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.

His title “ADHD Isn’t Real” – Addressing ADHD Stigma Through Public Policy and Social Marketing is grounded in social marketing and public policy frameworks, his paper addresses the persistent stigma surrounding ADHD and offers actionable research-based recommendations to reduce discrimination, improve mental health outcomes, and enhance educational, career, and life opportunities for individuals with ADHD.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – With his team facing a 1-0 deficit with less than 15 minutes to play, Evansville freshman Andres Escudero (San Sebastián de los Reyes, Spain/IES Joan Miro) notched his second brace in three matches to power Evansville to a come from behind 2-1 win over Butler on Tuesday night at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

After Butler opened the scoring with a goal in the 77^th minute, Escudero scored the equalizer in the 80^th minute before delivering the winner in the 86^th minute. With the brace, Escudero becomes the first Evansville freshman with multiple braces in a season since MVC Freshman of the Year Nacho Diaz Barragan in 2022.

The first half saw scoring chances for both sides, but neither side was able to convert for a goal. Escudero and Chase Ricker (Albuquerque, N.M./La Cueva HS) put shots on goal for the Aces in the 26^th and 28^th minutes, while Ben Zec (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) tallied shots on goal in the 34^th and 36^th minutes.

Action ratcheted up late in the second half, starting with a near goal by Evansville's Devin Shepherd (Denver, Colo./Arapahoe) in the 70^th minute. However, his shot went off the crossbar and the Aces were denied.

In the 76^th minute, Butler broke through for the night's first goal on a header from Sam Pitts-Eckersall.

With their backs against the wall, Evansville responded in the 80^th minute. Shepherd started the chance with a long ball down to Ricker who found Zec on the right side. From there, Zec lofted a pass to Escudero near the penalty spot, where he took a touch off the left foot before beating the Butler keeper for the goal.
 
Less than six minutes later, the Aces struck again. Nacho Garcia (Zaragoza, Spain/UNIR) starting things this time, finding Pablo Calvete (Ponferrada, Spain/UNIR) at midfield. Calvete then delivered a beautiful through ball to a streaking Escudero, who took two touches to the top of the box before ripping a strike into the top left corner for the game-winning goal.
 
With Butler scrambling for the equalizer in the final minutes, Mroz made a game-saving stop for the second match in a row, leaping to the top left corner to get a hand on would-be goal to preserve the lead. From there, Evansville withstood two more Bulldogs' shots to come out with their second win of the season.

"It was a battle," said Head Coach Robbe Tarver. "Conceding late in the second half and then having the resiliency to bounce back and score two goals, I thought we created enough to go ahead. Happy that we battled, I think we need to keep that spirit moving forward because that's what it takes to win in the MVC."
 
"Andres is a relentless runner. He is always looking to get in behind; I think he changes the dynamic of our team with his willingness to run. Obviously, we are excited that he scored another brace and that we got the win tonight." 

Butler held a 12-11 advantage in shots, but Evansville led in shots on goal with six to the Bulldogs' three. Mroz made three saves in goal for the Aces.  

With the win, Evansville moves to 2-2-5 on the season. The Aces will be back in action on Friday to open MVC play, traveling to Bowling Green for a rematch of last season's MVC title match. Kick-off is set for 6 PM CT.
