Example Calendar

Dr. Audrey Anton, WKU Assistant Professor of Philosophy, will give us all some real "Food For Thought" on May 6 as she tells us about her WKU course on "Why Are Bad People Bad?"  She developed this course with the help of funding from a National Endowment for the Humanities "Enduring Questions" grant and this semester, one half of her students are prisoners in a maximum security prison in Nashville, Tn.  These prisoners have proven to be very dedicated students and their insights on why bad people are bad may help us all as we ponder this "enduring question".

Reservations are required by Friday, May 1st. Cost is $10 and includes a box lunch and beverage. Reservations are accepted online or by phone.
