The Holiday Spirit
Vespers Message
Traditionally, UE holds a very special on-campus Vespers Service to welcome the holiday season. While we are unable to gather this year, the message remains important. This year’s Vespers, which means “evening service” or “evening prayer”, is delivered by Rev. JillAnn Knonenborg, director of religious life at UE.
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Listen to the sounds of the season! The University of Evansville’s Department of Music has provided a selection of Christmas tunes for you to listen to at work, in the car, or in your home.

Coloring Pages
Print out your favorites for some artistic fun! Our selection of coloring pages includes simple designs for kids and more complex layouts for adults.
A Visit from Purple Santa
Children of UE alumni and employees are invited to visit with Purple Santa and share what they’d like for Christmas – all through Zoom! On Friday, December 4, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. (CST), children will get an opportunity to share a few minutes with Purple Santa and get their annual holiday photo taken (via screenshot). If you have questions, please contact the Office of Alumni and Engagement at alumni@evansville.edu.
