UE Creates Virtual Challenge to Ignite Innovation

Evansville, IN (03/30/2020) — The University of Evansville has created the UE Challenge: a weekly virtual challenge that is focused on changemaking.

Erin Lewis, interim director of the Center for Innovation and Change said, "We have found that the best ideas come during challenging times. Changemaking doesn't know boundaries, and changemakers always find a way around any obstacle. We're excited to see what creative ideas come out of this challenging moment."

UE will choose a winner from each challenge and feature the winning idea on social media and the UE website. If you want to participate, you can find out more online and place your idea at evansville.edu/UEChallenge.

Students at the University of Evansville shape powerful and enduring change. UE is the first in Indiana to be designated as an Ashoka U Changemaker Campus, and its changemaking culture empowers students to improve the world around them as UE Changemakers. With over 80 majors in the arts and sciences and pre-professional programs, UE's diverse student body represents 44 states and 52 countries. U.S. News & World Report recognizes UE as the #6 Best College in the Midwest among private schools. For more information, please visit www.evansville.edu
