Join Professor Alyssa Arnell’s U.S. History to 1865 class, open to the GCC community on Election Day! As the 2026 midterm elections arrive, this open class invites the GCC community to examine the ways in which disenfranchised people in the early United States invoked citizenship when the right to vote was denied to them. During the first half of the nineteenth century, voting rights narrowed for many free Black men and the small number of women who had exercised them, even as political participation expanded for most white men. Indigenous nations sought to protect their sovereignty and territorial rights, sometimes by adopting written constitutions that drew upon American constitutional forms.

Citizenship was not simply something the government granted—it was also something people claimed and demanded. Men and women asserted their right to possess firearms and demanded to be heard in court. They purchased land and defended their property rights. The Cherokee Nation adopted a written constitution based on the U.S. version to defend its own political authority.

As we prepare to vote in the upcoming election, we will ask what it means to demand representation without the ballot and reflect on the importance of exercising our individual political power today. Free lunch for all attendees!

Join fellow alumni to view a free showing of The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later, chronicling the long-term effects of Matthew Shepard’s murder on the citizens of Laramie. Riveting and thought-provoking, this companion piece to the famed docudrama  The Laramie Project presents a town wrestling with its history and legacy.

On October 6, 1998, gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard left the Fireside Bar with Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson. The following day he was discovered on a prairie at the edge of town tied to a fence, brutally beaten and left to die. Over the next year, ten members of Tectonic Theatre Project company came to Laramie six times and conducted over 200 interviews. These texts became the basis for the original play; ten years later, five members of Tectonic returned to Laramie to try to understand the long-term effect of the murder. Please RSVP.

Join us for our fall theater performance of The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later, an epilogue to the acclaimed drama revolving around the 1998 horrific death of openly gay student Matthew Shepard, who was brutally beaten and left to die, mainly—if not fully—due to his sexual orientation. Directed by Tom Geha, the play is based on real-life interviews given in Laramie, Wyoming, ten after the crime and explores a town wrestling with its history and legacy.

Free preview performance Thursday, November 5; talkback with director and cast immediately following the performance November 6 and 13. Reserve tickets online.

Professor Z Zinter delivers a talk “Why the Good Stuff Doesn’t Last: The Psychology of Gratitude, Savoring and Taking Things for Granted.” Why do things we once desperately wanted eventually start to feel… normal? A new job, an accomplishment, a relationship, a purchase or even a positive change in our lives can make us happy—and then, remarkably quickly, we get used to it. Psychologists call this hedonic adaptation, and it reveals something fascinating about how the human mind works. In this talk, we’ll explore why we’re so good at adapting, and what research on gratitude, savorin, and attention can teach us about noticing what we’ve learned to overlook. Along the way, we’ll consider a curious possibility: that appreciating what we have may depend less on changing our circumstances and more on changing what we notice.
