Popular speaker and columnist to make return Peace Lecture appearance

Popular speaker and columnist to make return Peace Lecture appearance Melanie Zuercher Special to the Kansan  When Leonard Pitts Jr. spoke in Bethel College’s Memorial Hall on Sept. 12, 2017, the venue was more full than it had been in over half a century, when Martin Luther King Jr. spoke on the same stage. Pitts’ lecture, titled “America in the Age of Trump,” was sponsored by the Kansas Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (KIPCOR) at Bethel as part of the Peace Lecture Series. KIPCOR is bringing Pitts for a return engagement, albeit under pandemic circumstances. The Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Miami Herald will speak on “Is America Possible?” April 25 at 2 p.m., live via Zoom.

KIPCOR film series continues this weekend

KIPCOR film series continues this weekend Melanie Zuercher Special to the Kansan For the third date in its annual film series, KIPCOR is offering a second chance for those who missed the November film and discussion. KIPCOR, the Kansas Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution at Bethel College, is holding its film series virtually this school year. Cooked: Survival by Zip Code is a multiple-award-winning documentary that focuses on the deadly 1995 Chicago heatwave to illustrate how people of color and low-income citizens suffer the most negative impact from natural disasters. The 76-minute film is an indictment of U.S. disaster preparedness and forges a link between extreme weather, extreme disparity (of income and other factors) and extreme racism.

December virtual town hall follow-up

December virtual town hall follow-up Dear faculty and staff,  On Dec. 11, as we wrapped up this fall semester unlike any other, we hosted more than 800 faculty and staff in our last virtual town hall of 2020. If you missed this live event, a recording of the session is available. These town halls are extremely important, providing an opportunity to come together as a community to discuss and reflect on matters impacting all of us. While these town halls were held this fall in lieu of our annual fall K-State 2025 college and unit visits, we are committed to continuing them throughout the spring semester.

DODGE CITY In the midst of a worsening pandemic, as coronavirus cases climbed, elected leaders in a former frontier town famous for its gunfights faced a choice. They could pass a mask mandate at the urging of health experts, or reject the measure blasted by some as a violation of their personal freedoms. The five commissioners of Dodge City, Kansas, a politically red cattle community of some 27,000 people, had resisted such measures all summer and into fall. Like other parts of rural and small-city America, Dodge City had mostly returned to normal after shaking off the pandemic’s first wave.
