You're invited to attend the History Lecture – Evansville in WWII with Dr. James MacLeod.

Friday, September 11, 2020
7:00 p.m.

During World War Two, the city of Evansville was one of the most important cities in the country, manufacturing hundreds of ships, thousands of fighter planes and literally billions of other items that contributed hugely to the Allies’ victory. It was an exhilarating time of great change and opportunity for everyone who lived and worked in Evansville, but also a period of extremely difficult challenges and of profound loss. In this captivating lecture, illustrated with scores of images, James MacLeod explains how all of this industry came to be in Evansville, reveals the enormous impact that it had on social, economic and cultural life, and analyzes how the city dealt with what was a time of astonishing transformation.

Class of 2021, make your impact at UE by joining the Senior Class Committee. Each year, the Senior Class Committee works closely with the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, as well as the Office of Annual Giving, to help your class become familiar with the Alumni Office, gain some exposure to alumni, and help you transition from an active student into an active alumnus. We also want you to have fun, be engaged, and ultimately make your senior year memorable!

The committee meets (virtually) 1-2 times a month and communicates through email to plan social and networking events (virtual this year) geared towards seniors and young alumni. The committee also determines what your class gift will be and how to promote the gift to your classmates.

If you are interested in joining your Senior Class Committee, contact Nichole Coffey at ns50@evansville.edu or 812-488-2900.
