In politics, the old adage “having a seat at the table” is often used to refer to those in positions of power, influence and policy making. This poster exhibit highlights a few of the women who have held political office and had “a seat at the table” in decision making for the Commonwealth.

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.

Gazing Deeply showcases how WKU’s backyard—the unique landscape of Mammoth Cave—is being studied, interpreted, and inspiring action on environmental change. Coinciding with the UNESCO Conservation of Fragile Karst Resources: A Workshop on Sustainability and Community and Earth Day’s 50th anniversary in 2020, this exhibition is a collaborative effort between arts and science faculty and students that highlights one of the most well-known and vital natural landscapes in the world.

This exhibit traces the history of Kentucky women in politics and political activism, featuring artifacts from the Rather-Westerman Collection and the America United/Divided project.

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.

by Rachel Bonds

After the death of her boyfriend, Penelope is left in a wave of depression. But when mutual friend, Matt, comes into her world with bright colors, she suddenly finds herself questioning everything.

Brothers on a Hotel Bed
by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman

Two half-brothers, having just met four hours prior, enter their hotel room to find only one bed. Will they be able to see eye to eye and get a night of rest after a long day of driving? Will they feel awkward and sleep in shifts? Or will they argue all night and ruin this new family relationship?

Synchro
by Katie Van Zile

Locker rooms aren’t just for men; synchronized swimming isn’t just pretty swim caps and water-proof mascara. Witty and intense, Synchro, by WKU student Katie Van Zile, explores how success in this seemingly easy sport takes a fierce team of athletes who will fight for each other and a shot at the Olympics. 

Recommended for mature audiences.
