University of Evansville to Become Tobacco Free Campus Beginning August 2015
The University of Evansville will implement a new campus-wide tobacco free policy beginning in August 2015. The use of all tobacco products including smoked, smokeless, and electronic cigarettes will be prohibited anywhere on campus grounds including buildings, athletics facilities, parking areas, and at all campus events and functions.
Research shows that the use of tobacco products constitutes a significant health hazard. According to the Centers for Disease Control, smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, killing more than 480,000 Americans each year.
“We want to make a difference in the lives of our campus community,†says UE president, Tom Kazee, “and this is a positive step in that direction.â€
Resources will be made readily available to those who wish to stop smoking or using tobacco, including a free nicotine patch and cessation program coordinated through the Vanderburgh County Health Department.
For more information about the upcoming tobacco-free policy, contact the office of University Relations at 812-488-2236 or by email at uerelations@evansville.edu .
Halestorm SOLD OUT Victory Theatre!
Victory Theatre was the place to be on Wednesday night as Starset, The Pretty Reckless and Halestorm took the stage for a sold out rockin’ concert. The theatre was packed with fans and they helped the bands rock the night out! Starset took the stage at 7:30PM and was shortly followed by The Pretty Reckless who got the fans up out of the seats and singing and dancing to their favorite songs. Once Halestorm took the stage, no seat was being used, as there was no sitting down for their performance.
Halestorm would shout out to the fans and thank them for coming out and “filling the venue up for a rock concert on a Wednesday night.†Lzzy, Halestorm’s lead singer was energetic and kept the fans entertained the entire night.
“The community really showed up tonight to support three great rock bands,†stated Victory Theatre General Manager, Ben Bolander. “Having another sold out concert at Victory electrified the atmosphere in downtown Evansville.â€
The Victory Theatre continues a busy schedule with The Fab Four on April 30, BoDeans May 2, Evansville Philharmonic concerts and Chris Tucker May 29.
Rep. Gail Riecken issues statement on state budget, regional medical campus
INDIANAPOLIS – State Rep. Gail Riecken (D-Evansville) issued the statement below after voting against the biennial state budget proposal contained in House Bill 1001:
“Of course, the inclusion of some funding for the regional medical campus in downtown Evansville is a positive, but to simply leave it at that without exploring the full implications of the Republican state budget would be a mistake.
“By failing to include state funding for Ivy Tech Community College in the proposal, the budget effectively excludes close to 70 percent of the students that would be able to benefit from the scope of instruction that would be offered through the campus. Ivy Tech students would have been the prime beneficiaries of this project, yet they are being left out.
“That is wrong, and I have to wonder what Ivy Tech has done to incur the wrath of the Republicans who wrote this budget. I am pleased that the project can get under way, but to deny so many the opportunities they deserve to pursue a career in the field of health care does not sit well with me, and I cannot vote for a budget that makes that distinction.â€
