Collins Brings A Wealth Of Experience

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Senior Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations/SWA Sarah Solinsky has announced that Krystal Collins has been named the Director of Compliance and Student-Athlete Services at the University of Evansville.

Collins comes to Evansville after working at Bethune-Cookman University where she served as a graduate assistant and intern in the compliance office.  As a GA, Collins was responsible for developing and executing the rules education program to ensure that coaches, staff, student-athletes and administrators adhere to the rules of the NCAA and the MEAC.

“We are excited to announce the addition of Krystal Collins to our staff,” Solinsky said.  “She was a collegiate student-athlete and her experience in athletics compliance will be impactful to our support services for the coaches and student-athletes at UE.”

Following her tenure as a graduate assistant at Bethune-Cookman in May of 2015, Collins continued to work with the staff as an intern until February of 2016.  Other responsibilities she had included: maintaining the Compliance Assistant software database, monitoring recruiting activities, initial eligibility and the NCAA Eligibility Center as well as research to provide rule interpretations of NCAA regulations and MEAC rules.

She was also a graduate assistant women’s bowling coach at BCU where she assisted in team practices, trip planning, NCAA tournament preparation and scheduling of contests.

“I am proud and honored to become a member of the Purple Aces family and to start working with this awesome staff and student-athletes. I have grown very fond of the world of athletics compliance and I believe that UE can allow me to grow professionally,” Collins said.  “As a former student-athlete, you never see what goes on inside the athletics department and since being in this field, I have a huge amount of respect for those who work day in, day out with countless hours to help these departments run smoothly.”

“Continuing my journey as becoming one of these unsung heroes and help UE with any and every goal the department has is a privilege,” Collins continued.  “Athletic administration requires the true meaning teamwork. Everyone has to do their part for the department to run efficiently. UE hold itself to the highest standards of ethical conduct and I find those same values within myself and would love nothing more than to help continue spreading these values to those I am around every day.”
Collins did her undergraduate work at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, La. where she earned her Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology.  She graduated from there in 2009.  In 2015, she earned her Masters of Science in Transformative Leadership from Bethune-Cookman.

EVANSVILLE, Ind.— University of Southern Indiana Women’s Cross Country improved to seventh in the latest U.S. Track and Field & Cross County Coaches Association national poll, while the men remained 10th.

With four teams ranked in the national poll, the Screaming Eagles moved to seventh after a third-place showing at the Conference Crossover in Romeoville, Illinois. USI fell two points short of fifth-ranked University of Minnesota-Duluth, but finished ahead of No. 10 Northern Michigan University.

Two runners placed in the top five with junior Emily Roberts (Fredericktown, Ohio) and senior Jessica Reeves (Midland, Michigan) taking second and fourth, respectively.

Grand Valley State University and Cedarville University remain ahead of the Eagles in the Midwest Region poll. USI rounds out an unchanged top-three.

On the men’s side, the Eagles remain 10th in the latest national polls after a runner-up performance over the weekend.

Grand Valley State won the Conference Crossover with a nearly perfect score of 21. Taking the final three spots of the top 10, USI captured second with 80 points. Junior Bastian Grau (Höchstadt) was the top Eagle finisher in eighth while seniors Chase Broughton (Marengo, Indiana) and Noah Lutz (Evansville, Indiana) placed ninth and 10th with identical times of 24:58 in the 8k race.

Lewis University returns to the USTFCCCA Top 25 poll in week five. The Flyers are the only other ranked Great Lakes Valley Conference member and are ranked 25th.

The top five of the Midwest Region poll remains unchanged with Grand Valley and USI atop the list.

After completing the regular season, both USI squads return to action at the GLVC Championships October 22 in Rolla, Missouri. The women look to capture their sixth-consecutive team title, while the men seek their 12th-straight championship.

USI Volleyball Notes (10/12/16)

 

About the Midwest Region Crossover. Formerly known as the GLVC/GLIAC Crossover, the Midwest Region Crossover is the largest collegiate volleyball tournament in the country, featuring 36 teams from the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC), the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), and the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (GMAC).

While the GMAC joined the Crossover last year, the GLVC and GLIAC have been battling for regional bragging rights since the Crossover’s inception in 2008. The GLIAC won the inaugural Crossover with a 27-12 margin in 2008; then went 24-21 versus the GLVC in 2009.

The GLVC edged the GLIAC, 23-22, in 2010; then claimed a 19-11 win in 2011 and a 28-20 triumph in 2012. After tying the GLIAC in 2013 with a 24-24 record, the GLVC dominated in 2014, claiming wins in 37 of the 48 matches contested.

Last year, GLVC schools posted a 28-20 record versus the GLIAC and GMAC, while the GLIAC was 24-24 against the GLVC and GMAC. The GMAC went 2-10 in its first appearance at the Crossover.

USI at the Midwest Region Crossover. USI is looking to build on a six-match winning streak at the Midwest Region Crossover after going 3-0 in 2014 and 3-0 a year ago. USI is 12-12 all-time at the event.

Familiar foe. USI’s bout with Northwood in the Midwest Region Crossover opener Friday marks the third time in the last two years that the Screaming Eagles and Timberwolves have met on a volleyball court. The Eagles claimed three-set sweeps in both meetings a year ago, but Northwood leads the series, 9-6, since 1989.

This is the third straight year USI and Northwood have met in the Crossover and the sixth time since the Crossover’s inception. The Eagles are 4-1 against the Timberwolves at the Crossover, having won the last four meetings.

Last week. USI went 1-2 in GLVC play last week. The Eagles suffered a three-set loss to visiting Bellarmine University last Tuesday before topping the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in four sets last Friday at the PAC. USI fell in three sets to No. 13 Lewis University the following day.

About the opposition.

Northwood begins the Midwest Region Crossover with a 9-7 overall record and a 3-5 mark in GLIAC play. The Timberwolves have lost four straight matches, all in straight sets, entering Friday’s play.

Alderson Broaddus is 2-16 overall and 1-0 in the GMAC heading into Friday’s Crossover. USI defeated the Battlers lost in four sets last year in Elkins, West Virginia.

Tiffin enters this week’s action with a 10-8 overall record and a 3-6 mark in GLIAC play. The Dragons have won three of their last five matches, including a three-set triumph over Kentucky Wesleyan College in their most recent outing.

 

 

Dr. Bennet Omalu, the “Concussion Doctor”, to Speak at UE’s Snyder Lecture TOMORROW

0

The Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series proudly presents Brain Storm: Dr. Bennet Omalu and the Concussion Crisis. As chronicled in the 2015 film “Concussion” starring Will Smith, Dr. Bennet Omalu made a career breakthrough when he became the first doctor to discover and identify chronic brain damage as a major factor in the deaths of professional athletes. Since his discovery, he has gone to unbelievable lengths to raise awareness of the severity of concussions in athletes.

 

This event is scheduled for Thursday, October 13, at 7:00 p.m., at the Old National Events Plaza ballroom. The event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required. Tickets can be obtained online for free at www.evansville.edu/brainstorm. Seating is first come, first served. A reception will follow the event sponsored by the St. Mary’s Sports Concussion Alliance.

Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series

Made possible through an endowment from the late Patricia H. Snyder, trustee and longtime friend of the University of Evansville, the Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series was created in 1997 to bring speakers or performers of national or international renown to Evansville at no cost to the public. The concerts and lectures in this series span a wide variety of topics, and are aimed at both the Evansville and campus communities. Events are free and open to the public.

St. Mary’s Sports Concussion Alliance

Through the first partnership of its kind in the Tri-State area, we have joined Tri-State Orthopaedics and ProRehab to form St. Mary’s Sports Concussion Alliance. The Sports Concussion Alliance, using the Tri-State’s most experienced Sports Medicine providers, was established to educate administrators, athletic trainers, coaches, parents and student-athletes on the importance of identifying the signs of concussion, seeking immediate proper medical treatment, and using standard guidelines to return the athlete to play.

Global Auto Supplier Adding 120+ Jobs in Southern Indiana

0

 

North Vernon - Metaldyne Performance Group (NYSE: MPG), a leading provider of highly-engineered components for use in powertrain and suspension applications for the global light, commercial and industrial vehicle markets, announced plans today to expand its operations here, creating up to 126 new jobs by 2019.

“There’s a clear reason why Indiana is home to the strongest concentration of manufacturing jobs in the nation,” said Governor Mike Pence. “Over the last decade, Indiana has worked tirelessly to build the best possible business climate, and those efforts have attracted new growth and job creation from manufacturers like MPG. MPG operates six facilities across our state, and its planned growth in North Vernon is a testament to Indiana’s outstanding workforce and business-friendly policies.”

The Michigan-based company will invest $30.6 million to lease and equip a 32,400-square-foot facility in North Vernon. With construction scheduled to begin later this month and operations slated to begin in 2018, the new building will be adjacent to its current 130,000-square-foot facility at 3100 N. Highway 3. Connected by a breezeway, the two buildings will provide expanded space for the company to increase production of its powder forged connecting rods, which major automobile manufacturers use to improve fuel efficiency in gasoline and diesel engines.

MPG currently employs more than 12,000 associates around the world, including nearly 200 in North Vernon. The company plans to begin hiring highly-skilled CNC machine operators and engineers in early 2017. Interested applicants may apply through the company’s website or in person at the North Vernon facility.

“Our North Vernon manufacturing operations has been a strong performing plant for MPG and its customers for many years,” said Doug Grimm, president and chief operating officer at MPG. “We are excited about this new expansion, and we appreciate the support from the state of Indiana.”

Founded in 2014 from the merger of three metal-forming technology companies, MPG is now the largest supplier of powder forged connecting rods in the world. With its high-strength, lightweight designs, the company’s rods are ideal for use in high-efficiency engines, using a high-yield process that minimizes material waste. MPG operates more than 60 facilities around the world, including additional Indiana facilities in Bluffton, Fremont, Columbus, New Castle and Remington.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered MPG up to $800,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of North Vernon approved additional incentives at the request of the Jennings County Economic Development Commission.

“MPG, formerly operating as Metaldyne, has been a member of this community for many years and we are extremely pleased they chose the North Vernon facility for their expansion project,” said North Vernon Mayor Mike Ochs. “We very much appreciate their commitment and investment, which will impact not only Jennings County but south central Indiana.”

Five major original equipment manufacturer auto companies and more than 500 automotive suppliers like MPG are operating today across the state, supporting roughly 100,000 Hoosier jobs. Manufacturing accounts for 25 percent of the state’s total economic output, and Indiana’s automotive industry is the second-largest in the nation as measured by GDP.
