Totality exhibit on display at USI New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art

0

The University of Southern Indiana’s New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) in New Harmony, Indiana, is proud to present Totality, an exhibition juried by Dr. Kent Scheller, Professor of Physics. Totality is on display now through Saturday, April 20.

Totality refers to the sum or whole of an overall amount. Totality can also refer to a quality or state of being total, whole or complete. The terms “totality” and “totalization” have been used in literary and cultural philosophy to refer to the possibility and practice of total, unified closure. It refers to the processes that enable seemingly unrelated events to convey themselves as part of a larger, more complex whole. Totality also describes a phase of an eclipse. On Monday, April 8, New Harmony, Indiana, will be in the path of totality. To commemorate this astronomical event, artwork related to and/or inspired by the idea of an eclipse was solicited.

Exhibiting artists include Andy Batt, Ariana Chilvers, Audra Lynn Clayton, Rita H.G. Davis, Vernelle Farrington, Mary Kay Glinis, Brian Hitselberer, Heather Landry, Beata Renata Marczak, Ravyn McHugh, Rob Millard-Mendez, Sarah Moschel Miller, Jakey Mumfie, Dawn Murtaugh, Laura Foster Nicholson, Sheryl Sullivan and Bill Tortoriello.

Scheller has been teaching physics at USI for 25 years. He was recognized in 2007 with the H. Lee Cooper Core Teaching Award for the creativity and success of his teaching. In 2011, he was selected by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels to serve a two-year term as the faculty representative on the 14-member Indiana Commission for Higher Education. In 2014, faculty colleagues selected Scheller for the USI Distinguished Professor Award for his achievements in scholarship, teaching, and University and community service. His current research is focused on the presence and nature of environmental radon in Southwestern Indiana.

Scheller earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of Evansville and a master’s degree in physics and a doctorate in nuclear astrophysics, both from the University of Notre Dame.

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The Gallery is open to the public at no charge.

The NHGCA at University of Southern Indiana promotes discourse about and access to contemporary art in the southern Indiana region. The NHGCA is a proud outreach partner of the University of Southern Indiana.

This exhibition is made possible in part by the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana, and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.

USI Women’s Basketball receives first-ever ranking in CollegeInsider.com Women’s Mid-Major Top 25®

20240309_WBB OVC Championship game_USI VS UT Martin_

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball made its first-ever debut in the CollegeInsider.com Women’s Mid-Major Top 25® rankings Tuesday evening, checking in at No. 22 in the latest poll.

Now in its’ 14th season, the Women’s Mid-Major Top 25® is voted on by 31 Division I coaches. The poll is announced every Tuesday on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Southern Indiana (24-6) had been receiving votes for the mid-major rankings since January 30, but the Screaming Eagles cracked the top 25 following a sweep of the 2023-24 Ohio Valley Conference regular season championship and most recently the 2024 OVC Women’s Basketball Tournament championship. USI was the only OVC school to be ranked or receive votes in the latest release of the rankings.

The Screaming Eagles captured the first two OVC team championships for USI Athletics this season, capturing the regular-season title by six games before winning back-to-back games against Eastern Illinois University and the University of Tennessee at Martin in last week’s OVC Championship Tournament. USI defeated the Panthers by a score of 69-54 in the semifinals and by a score of 81-53 over UT Martin in the championship game.

USI’s 28-point margin of victory in Saturday’s championship game also ranked among the largest margins of victory in the OVC Women’s Basketball Tournament championship game history, just short of the championship game’s top-two point differentials of 32 and 30 points.

Compared to recent history, Saturday’s championship win put Southern Indiana with the likes of the University of North Dakota’s 2011-12 team (Great West Conference) and California Baptist University’s 2020-21 team (Western Athletic Conference) to win a regular season and conference tournament championship in the same season during a transition period.

Plus, Southern Indiana is currently enjoying a 10-game winning streak for the second time this season, matching a team best since the 2017-18 season. The 2017-18 season was also the last time USI had won at least 24 games overall as the Screaming Eagles have done so far this season.

 

Sycamores defeat Aces in Valley opener

Teams meet up again on Wednesday

 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – After scoring two runs in the first and four in the second, Indiana State defeated the University of Evansville softball team by a final score of 9-0 at Tri-State Orthopaedics Field at James & Dorothy Cooper Stadium on Tuesday.

Indiana State used the long ball to open a 6-0 lead in the opening two innings.  Abby Robakowski opened the scoring with a RBI single with a second run scoring on an error on the play.  Danielle Henning and Robakowski each had 2-run homers in the second to push he lead to 6-0.

Evansville had its first scoring opportunity in the bottom of the third, loading the bases as Zoe Frossard picked up the Purple Aces’ first hit of the game before a flyout got ISU out of the inning.  The Sycamores responded with a 3-run fourth frame to push the lead to 9-0.

ISU would hold strong from there, taking the MVC opener by a 9-0 final.

Frossard and Alexa Davis accounted for the Aces hits.  Mikayla Jolly tossed three innings with eight runs scoring, six of which were earned.  Elle Jarrett gave up one earned run in two frames.  Lauren Sackett threw the complete game for ISU on the way to her 6th win of the season.

Wednesday night will feature another meeting between the squads at 5 p.m.
