Meet WFIU on-air personality Annie Corrigan and get signed copy of her new book Earth Eats: Real Food Green Living. Based on the WFIU radio show and podcast, Earth Eats showcases local food at its finest and features everything the local grower and food enthusiast needs to know all year round.

This exhibit documents the efforts off Indiana Senator Birch Bayh to, first, reform the Electoral College and then, almost immediately despairing of that, to abolish it in favor of direct popular election of the President.

The barriers encountered by Bayh and his staff over a sixteen-year period reveal the complex mix of historical fissures, party politics, congressional alliances, personal relations, political ambitions, and, finally, the coalitions of unlikely bedfellows that can ultimately decide the fate of even a reform supported by the overwhelming majority of the American people.

Documents in the exhibit are from the Birch Bayh Senatorial Papers, which are part of the IU Libraries’ Modern Political Papers collections. Originals of official documents of the Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments had to be returned to the National Archives, so some of the documents in the exhibit are copies made to preserve the completeness of the collection.

Tracy Templeton, Associate Professor of Printmaking at IUB, recently travelled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a month-long residency at Proyecto Áce, a prestigious artist’s residency focused on print and photographic media. At CAHI, she will discuss her recent series, dis-PLACED—work she developed while at the residency, “influenced by current events of the Syrian refugee crisis, travel, migration, and temporal moments.”

The Taste Of The World showcases the food and culture of countries associated with Ivy Tech’s students, staff and faculty. The event will include:

• FREE International food
• Live world music and performers
• This event is completely *FREE* and open to the public
• All ages welcome – bring the kids!
• Student projects with an international focus will be on display
