Lindsey Wilson University faculty, staff and students visited the world-famous Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, for a backstage tour before attending a centennial production of Sean O'Casey's classic play "The Plough and the Stars" about the 1916 Easter Rising.
To prepare for the March 1-9, 2026, trip, which was funded in part by a university grant and a gift from the late honorary alumnus Dr. Jerry Westerfield of Russell Springs, the students spent the first seven weeks of the spring semester studying Irish art, culture, film and literature.

I stopped in to Long Run Park last week to do a little birdwatching, and noticed that trees a lot of trees around the edge of the lake at Long Run Park are no longer. Is this the work of a colony of beavers? Comments | Permalink Pooler and Stotts engaged at Cliffs of Moher

Shortly after Lindsey Wilson University faculty, staff and students arrived at the Cliffs of Moher, Lucas Pooler '26 proposed to his girlfriend, Laney Stotts '27.
"I'll never forget it. It was so beautiful," said Stotts. "I don't think he could have picked a more romantic spot."
"It had been planned out for months," said Pooler, a business administration major with a management emphasis from Columbia. "When she told me that she wanted to go on the trip, I was like, 'This would be the perfect time to do it.'" Comments | Permalink Older Photos
