🎭✨ Bravo to the cast & crew for the successful completed production of (The) Odyssey! ✨🎭

We’re celebrating an incredible run of a truly one of a kind show, written by our very own Professor of Theatre, Michael Harding and directed by Nick Freed!

This original adaptation didn’t just retell Homer’s epic; it invited audiences into a fresh, deeply human exploration of storytelling itself. As Harding describes it, “It’s not just a straight retelling of the Odyssey, but [an] exploration of how we can not only tell the story of the Odyssey, but shape it to the story we want to tell in our own experiences.”

From the performers who brought these characters to life, to the designers, technicians, stage managers, and production teams who built the world around them, thank you for your artistry, dedication, and heart. This show was bold, imaginative, and beautifully crafted because of each of you.

👏 Congratulations on a powerful Fall production!

📚✨In HIST 30200: Public History, Lindenwood students’ step outside the classroom and into the field, meeting the professionals who shape how history is preserved, interpreted, and shared with the public.

From visiting local sites to hearing directly from historians, curators, and museum professionals, this course gives you hands on experience and the insider knowledge you need to stand out in a competitive job market.

Recently, we’ve taken a trip to the Missouri Historical Society (soon to be the St. Louis History Museum) and invited Nick Sacco, Historian & Curator at the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site to be a guest lecturer.

These experiences help students see how history lives beyond textbooks, but in museums, archives, community spaces, and the stories we choose to tell.

If you’re passionate about people, places, and the past, the History BA at Lindenwood University might be your next big step.

✨ Explore the program and start building your future in public history, museums, education, research, and more.

✨🩰 Our Lindenwood Dance students have been busy making moves beyond campus!

Eight dancers recently traveled with Professor Tricia Zweier to the Dance City Festival – Detroit College Showcase & Recruitment Fair, representing Lindenwood alongside universities from Washington and Michigan. We’re proud to share that two Lindenwood works were selected for the College Showcase: a proper way to fracture by Professor Zweier and Comic Relief by Chloe Willis, BFA Dance candidate.

Throughout the weekend, students immersed themselves in a rich blend of performance, training, and creative exploration. They worked with renowned choreographer Mike Esperanza in a workshop that culminated in a premiere during the festival’s Dance & Celebration performance, and they expanded their technique in a contemporary masterclass led by Jared Baker, Artistic Director of Nova Linea Contemporary Dance.

Beyond the studio and stage, the group attended festival performances featuring hundreds of dancers, connected with artists and prospective students during a networking event, and experienced the festival’s Dance on Screen program.
It was a full, inspiring weekend of learning, creating, performing, and building community; a perfect example of how Lindenwood dancers grow their artistry both on and off campus.

If you’re ready for real experience, real connections, and real success, the Lindenwood Dance program is where your future begins. Visit the link in our bio to make your own way and tell your own story!

🏛️✨ From Campus to Capitol Hill! ✨🏛️

Honors Academy student Kadence “Kade” Berry — a triple major in Political Science (Pre Law), Philosophy & Religion, and Applied Artificial Intelligence — traveled to Washington, D.C., where she represented Lindenwood University and the Ohio Valley Conference at the Protect College Sports Act (PCSA) press release.

She didn’t just attend — she made an impact!

• ✍️ Authored an op ed on the PCSA, soon to be published in the St. Louis Post Dispatch

• 🎥 Appeared in a national promotional video supporting the legislation

• 🤝 Connected with policymakers, including staff from Senator Josh Hawley’s office, Senator Ted Cruz, and Senator Maria Cantwell

• 🏀 And yes… she even met coaching legend Coach John Calipari

Reflecting on her experience, Kade shared: “As the landscape of college athletics continues to rapidly change, we need student voices more than ever. It was a pleasure to take on that responsibility and advocate for student athletes in DC!”

This is what Honors Academy leadership looks like — students who show up, use their voices, and step confidently onto the national stage.

Join us in celebrating Kade and her incredible advocacy work! 🎓🦅

Congratulations to Dr. James Hutson, Senior Professor of Art History and Director of AI-Enabled Academic Transformation!

Dr. Hutson recently led the workshop “Building Trust in the Loop” at AI4LAM Fantastic Futures 2026: Trust in the Loop, held at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.

The interactive session brought together professionals from organizations including Yale, Harvard, Stanford, and the Library of Congress to examine a structured process for evaluating AI initiatives before they scale. Participants explored questions of appropriate use, human oversight, verification, institutional readiness, and governance.

The workshop grew directly from research within the Lindenwood University College of Arts and Humanities, where human-centered AI connects emerging technology with the critical thinking, ethics, creativity, communication, and human judgment necessary to use it responsibly.

Congratulations James on such a successful and interesting conference!
