Interest in Seeing the Film "Killers of the Flower Moon"? | Nov 15
The Cohen Honors College is sponsoring a film screening of the film 鈥淜illers of the
Flower Moon鈥� for Native American Heritage month in November.
鈥淎t the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became
some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans
immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted and stole as much
Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told
through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle
(Lily Gladstone), 鈥淜illers of the Flower Moon鈥� is an epic western crime saga, where
real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro and
Jesse Plemons, 鈥淜illers of the Flower Moon鈥� is directed by Academy Award winner Martin
Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann鈥檚
bestselling book.鈥� 鈥� description taken from AppleTV+
Let us know if you are interested so we can plan the size of the theatre!

This course reviews historical events and contemporary headlines, and engages students
in courageous conversations as means of inspiring them to think critically about race
and its role in society. Though the course discusses the popular yet controversial
Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement that inspires its title, it spends more time looking
at BLM as a statement that describes the sentiment of many black that their lives
are insignificant in the eyes of mainstream America.
The Dynamic Universe | HNRS 153B | CRN 22823
When: Monday and Wednesday 8:00-9:15
Who: Dr. David Ratcliffe

of this course covers a variety of topics, including the solar system, the sun, the
stars, stellar evolution (birth, life and death of stars), galaxies and cosmology
(the origin and fate of the universe).
Earlier This Week
Tilford Conference at Washburn University | Oct 5-6
The Michael Tilford Conference provides a platform for the education world, business
leaders, and the community, to examine diversity in education and business by exploring
various challenges and opportunities. The conference travels to every state university
plus Washburn and spends two consecutive years at each. This year鈥檚 conference is
year two for Washburn University, then it will come to Wichita State for the 2024
and 2025 conference years. In the spirit of diversity in education and the history
of Topeka, Kansas, this year鈥檚 theme (Living into Brown: Staying the Course Toward
Inclusion and Belonging) aligns well with the current state of diversity in education
while also celebrating the history of the 1954 Brown v. BOE supreme court decision.
With amazing sessions and keynote speakers, including Cheryl Brown Henderson (daughter
of the late Oliver Brown of Brown v. BOE) this year鈥檚 conference is certainly one
to attend.

Poem of the Week | Excerpt from "October" by Robert Frost
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow鈥檚 wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow鈥�
