This exhibit tells the stories of freshmen year from participants in a student success intiative, WKU Freshmen Guided Pathway (FGP). This cohort of first-time, full-time students who graduated from one of five high schools in Warren County represent the typical WKU freshman in terms of academic achievement prior to admission and their demographic makeup.

FGP assists students as they negotiate the often difficult affective and academic shifts between high school and college. Learn more about the program in this exhibit, presented by the Kelly M. Burch Institute for Transformative Practices in Higher Education, Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing, the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, the WKU Center for Literacy, and the Kentucky Museum.

History suggests that as “big business” started to take hold in the late 1800s, women became more involved in business and working outside the home. However, few women owned companies. Those that did were in industries centered on women, such as home goods, apparel, or personal care.

Today, women own only 40% of businesses in the U.S., making Carrie Burnam Taylor’s business of the early 20th century that much more impressive. Curated with Dr. Carrie Cox, this exhibit will explore Taylor's life and work, displaying three of her dresses, two coats, two bodices, and various undergarments recently conserved thanks to our Adopt-an-Artifact program.

Phantom Pains is a one-act play about a captain who dies at sea and is unable to move on from the guilt of losing his daughter. Until he meets Florence, his granddaughter. Florence gets the family she never had, but soon begins to live her life for the dead and not herself. It’s a play about facing what you’re afraid of, learning to let go, and becoming your true self.

Written and directed by student, Sandie Merena, the production of Phantom Pains is still in its early stages. As a part of an honors capstone, this will be an informal reading that includes a talkback at the end. Please come to meet some ghostly sailors and sing along to the beloved sea shanties they’ve taken to the grave!

This is a free event and is a part of the Rising Artist Series. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
