Commencement Central for May Graduates is March 2 & 3

All May graduates should plan on attending Commencement Central March 2 & 3 in Ridgway outside of the Bookstore from 10-4.  There they can meet with the Registrar's office, Alumni Office, Career Services and the Bookstore.  During the event, May graduates can finalize graduation information,  and meet with Alumni Relations and Career Services for valuable information.  Graduates will also purchase their cap and gowns for graduation and order graduation announcements, if so desired, for graduation.  Please make sure your son or daughter is aware of these dates and plans to attend one of the days. 

This is a must stop for May graduates!  If you have any questions feel free to contact Doug Gustwiller at 812-488-2680, or email him at dg57@evansville.edu

Beware of Financial Aid Services Requesting a Fee

Several students have reported receiving a mailing from College Financial Advisory. The letter references applying for "all available 2011-12 financial aid programs" and wants to collect your $59 processing fee. DO NOT respond to mailings from this organization. Another company to have recently sent materials is "Student Financial Aid Services, Inc." They direct you to file your FAFSA at www.fafsa.COM for a fee. Don't go there! Remember, filing the official 2011-12 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.GOV is FREE, and filing by March 10 is an important step that we encourage all UE students to take. However, the Office of Financial Aid recommends you never pay a person or service to assist you with filing the FAFSA or searching for scholarships. You can browse through a listing of private scholarships on our AceLink financial aid page under the link: "Outside Scholarship Opportunities."

Double your Gift to UE with the Kazee Challenge

Generous donors to UE are honoring President Thomas Kazee by matching dollar-for-dollar Annual Fund gifts made by parents in the Challenge group! If you have a corporate matching gift, that will be matched as well.  

The Kazee Challenge will also “pay off” in another way if you are a parent who is also a UE Alumni. Our alumni participation rate is currently 14%. Each time we increase 2%, the Annual Fund will earn $25,000! So alums, please make a gift today!  

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
- Make a gift today by calling 812-488-2271 or visiting www.evansville.edu/give.
- If you have a corporate matching gift, send in your form or enter it online.
- Spread the word! Email, Phone, Facebook, Twitter…just let other alums, friends and parents of UE   know that you made a gift and you would like them to make one too!

Don't miss out on this great opportunity to have your UE Annual Fund gift doubled, and to possibly  help increase the alumni participation rate!
