University of Evansville Rejoins New American Colleges and Universities Network (NACU)

Evansville, Ind. (07/09/2025) — The University of Evansville (UE) is proud to announce it has rejoined the New American Colleges and Universities (NACU) - a national consortium of small, mission-oriented institutions that foster collaboration, innovation, and student success.

NACU connects campuses that share UE's values and goals, offering a platform to collaborate on initiatives, learn from best practices, and pursue strategic partnerships. Through NACU, UE will have access to resources such as leadership development programs, data-sharing initiatives, and specialized opportunities like the Washington Internship Institute.

"It's an exciting step forward for the University of Evansville," said President Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz. "NACU brings a powerful network of collaborators who are deeply committed to education, innovation, and service, values that align with our mission and our belief in the ability of education to change lives and, in turn, change the world. We're proud to rejoin this community and look forward to all we can achieve together."

The University of Evansville is a private, comprehensive university with a solid foundation in the arts and sciences and professional schools in business, engineering, education, and health sciences. Established in 1854, UE is recognized across the globe for its rich tradition of innovative, academic excellence and dynamic campus community of #Changemakers.

Home of the Purple Aces, UE is located in the southwestern region of Indiana and offers over 75 majors, 17 Division I sports, and a unique study abroad experience at Harlaxton, the University's very own Victorian manor located in the countryside of England.
