OPINION | Remember Butler’s history
On Feb. 7, Butler University will celebrate its history and founder. The university has a long history worthy of pride. But as members of a community, we should take time to learn all of our history.

OPINION | Lessons from abroad: Studying overseas provides sights seldom seen
On my GALA group’s last day in Barcelona, we were free to do whatever we wanted. Some went to the beach. Some got caught up on laundry and readings for classes and others went off around the city. It was melancholy that this was our last day in the hustle, bustle and warmth of Barcelona,…

The Butler dance department presents: The Midwinter Dance Festival
Different styles, music and costumes can be brought together by one essential element: dance. All these components will mesh and be put on display to encompass the tradition of the Midwinter Dance Festival at Butler University.
