Changes to Commencement Guidelines
|
|
Because the mask mandate will be lifted on campus beginning March 21, masks will no longer be required for Commencement. Those who still prefer to wear a mask during the ceremony are welcome to do so. Additionally, there will be no distance requirements for graduate seating.
Graduates were first told that each person would receive 10 tickets to share with friends and family. Because of the COVID-19 guideline updates, tickets will no longer be required, and there will be unlimited seating for guests.
Please visit Commencement Central for full details of that weekend, including Baccalaureate, parking, the live stream, and more. The new guidelines are aligned with the current COVID-19 data. Should the pandemic change directions between now and May 7, restrictions may be reinstated.
As a reminder, graduates must order their cap and gown for in-store pickup by Sunday, March 20. Please place orders here. After this date, the bookstore will only have a select number of packages available for in-store purchase. Announcements must also be ordered by April 5.

Off-campus login to library resources being updated
|
|
During spring break, the library will update and modernize the login process for off-campus access to library resources. Currently, a user’s last name and a barcode number (added to the campus ID at the Information Desk) are used to provide access. This system will be modernized to use the same login as WebMail and the MyUE Campus Portal. This will make online access more convenient for all library users and will eliminate the need to barcode campus IDs to enable off-campus access.
For on-campus access to database resources, nothing will change. (Our “campus” consists of the main campus, Stone Family Center for Health Sciences, and the Harlaxton campus, all of which are currently provided access using campus network IP ranges that the library provides to database vendors.
Beginning next week (at the latest March 11), when off-campus users select a database on the
Databases by Name page (https://www.evansville.edu/libraries/databasesByName.cfm)
Or Databases by Subject page (https://www.evansville.edu/libraries/databasesBySubject.cfm)
they will be prompted to login using the new method.
Reminder: only current students, faculty, and staff may access the library’s licensed resources from off-campus and remote locations due to contractual “Terms of Use.”
The library wishes to express its thanks to OTS staff who assisted with the project by creating a process which will allow this enhanced form of access to function--Bob Szurgot, Robert Birkle, and Josh Norrick.
If you have questions or need help as the transition progresses, please email library@evansville.edu.

Baseball falls in midweek clash with Belmont
|
|
Battling back from an early deficit, the University of Evansville baseball team came up just short in a 7-4 loss to Belmont on Wednesday night in Nashville, Tenn.
"We really struggled hitting with runners in scoring position as we created many opportunities, but couldn't cash in," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "Belmont go the big 2 out RBI hits that we couldn't. We need to start playing better overall baseball as we start this 14 game road trip."
After trailing 4-0 following the second inning, Evansville fought its way back, beginning with a two-run no-doubt homer from junior Mark Shallenberger in the third that halved the Bruins advantage. Two innings later, the Aces pushed across a pair of runs to knot the contest at four. As has troubled the Aces this season, Belmont answered right back with a single run in the bottom half of the fifth before sealing the win with a two-run homer in the sixth.
Evansville had one last opportunity in the top of the ninth, loading the bases with just one out, but left the bases loaded with a strikeout and groundout.
The Aces continue their road trip with a three-game set at No. 18 Tulane beginning at 6:30 PM on Friday in New Orleans.

Aces open postseason on Thursday afternoon against No. 8 seed Indiana State
|
|
Following its best regular season in five years, the University of Evansville women's basketball team opens the postseason in Hoops in the Heartland against No. 8 seed Indiana State at 4 PM on Thursday afternoon inside the TaxSlayer Center in Moline, Ill.
Previewing the Matchup: No. 8 Indiana State
• Evansville and Indiana State are meeting for the 63rd time in series history with the Sycamores owning a 42-20 advantage in the all-time series.
• The Aces and Sycamores have only ever met once in postseason play, last meeting in the tournament in 2006 when top-seeded Indiana State topped No. 4 seed Evansville, 81-65 in the semifinals.
• Evansville has a history of success as the No. 9 seed in the MVC Tournament. Since the tournament expanded to 10 teams, the Aces have twice been the nine seed prior to this season, including 2009, when Evansville became the lowest-seeded team to ever win the MVC Tournament.
• The nine seed is the best for the Aces since the 2016-17 season after earning the 10 seed for four-straight seasons from 2017-18 to 2020-21.
• Head coach Robyn Scherr-Wells enters Hoops in the Heartland with plenty of success in conference tournaments in her coaching career. Scherr-Wells is 9-2 all-time in conference tournaments, capturing the tournament championship in both the WHAC and CCAC a combined three times.
Playing with Pace
• One of the hallmarks of head coach Robyn Scherr-Wells system at UE has been playing fast.
Installing a new system, Scherr-Wells has achieved her goal of getting the Aces to play fast as Evansville enters postseason play 35th in the nation with 74.4 possessions per 40 minutes
O Captain! My Captain!
• A leader for the Aces for four seasons, senior Anna Newman has blossomed in her final season.
• The team captain has commanded the court and operated head coach Robyn Scherr-Wells' new offense, leading to 92 assists on the season, a team-high, and 3.4 assists per game, the fifth-best average in the MVC.
Newcomer Guard Duo
• A pair of impactful transfers have transformed Evansville's backcourt and the team as a whole.
• Senior Myia Clark and junior Je'Naiya Davis are averaging a combined 27.6 points on the season with Davis finishing the regular season in fourth in the league in scoring and Clark finishing in 12th.
