure will most certainly cause other aspiring entrepreneurs in the Evansville entertainment market to think twice and bankers to think five times before making loans against such assets?

IS IT TRUE there is about to be another startup business down at Marina Point which has seen its share of challenges to entrepreneurial success?…the list of failed entertainment venues is a long one and we hope that trend ends with the soon to be launched business?…the owner of this new businessÂ at Marina Point is the owner of K C TIMEOUT Bar located at the Washington Square Mall on Green River Road? Â …we predict that KC Marine Point Bar will be a smashing success because the owner knows his stuff?

IS IT TRUE a 35 year old mother from Henderson is in trouble for supplying alcohol to her own teenager and at least one other teenager?…beer and other alcohol consumption has been an accepted tradition in the Tri-State for at least a century but that does not make it legal or right?…let this Henderson mom be an example to others of how not to raise children?…terrible parenting is likely to be one of the fundamental reasons that there are places like Iceland where people are 15 times less likely to commit murder than Evansvillians are?…multiply that by eleven for St. Louis?…America had better get its act together in the parenting department or we may well be headed to attaining third world status among nations?

NOTE: Todays “READERS POLL” question is: Do you feel its time for our City and County officials to start planning to demolish the Veterans Memorial Coliseum to make way for future development?

HOUSE GOP REJECTS HATFIELDâ€™S PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE INDEPENDENT, NONPARTISAN REDISTRICTING

HOUSE GOP REJECTS HATFIELDâ€™S PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE INDEPENDENT, NONPARTISAN REDISTRICTING

INDIANAPOLIS â€“ Indiana House Republicans today prevented a vote on a proposal from State Rep. Ryan Hatfield (D-Evansville) that would have given an independent, nonpartisan commission the power to draw districts for the Indiana General Assembly and our stateâ€™s congressional delegation.

House Republicans voted down Hatfieldâ€™s attempt to place the independent commission in Senate Bill 417. If the measure had been approved, the nonpartisan commission would have been in place to draw new legislative and congressional districts after the 2020 census.

â€œThe people of Indiana want election reform,â€ Hatfield said. â€œThere is an increasing belief that elections for the Indiana House and Senate and the U.S. Congress are non-competitive, and the result is voter turnout numbers that are among the worst in the nation. Hoosiers feel that the system is rigged, and thereâ€™s no reason to keep taking part.â€

A bipartisan study committee that has examined redistricting reform the past two years recommended creation of an independent commission to take over the task, but legislation outlining that change died in the House Elections and Apportionment Committee when the committee chairman (State Rep. Milo Smith, R-Columbus) refused Hatfieldâ€™s call to take a vote on the bill, despite the measure drawing resounding public support at a committee meeting.

â€œRight now, there is no vehicle for the type of election reform that has been demanded by the people of this state,â€ Hatfield said. â€œThe study committee went out of existence earlier this year, and there is no way to implement its ideas unless we amend the idea into an existing bill. My amendment would have enabled the House to make a clear statement that this body believes an independent redistricting is needed, and it would have given lawmakers another two years to figure out the make-up of that commission.

â€œNow we have nothing, and the people of this state have a right to feel cynical about these actions,â€ he noted. â€œDo the people in charge of the Indiana House really want election reform through independent redistricting, or are they simply willing to pay only lip service to the idea? Folks deserve action, not just more political talk. I hope we have many more opportunities to continue this debate before the 2017 session ends next month.â€
