About Us

Mission Statement

Our mission in the Aces Esports Team is to empower each student to think critically, act bravely, serve responsibly, and live meaningfully in a changing world by enhancing students’ academic and professional careers through competitive co-curricular experience, lasting community friendships, and professional development opportunities.

Values

We promote academic and personal integrity to establish a culture of trust. Academic integrity begins with all students pledging to abide by our honor code, and extends to faculty, staff and administration adhering to our code of conduct. It culminates in an expectation of professionalism, transparency, and respect in all interactions. Personal integrity includes practicing informed, ethical decision-making, and respecting the ideas, rights, boundaries, and beliefs of others. Each member of our community is accountable and prepared to act as a responsible citizen of the world.

We recognize the value of interdisciplinary teamwork, creative problem solving, global immersion, and learning experiences at home and abroad. We recognize the value of learning from failure. We have the freedom, flexibility, and motivation to create experiences that help our students think critically and act bravely. Each member of our community is challenged to discover novel solutions to modern problems and to become a catalyst for progress.

We strive to develop lifelong learners. We introduce students to a variety of ideas that sharpen existing interests and awaken latent ones. We challenge students to stretch their minds, while supporting them with strong faculty engagement. Research, experiential learning, and community outreach foster intellectual curiosity while exposure to new ideas and technologies broadens our students’ view of the world and what might be possible.

We value openness and collaboration and recognize that inclusion leads to personal growth. Our commitment to actively fostering a diverse range of cultures and perspectives reflects the characteristics required to thrive in an increasingly global society. The university demonstrates and benefits from inclusion by welcoming all.

While learning and cultivating all the University of Evansville’s values, students involved in Esports can turn their intelligence into wisdom. We value the opportunities provided for our students to try what they have learned in a safe but challenging environment. These experiences allow our students to show integrity, inclusion, innovation, intellectual exploration, and learning in all life aspects.
