Another championship for IUPUI women’s golf
Congratulations to the women’s golf team for back-to-back Horizon League championships. The team won by 13 shots overall at the April 21-23 tournament in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida, and three players – Marion Debove, Amelie Svejda and Kara Blair – were named to the all-tournament team. Debove, a junior from Paris, was recently named Horizon League player of the year.
The championship sent the team to the NCAA Regionals this week, participating as the No. 18 seed at the East Lansing Regional at Michigan State University’s Forest Akers West Course. The 54-hole tournament started Monday; the top six teams and top three individuals will advance to the NCAA National Championship in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Help fund a Jaguar statue on campus
A ferocious new sculpture is being planned for the Hine Hall courtyard, and you can help make it a reality. A statue depicting IUPUI’s Jaguar mascot is in the works, and a crowdfunding effort was launched in April to accelerate the piece’s completion.
According to IUPUI director of development Peter Hunter, no rendering of the statue has been finalized. The size and material of the statue are still being decided as well, but rest assured that the statue will be a claw-some show of school spirit. Give today.
