Dr Mark Cirino to Deliver Morgan Whitaker Stankey Andiron Lecture
|
|

Dr. Mark Cirino will deliver the first Stankey Andiron Lecture of the academic year on Thursday, September 18 at 4 PM in Koch 100. The lecture is entitled "Ernest Hemingway and the Road to A Farewell to Arms." Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms was published in 1929, a full decade after the writer was wounded in World War I and rejected by the war nurse that took care of him. These two traumas inspired the plot of his classic novel. This presentation describes those difficult personal experiences, the years Hemingway spent trying to cope with their memories, and then the triumphant way he chronicled them in A Farewell to Arms. This discussion will illuminate Hemingway’s creative process and inspire us to think more broadly about the way artists transform their own reality into their work. Mark Cirino teaches American literature at the University of Evansville. He is the host of the Ernest Hemingway Society-sponsored program, One True Podcast. His most recent publication is an edition of A Farewell to Arms for the Norton Library.
The William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences is delighted to support The Morgan Whitaker Stankey Andiron Lectures. The series is dedicated to the memory of University of Evansville alumna Morgan Stankey, who passed away suddenly in March, 2023. Many generous gifts in Morgan’s memory have allowed us to reinvigorate a long-established tradition – the Andiron Lecture - that was a significant part of the University’s intellectual life for many years. This event is free and open to the public. |

Applications are due for Summer 2027 on December 15th, 2025. Applications for Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 are due on April 1, 2026.
Summer Applicants:
There are two summer semesters at Harlaxton. A two-and-a-half-week session that focuses on STEM and a four-and-a-half-week session that focuses on arts and humanities. Faculty can apply to teach one course either of these terms. You can see the summer 2026 schedule as an example here- Summer Sessions at Harlaxton | Harlaxton.
Once courses are approved, we will recruit for these courses and then decide which course will finally run based on enrollment of students. These decisions are made in late January of the year of the program. If your course does run in the summer session at Harlaxton, salary will be paid $500 per student enrolled in your class. In the summer, there are no funds for airfare, and family members pay for their own accommodation and meals. Fees for room and board for a spouse may be waived if there are 10 or more students enrolled in your class. Faculty and families will also be invoiced for health and transportation fees at the Manor for each member of the family and the faculty member. These fees are approximately $300 per person.
Semester Applicants: Semester benefits include room and board for family members at Harlaxton. Faculty members who wish to bring children and enroll them in the local schools will be assisted in the visa process but will be required to pay any fees for the visa. These fees are currently approx. $1500 per person, and visas are required for every person in the family. Faculty and families will also be invoiced for health and transportation fees at the Manor for each member of the family and the faculty member. These fees are approximately $400 per person.
Teaching at Harlaxton is a wonderful experience, and we welcome faculty members for a phenomenal summer or semester abroad. If you have questions about teaching at Harlaxton and the experience overall, please feel free to email me at hc110@evansville.edu. |

Aces Men's Soccer Keeps Mayor's Cup Behind Escudero's Brace
|
|
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville men's soccer team secured the Mayor's Cup for the third straight season on Saturday night, taking down USI 3-0 at Strassweg Field. All three Evansville goals were scored by freshmen, as Andres Escudero (San Sebastián de los Reyes, Spain IES Joan Miro) posted his first career brace and Chase Ricker (Albuquerque, N.M./La Cueva) scored his first collegiate goal.
Evansville's attack was active early, as the Aces jumped on the Screaming Eagles with three goals in the first 23 minutes of play. In the fourth minute, Álvaro Timón (Toledo, Spain/Valencia International University) found Will Bencic (Cincinnati, Ohio/Lakota East) on the left wing, who put a beautiful cross into the box for Escudero. From there, the freshman snuck a shot past the USI keeper to give the Aces the lead.
Evansville struck again just over six minutes later on a scoring chance started by Matt Hawkins (Louisville, Ky./Male), who sent a long ball to Ricker for a one-on-one scoring chance. After making his way into the left side of the box, the freshman unleashed a laser of a shot over the keeper and into the back of the net for his first collegiate goal.
The scoring continued in the 23rd minute when the Aces drew a foul in the box to earn a penalty kick. Escudero stepped up to the spot and buried a shot, securing the brace and giving Evansville a 3-0 lead.
UE would continue to threaten throughout the remainder of the first half, putting up seven more shots, but the Aces were not able to add onto their lead. Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill./Elk Grove) kept his clean sheet in-tact with a diving save just before halftime to help his team go into the break with a 3-0 lead.
Evansville did not let up in the second half, tallying 11 more shots. However, the Aces were kept off the board, while Mroz made two more saves to secure his first shutout and Evansville's first win of the season.
"I thought the first half performance was really good," said Head Coach Robbe Tarver. "Obviously some great goals to start the game with Andres after a nice passing sequence and then Chase just hitting a banger. It was probably our most complete first half that we've had." "Obviously really happy about win number one. It's hard to win, so we're going to celebrate wins that we get, and now we need to use this to keep moving forward."
Evansville matched a season-high with 24 shots, out-shooting USI 24-5, while the Aces' 11 shots on goal marked a season-high. Timón tallied a game-high four shots, while Escudero, Martin Wurschmidt (Stavern, Norway/Thor Heyerdahl VGS) and Armon Haghighat (Irvine, Calif./Irvine Valley CC) each had two shots on goal.
With the win, Evansville moves to 1-2-4 on the season. The Aces will be back in action on Wednesday for a road test at Dayton. Kick-off is set for 6 PM CT. |
