Local Organizations Partner to Present Area’s First ‘Immigration Clinic’

3

The Tri-State area’s inaugural “Immigration Clinic” will be held on Saturday, February 14, to provide free assistance to members of the Hispanic community whose immigration status prevents them from working at local companies.

WorkOne Southwest, Catholic Charities with the Diocese of Evansville, Community Action Program of Evansville, Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Henderson and Ivy Tech Community College will present the event from 8 a.m. to noon (CST) at the Ivy Tech campus in Evansville, 3501 N. First Ave.

The project grew out of recruitment efforts by area companies needing to fill many open jobs, and at the same time, bring diversity to their workforce. Through outreach to local community groups, it became apparent that immigration challenges are keeping Hispanic residents from filling these positions. The project is especially timely in light of President Obama’s recent executive order targeting immigration.

Seven attorneys and two trained counselors from Indianapolis, Bloomington and Evansville who specialize in immigration issues are donating their services to meet one-on-one with those who lack the documentation necessary to apply for jobs. The volunteers will hold confidential discussions to understand the individuals’ immigration circumstances and offer direction on how the problems should be addressed. They will not be entering into attorney-client relationships during the event, nor will they be helping to complete any documents that may ultimately be required.

Attorneys David Guerrettaz and Osman Mufti of Ziemer Stayman Weitzel Shoulders, LLP; and Keith M. Wallace and William Royal Gearhart II of Bowers Harrison, LLP, both Evansville law firms, will be participating. Christie Popp of Popp Law Office and Laura Pontius of Pontius Law, LLC, both of Bloomington, will also offer their services, along with Lara Aziz, who is the directing attorney at the Immigrants’ and Language Rights Center with Indiana Legal Services, Inc., in Indianapolis. Cesilie J. Cordovilla, multicultural liaison with Catholic Charities, and Megan Alvarez, program chair/assistant professor of paralegal studies at Ivy Tech, will also offer assistance. The Mexican Consulate in Indianapolis will send a representative.

 

Sponsors of the event include: Azteca Milling, HOLA, and Diversity & Inclusion Institute For Change.

University of Evansville’s Study Abroad Program Ranked #1 in America

7

The University of Evansville study abroad program at Harlaxton College, has been ranked number one in America by BestCollegeReviews.org.

International studies is a hallmark at the University of Evansville, with over 60 percent of students studying abroad.  In addition to offering a study abroad curriculum that allows students to graduate in four years, the programs are open to all majors and backgrounds. Moreover, financial aid packages travel along with students – which is not the case at many other universities.

Harlaxton College is a 150-room manor house set in the picturesque English countryside that provides a distinctive backdrop for the top study abroad program in the country. This historic home – which some say is UE’s own “Hogwarts” — is filled with energetic students and faculty that live together in a unique learning environment. Students can choose to spend an entire semester studying abroad, or may opt for one of the 5-10 week course offerings.

“Harlaxton’s physical location in Britain, paired with a Monday-through-Thursday class schedule, enables students to do extensive travel to nearby European landmarks,” says UE President Tom Kazee. “Students often find themselves standing in the very spot they discussed in British Studies class a few days earlier. Many groups travel to London, Paris, Ireland, Spain, and Italy—locations that offer ample opportunities for students to gain a global world view through first-hand experience”.

BestCollegeReviews.org chose the top study abroad institutions based on the following criteria:

  • The program is open to a limited number of students, 500 or less, providing a more intimate experience while abroad.
  • The program is at least a semester long.
  • Faculty from the university are involved with the students internationally, either traveling with the students, teaching abroad, or overseeing the program in the country.
  • The university has a specific location internationally, students are not simply enrolling at international universities.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1964-65 Evansville Aces. At that time, the Aces were not only an outstanding basketball team; they were a major Evansville social activity. Over 12,000 fans packed Evansville’s Roberts Municipal Stadium on a regular basis to cheer for their hometown team.

In honor of this anniversary, the public is invited to a panel discussion Saturday, January 24, with the starting five of this undefeated 1964-65 team. Mike Blake will moderate. The event will be at the Old National Events Plaza, Ballrooms B, C, and D. Doors open at noon, with the discussion taking place from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Following the program, the book The Undefeated Season: The Newspaper Story of the 1964-1965 Evansville College Purple Aces Basketball Team, edited by starting guard Russ Grieger and retired editor and publisher of the Evansville Courier & Press Tom Tuley, will be available for signing.

Later that day, when the present day Purple Aces play Southern Illinois University at the Ford Center at 3:05 p.m., the 1964-65 team will be recognized at half-time. A commemorative program will be available

Then January 25 – April 19, an exhibit on the team will be on display in the Evansville Museum’s Evansville Convention & Visitors Bureau Center of History and Science. “Winning Them All: The Evansville Aces 1964-65” will recall the season when the Aces went undefeated and claimed the school’s fourth College Division National Championship (today’s Division II).

Pet of the Week

 Hi, I’m Petunia! I am currently the longest feline resident at the VHS, waiting on a home since June. That’s kind of a long time. I’m a petite, cute little orange tabby. I’m also female, and female orange tabbies are somewhat unique! I like people, but I have an independent personality so I don’t always like to be picked up & carried around. I get along great with other cats, so if you’re looking for someone to complete your household, I’m your lady! I can go home TODAY spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated for only $30! Visit www.vhslifesaver.org or call (812) 426-2563 for details!
