In the 1930s, what began as a botanical research trip propelled two Cincinnati scientist sisters into the fight to save the virgin forest of eastern Kentucky, and forever changed ecological science and environmental conservation. Drawing on both storytelling and theatrical traditions, EKU professor Dr. Alice Jones explores the lives and careers of sister scientists Annette Braun (1884-1978) and E. Lucy Braun (1889-1971)--the first two women to earn PhDs at the University of Cincinnati. The one-act play is free and open to the public, and Jones will be available afterward for conversation.

Do you or a friend volunteer more than 100+ hours? We know many of you do, so we encourage members of the EKU Community to apply for the President's Volunteer Service Award! “The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes United States citizens and lawfully admitted, permanent residents of the United States who have achieved the required number of hours of service over a 12-month time period or cumulative hours over the course of a lifetime.” (presidentialserviceawards.gov) Recipients of the Presidential Award stand out among their peers. Students can include this award on grad school and scholarship applications and their resume. Your impact on the community also inspires others to take action! How can students apply for the award? Log into OrgSync to submit involvement hours. Please submit your service hours by April 13, 2017 in order to receive the award.

Stop by today, ask about our bring your own mug loyalty program and get your card while they last.

EKU Theatre's last mainstage show of the season! A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, The Fox on the Fairway is filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans. It's a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers' classics and a charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man's enternal love affair with... golf. Performances
