Shakespeare Behind Bars Prison Trip
The third annual trip to the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in Kentucky will occur on Tuesday, October 27. This trip gives participants a chance to interact with the inmates of a medium security prison as they rehearse a Shakespeare play, discuss it with a professor, and answer questions from students. Students may be asked to participate with the inmates in a few activities. Except for the cost of lunch, the trip is free. Participants in the trip must complete a criminal background check, watch the movie documentary about Shakespeare Behind Bars, and read the play the inmates will be working on, Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale. It would be helpful to have more male students participating. Please contact Dr. Jack Heller for more information.

Constitution Day, September 17 

This week occasions the annual celebration of Constitution Day.  In 2004, Congress passed a bill recognizing the 17th of September as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, observing the date in 1787 that the 39 founders signed the U.S. Constitution. This commemoration is a time for us to reflect on their legacy and develop the habits of citizenship in a new generation of Americans. HU will observe the date in three ways.  Take time to visit the display case in the RichLyn Library lobby.  It offers a view on interesting ways that the Constitutional tradition has been conceived and taught in the past.  Also, notice the table top cards in the Dining Commons that have noteworthy facts about the Constitution and its tradition of interpretation in U.S. History. Finally, look in the Dining Commons on Wednesday at lunch for a short quiz on the Constitution and U.S. Citizenship; if you complete the quiz and answer the questions correctly, you'll be entered into a drawing for prizes at Wednesday dinner. Below you will find some links to websites that feature the U.S. Constitution, its drafting, and its legacy over the years.  You are welcome to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution by touring these pages and learning more about this focal point of our national experience:

 

National Constitution Center

 

National Archives "Charters of Freedom"

 

Library of Congress "Creating the United States"
