UE Receives $116,000 Estate Gift to Support Student Scholarships

10/08/2024

EVANSVILLE, IND. (10/07/2024) The University of Evansville gratefully announces a gift of $116,000 dedicated to student scholarships from the estate of Susan J. Partenheimer ’73 M’80 M’87.

Susan Partenheimer, a proud UE alumna, double majored in education and psychology, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Education in 1977. Her passion for learning didn’t stop there-she returned to UE to earn both a Master of Arts in Education in 1980 and a Master of Science in Counseling in 1987.

With a career devoted to teaching and counseling school-aged children, Susan left an indelible mark on countless lives. She spent 30 impactful years teaching within the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) and later brought her compassion and expertise to her role as a counselor at Huntingburg Elementary and Holland School. Susan’s guiding principle, “treat others as you would like to be treated,” continues to inspire.

Ms. Partenheimer’s bequest gift will create lasting scholarship opportunities, ensuring that future generations of students can pursue their dreams at UE.

Evansville, IN – The Evansville Rescue Mission is proud to announce the installation of powerful sidewalk clings across the city and in the area surrounding Fall Festival. These clings depict the realistic situations that many women in our community are currently facing. As part of our larger awareness campaign, this initiative aims to shed light on the urgent needs of homeless women and children and to rally community support for the Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children.

The sidewalk clings can be found at the following locations:

N St Joseph Ave & W Michigan St
130 N St Joseph Ave, Evansville, IN 47712
N 10th Ave & W Illinois St
SW corner of N 10th Ave & W Michigan St
SW corner of Flag Blvd & W Michigan St
SW corner of W Franklin St & N 9th Ave
Flag Blvd near W Illinios St.

These installations are designed to capture the attention of pedestrians, creating a visceral connection to the struggles faced by women and children in our community. By bringing these stories to the forefront, we hope to inspire compassion and action from the public.

“Our goal is to raise awareness and generate the necessary funds to complete the Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children,” said Kyle Gorman, Executive Director of Advancement at the Evansville Rescue Mission. “We are currently at $7.6 million of our $9 million goal, and we need the community’s help to close that gap.”

The Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children will be a transformative resource, providing safe shelter, educational opportunities, job training, and comprehensive support services. It is designed to empower women and children, helping them to achieve stability and independence.

The USI Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) program is offering non-diagnostic ultrasounds to expectant mothers in their second or third trimester (18-34 weeks pregnant) on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons through April 2025. Students will be practicing assigned images under the direction of experienced faculty members.

“This unique collaboration provides the opportunity for students to enhance their practical skills before starting their clinical rotations,” said Jordan Thomason, DMS Instructor and Clinical Coordinator. “With our state-of-the-art lab and 3D probes, students can practice various scanning techniques and protocols with direct patient interaction under the guidance of an instructor.”

Thomason said that ultrasound sessions are beneficial for both the students and the moms-to-be. “Most women enjoy knowing they are helping with our students’ education and are always excited to get another peek at their babies,” she says. “Also, getting to see a live baby on the screen is a wonderful opportunity for our students.”
