This program offers admitted seniors the opportunity to participate in a variety of events hosted by our on-campus partners\, giving you a deeper look at life as a Wilkes student.\n\n\n\nThrough interactive programs\, campus activities\, and meaningful connections\, Colonels on Campus allows you to experience Wilkes alongside our vibrant campus community. It’s a chance to explore academic interests\, engage with student life\, and envision yourself as part of the Colonel family before your first day on campus. This Colonels on Campus event is hosted by our Sordoni Art Gallery. Details about this event are below.\n\n\n\n\nIn this side-splitting satire\, water is scarce and Hope is even scarcer. Set in a dystopian world\, citizens must pay a fee to access the public amenities\, the only place to legally use the restroom. These facilities are run and monitored by the richest of society. In a wave of revolution\, the poorest and filthiest of these amenities becomes a number one site for major change.  \n\n\n\nWith an incisive score by Tony winner Mark Hollmann\, hilarious lyrics by Hollman and Tony winner Greg Kotis\, and a plot with thrilling twists and turns\, Urinetown is an “audacious and exhilarating” (The New York Times) take on the classic story of a ragtag group of underdogs coming together against a corrupt power. In this Tony-winning musical\, nothing is safe from criticism — capitalism\, politics\, the establishment\, the anti-establishment\, and even musical theater itself! \n\n\n\nPlease be advised that WUT’s production of Urinetown includes the use of theatrical fog and haze effects\, as well as strobe lighting. These elements may affect audience members who are sensitive to atmospheric effects or flashing lights. Viewer discretion is advised. If you have concerns or require accommodations\, please contact the box office prior to attending the performance.

The video\, in some respects\, can be read as an expression of the lack of faith many Black Americans had in the system and philosophy that supposedly undergirds the Great Experiment—the foundation and continued existence of the United States of America. \n\n\n\nThat existence has never been threatened as it was during the American Civil War. And yet\, many African Americans\, from the country’s founding\, through the Civil War\, and into the 21st century\, have attempted to use law as a primary driver for fundamental legal change. This talk\, starting with stories of two women who escaped slavery\, and carrying through to a contemporary Black writer\, wrestles with the question of whether African Americans have been\, and continue to be\, bamboozled or buttressed by having any optimism in law in the United States. \n\n\n\nAfter spending 14 years working with teenagers in crisis\, Dr. Scott Hancock switched careers and earned a Ph.D. in Early American History in 1999. Both careers fuel his desire to understand how African Americans have shaped and been shaped by American law and memory\, and motivate him to tell the stories of people whom society and history have discounted as troublesome or unimportant. He is currently exploring how places like the Gettysburg battlefield can put African Americans and slavery back into the heart of stories told by landscapes and memorials. Some of his scholarly work has appeared in scholarly journals and anthologies\, such as The Civil War and the Summer of 2020\, They Are Dead and Yet Live\, and his book Walk Up The Hill: A College Student’s Guide to Scholar Activism. As part of trying to be a scholar activist\, he has also written for public audiences in local\, regional and national publications\, and welcomes engaging with people in a variety of forums\, including talking with visitors to the Gettysburg battlefield.
