Show this image at Chipotle (499 N Green River Rd) on Thursday, September 25th, to help the ChangeLab Queer Memory Project: UE — Living Memory, Living Justice!

Help support The Dignity Project and the Evansville Rescue Mission by donating diapers (all sizes needed) or dollars. Every contribution helps families in need while fueling a fun competition between nursing classes and faculty!

How it works:

The class (or faculty) with the most donations wins bragging rights and a “foody” party for their generosity. Every diaper and dollar makes a difference. Let’s see who will come out on top while giving back to the community!

Cash/Diaper Drop Off Location: Graves Hall Nursing Office

Venmo: The Dignity Project (add your class in the memo so we can track points)

Competition runs through October 20th

Thursday, September 25 4:00pm in the Melvin M Peterson Gallery.

For the 23rd year, the UE Clay Club, Department of Art, and the Purple Potters are excited to announce the annual Chili Bowl Sale that will take place on Thursday, October 2, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., on the East Terrace Lawn near Ridgway University Center.

This longstanding tradition and philanthropy allow the community to purchase handcrafted ceramic bowls created by the UE community, with the majority of the proceeds supporting a food agency to fight local hunger. This event is part of the Empty Bowls initiative which is a grassroots effort by artists and crafts people in cities and towns across the country and around the world to feed the hungry in their communities. It supports food-related charitable organizations around the world, and has raised millions of dollars to help end hunger.

"This tradition offers the community the chance to own one-of-a-kind, handmade bowls, all while supporting our community," said Todd Matteson, Department Chair and Associate Professor of Art. "It's a wonderful way to showcase our creative talents, while giving back to the community. The funds raised allow us to continue our work with the local community to change the world."

There is a change in the cost of bowls this year. $15 will be the price of the smaller bowls, with other bowls being available from $20-$100. Each purchase includes a complimentary serving of chili sponsored by Chartwells Dining Services. Attendees are encouraged to buy a bowl, enjoy some chili, and spend time with friends. Come be a part of the largest one-and-a-half-hour event on UE's campus.

In the event of rain, the Chili Bowl Sale will move indoors to Eykamp Hall in Ridgway University Center. Please note that cash or checks are the only forms of payment accepted for this event.

For additional information, please call the UE Department of Art at 812-488-2043.

Huge THANKS to our Spring 2025 production team, Sophia Reyes, Jocelyn Solano Sánchez, Carlotta Pascual Centelles, and Tommy Housman!

At UE, we understand how teamwork can generate something greater than the sum of its parts. United Way of Southwestern Indiana knows that, too. For more than 100 years, they have transformed individual and business donations into resources struggling, working families need to grow toward financial and social stability.

UE continues to support United Way of SWI because their approach is a powerful and efficient way to transform donations into the resources people need to grow toward financial and social stability. All employees will receive an email from The Office of Human Resources sent out by United Way of SWI on or before our UE campaign begins on September 30, 2025.

Thank you in advance for being part of the solution. Together, we can plant the seed for a future where every person has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Sincerely,

Keith Gehlhausen, Executive Director of Human Resources and Institutional Equity

We are saddened to share the passing of Ludwig Anton Petkovsek, “Bruzz” to his friends and family, on Monday, September 15, 2025, after a long illness.

Professor Petkovsek began his academic career at Evansville College, later the University of Evansville, where he taught Sociology and Criminology for 42 years. He received the Outstanding Teacher Award (1972) and the Sadelle Berger Award for Community Service (1987). In recognition of his lasting impact, the Sociology and Criminal Justice Outstanding Service Award has been named in honor of Professor Petkovsek and his wife, Mary Rode Petkovsek, Emerita Professor of Nursing, since 2022.

Beyond the classroom, Professor Petkovsek dedicated himself to the Evansville community, serving on the Vanderburgh County Welfare Board, helping to found the Chrysalis House for Recovering Women, and serving on the board of Planned Parenthood of Evansville.

Private funeral services will be held at a later date, with interment at Sunset Memorial Park. Ziemer Funeral Home East Chapel is handling arrangements.
